What do flight attendants say when you are about to land?

Arrival (FAA-mandated and safety portions only) Ladies and gentlemen, [Airline Name] welcomes you to [city]. The local time is [time]. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle(s) clear until we are parked at the gate.



As a flight nears its destination, flight attendants deliver a "Pre-Arrival" or "Descent" announcement to prepare the cabin. A typical script starts with: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our initial descent into [City Name]." They will provide the local time and weather conditions before issuing safety instructions: "Please ensure your seatbelt is securely fastened, your seatback and tray table are in their full upright and locked position, and all carry-on items are stowed under the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins." They also remind you to switch all electronic devices to "airplane mode" and discontinue the use of laptops. Once the aircraft has touched down and is taxiing, they deliver the final welcome: "Welcome to [City], where the local time is [Time]. Please remain seated with your seatbelt fastened until the captain has turned off the Fasten Seatbelt sign." This formal yet friendly script is designed to ensure a safe transition from the air to the gate while providing essential logistical info for arriving passengers.
