Dalian, China: Airport Offers Cheerleaders


These young ladies may actually succeed in entertaining passengers as they check in and wait for their flights. Some suggested cheers could be:

Hooray, hooray...there’ll be a two-hour delay!
Sis boom bah....we’re strip-searching your ma!
Give a rousing cheer...your flight ain’t even near!
Let’s root for our team...on-time flight is just a dream!


According to CNN, officials at China’s Dalian International Airport brought in an array of cheerleaders to do their athletic best daily to help passengers and visitors pass the time pleasantly while waiting for flights, as well as arriving and departing relatives.

In efforts to make flying, check-in and waiting more pleasant, Dalian airport now also features free physical checkups and instant weather and flight updates by text message.

Dalian International Airport reported there were over 12 million passengers passing through last year. We find it difficult to imagine any American airports putting on any cheerleader services, unless you count those TSA security ladies who smile at you during their intimate frisking.

Don’t Ruin Your Next Trip By Tripping PDF Print E-mail


Remember the lyrics of old songs about falling? They included falling for you, I fall in love too easily and falling in love with love. Also, tripping the light fantastic.

However, now in your sunset years, falling has a much more serious meaning. For senior travelers, accidents aboard ship, in airports, on ramps, in bathtubs, wet city streets and many other potentially dangerous situations are always possible.

Before every journey away from home, consult with your family physician. If a cane or walker is suggested, take it along. Also, be sure to have a companion with you at all times. Wear sensible shoes, be extra careful as you roam, and make sure the word trip only applies to your enjoyable and safe journey.
