Today, catching a plane is a mundane and almost tiresome task. Add to that annoying co-passengers, cranky babies, uncomfortable seats… the list goes on. But some airlines have decided to put a little zing to when you take wing.
Take a look:

2. The VietJet Air
On this airline, one is welcomed by air hostess wearing a bikini. The firm stirred up a controversy in 2011 when it released a series of images of women dressed only in bikinis as part of an advertising campaign.

3. Giant pink plane called ‘GAY’
In the fight for rainbow rights, Iceland’s WOW Airline takes the cake. The Reykjavik-based airline launched the hot pink planes in support of LGBT rights. That’s a win!
4. Air Malta
For those who are afraid flying, Air Malta is the best bid to ward off the fear. This flight offers services that include complimentary neck, head, and foot massages. It also gives out spa vouchers and beauty products.

10. Hooters Air
In 2003, the restaurant chain Hooters joined the airline business. While it eventually stopped its services, the airlines’ “delightfully tacky yet unrefined” theme was the centre of everybody’s attention. The plane had scantily clad Hooters girls and flight attendants that entertained passengers with trivia games, Hooters merchandise, and assisted with beverage service. The airline shut shop in 2006.
11. La Compagnie
This French airline provides massage chairs that can be transformed into beds; passengers also get gourmet dishes of your choice, and everyone gets a Samsung tablet The best part? The price of the seat is less than business class!

14. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
They actually let people view other passengers’ Facebook or LinkedIn profile details and see where they’ll be sitting. It’s called the ‘Meet and Seat’ service, While it sounds exciting, it’s almost glorifying stalking.
