“You should have taken a video of passenger's expression... Missed it... I wish I was there in this flight,” added another user.

“Wonderful attempt and really appreciate it. It's okay to make small mistakes for non-native speakers but his efforts should be appreciated rather than making fun of it,” wrote another user.
