35 Best Flying Puns That Are Sky-High

It's plane to see you can't get enough of puns, so here are some more flying over from the departure gate to entertain you and your family.

A pun can appear in a fully-fledged joke, be a short sentence you can slip into a conversation or a tale that twists and turns through wordplay fun, and flight puns can deliver them all. Every pun on this list is designed to make you and your family laugh out loud!

When the first flight pun appeared is a mystery, but a lot has happened to inspire plane-related humor since the very first successful aircraft took to the skies in 1903. The legendary Wright Brothers invented a craft with a three-axis control, so the pilot could successfully control it in the air. Technology and air travel is an ever-changing match made in heaven, and as planes improve so does plane, flying, and airport-related humour (or not as the case may be)!

Whether you are a pun fan or a newbie, fasten your seatbelts, grab a friend, and get laughing along with us. We have pilot puns, air puns, and even a few baggage-themed funnies. Who would have thought when the Wright Brothers took their first flight, that so many years later we would have a global network of airports and access to fly to all kinds of destinations, and the jokes and one-liners that come with them!
