Flight attendant who jumped into overhead compartment was 'having a bit of fun'

It's not everyday you see a flight attendant inside a plane’s overhead luggage compartment - but stunned passengers on a US flight witnessed exactly that.

Bizarre footage shows a female flight attendant inside the plane’s overhead compartment on a Southwest Airlines flight from Nashville to Philadelphia in the US.

She's seen resting on her side and stomach, with her feet hanging out of the compartment.

When passengers board the plane the flight attendant starts to talk before the video cuts off. But Southwest say she was just 'having a bit of fun' with the passengers.

Veronica Lloyd who filmed the peculiar scene said the attendant stayed in the compartment "for a solid ten minutes".

She said: “It was very interesting.

“I think she was doing it to try and be funny and make the passengers laugh.”

Veronica added the woman came down from the bin she was very nice for the remainder of the flight.

Southwest Employees told Fox News in a statement: "Southwest Employees are known for demonstrating their sense of humor and unique personalities.

"In this instance, one of our Flight Attendants attempted to have a brief moment of fun with Customers during boarding.

"Of course, this is not our normal procedure, and Southwest Crews always maintain Safety as their top priority."
