Delta Captain Calms Anxious Passengers Amid Travel Troubles With a Story About Ice Cream

Right before takeoff recently, a Delta Air Lines captain grabbed the intercom and decided it was time for some in-flight therapy.

Aware that passengers were on edge from all the airport chaos lately, he told everyone to relax and then decided the best way to help ease the tension was to scoop up a wholesome story about ice cream. When a pilot tells you he’s determined to not let his daughter and her ice cream dreams down, you can trust he’s not letting the plane down either!

Sometimes when life feels like a rough landing, you just need a pint of reassurance.
