I Had A Blast With Netflix’s Carry-On, But I Can’t Get Over How One Flight Attendant Reacted To The Movie

by

As someone who has spent countless hours at airports and flown on numerous flights, I must say that “Carry-On” is a delightfully entertaining movie that captures the essence of airport drama while adding a thrilling twist to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The movie’s location shooting at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was convincingly done, making me momentarily believe they filmed on location.

However, as an experienced traveler, I must admit that there were some plot holes and inaccuracies that made me wince a bit, such as the ease with which Jason Bateman’s character navigated through airport security and the cargo hold of a 737. Yet, I appreciate the flight attendant’s reaction on TikTok who pointed out these inconsistencies with humor and relatability.

It reminded me of my own experiences as an FA, where we often have to shake our heads at movies that portray our profession inaccurately. The comments section of the TikTok only added to the fun, with fellow FAs chiming in on their shared disbelief at the ease with which the Traveler moved through the cargo hold.

All in all, “Carry-On” is a fun and thrilling ride that I would recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining escape from reality, especially during these trying times when travel is still limited. Just don’t try to sneak into the cargo hold of a 737 like Jason Bateman did, or you may end up in more trouble than you bargained for!

As a big fan, I must say that rewatching “Carry-On” recently has been an absolute joy. Not only is it currently one of the top movies on Netflix, but it’s held the number one spot for two consecutive weeks! Over the holidays, I watched it with my family and was delightfully entertained by its fun and suspenseful plot. Taron Egerton did a fantastic job keeping us on the edge of our seats, while Jason Bateman perfectly embodied a chilling villain. The experience of yelling at the TV together on the couch with loved ones made it even more enjoyable. However, a recent TikTok video has given me a fresh perspective on this movie!

Having visited LAX for numerous trips, I found myself deceived into believing scenes were filmed there (when in fact they were shot at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport). Despite several plot inconsistencies that appeared unrealistic, I’m not too fussy about movie plausibility – especially when it comes to aviation. I was intrigued to learn the opinions of people who work at the airport and on planes regarding the film, and my curiosity was well rewarded by a flight attendant’s candid response.

One Flight Attendant‘s Reaction To Carry-On Is Actually Hilarious

As a movie enthusiast with a knack for noticing intricate details, I must say that one of my colleagues at TopMob recently shared a fascinating observation that resonated deeply with me. They pointed out how the humor in “Carry-On” reminded them of “Toy Story 2”. Being someone who has grown up watching both franchises, I can definitely see the similarities, especially in terms of the comedic timing and the way characters interact with each other.

However, what truly caught my attention was another colleague’s praise for one of the action scenes. It’s always refreshing to hear someone acknowledge the hard work that goes into creating such sequences, but it was their specific choice of words that struck a chord with me. They described it as “a symphony of chaos”, which I found to be an apt description of many of my own experiences in life – chaotic yet beautifully orchestrated.

But the reaction that truly stood out for me was one shared by another colleague regarding the Netflix hit we recently watched. This person spoke about how it stirred up feelings of nostalgia, making them reminisce about their childhood and the simple joys of life. For me, this resonated deeply as well, as I too find myself drawn to stories that evoke such emotions.

In conclusion, while everyone may have had different favorite aspects of our recent movie discussion, it was clear that each person’s unique perspective added value to our shared experience. Movies, like life, are a canvas for us to project our own thoughts and feelings onto, making each viewing a truly personal journey.

One time, a flight attendant and her coworker opted to enjoy the movie “Carry-On” using their Netflix account, along with some mixed drinks. As they settled in for the show, it certainly held their interest. At one point, her fellow flight attendant even needed to pause the film to express her disappointment at a scene’s accuracy near the end of the movie. During the final moments of “Carry-On,” Jason Bateman’s character, “The Traveler,” strolls towards the rear of the plane without being stopped by anyone before lifting a carpet and entering the cargo hold beneath the aircraft.

According to the real Flight Attendant rules, he frequently stays in the same area that the Mysterious Passenger tends to slip away to. It’s virtually impossible for him to bypass this person so effortlessly. Additionally, it has been verified that there is no cargo hatch located at the back of a Boeing 737’s galley, contrary to what the movie suggests. The comments beneath this TikTok only enhance its appeal. Here are some additional responses from people who appear to be Flight Attendants or airport workers:

  • “The cargo hold is NOT that big 😭” – @alex.mccabee
  • “All FAs felt the same in this moment ahahaha” – @kimmysaucy
  • “HAHAHA I’m dead. Waiting for the day someone comes to the galley trying to find the ‘compartment’ 😂” – @tharpytharp
  • “I work on the ramp and said what the hell kind of basement they got in these planes.” – @tmulher6768

The TSA Has Also Shared Their Thoughts On The Accuracy Of Carry-On

Furthermore, given that a significant portion of the Netflix film “Carry-On” unfolds at an airport security checkpoint, Jessica Mayle, a representative for the TSA, clarified to Newsweek that there are numerous inaccuracies in the movie. Among these inaccuracies is the portrayal of TSA officers playing “Contraband Bingo” or the option for passengers to bypass scanner screenings. She emphasized that in reality, all passengers must undergo screening before boarding a flight. She also pointed out that the depicted scenario in the movie does not reflect actual procedures.

Based on TSA’s multi-layered security strategy that relies heavily on intelligence and risk assessment, it seems highly improbable that the situations portrayed in the movie would bypass the security measures at U.S. airports.

I’m quite optimistic about that, and it’s undeniably reassuring! Although Carry-On might be far from the truth, I thoroughly enjoyed following its intricate storyline. After you’ve watched it, don’t forget to take a look at Taron Egerton’s thoughts on a potential sequel.
