In the age of all work and no play, Do British still cherish a classic taste for standup comedy? Sure they do. The national airline of UK, British Airways has come up with an event that marked its name in the books of history for ever and not only the book of history but also the book of Guinness world Records.<\/p>\n

\n

The airline\u2019s partnership with UNICEF came to an end in last year June followed by affiliation of British Airways<\/a> with Comic Relief \u2013 to fight for some of the noblest causes. The airline raised more than 700,000 GBP for flying start, the new charity partnership with Comic Relief and by offering a \u2018Smile High Show\u2019 alone, the money raised was some 100,000 GBP for Red Nose Day.<\/p>\n

\n

The stars that made the Sky smile were Jack Whitehall, Dara O Brian and Jon Richardson. The flight number BA A321 took off from Terminal 5 at London Heathrow Airport and flew over UK for 2.5 hours. This dedicated flight had around 180 passengers and was captained by British Airways proud pilot Brian Connolly.<\/p>\n

A joke to remember by comedian Jack Whitehall, \u201cI was looking forward to today, after all it\u2019s the only gig where people can\u2019t walk out\u201d.<\/p>\n

The airline not only succeeded in putting the smiles on faces and winning the hearts but also raised a big chunk for its Charity event, making lives better. Also the airline takes pride in holding Guinness World Records title for hosting the world\u2019s highest standup comedy gig. This record, sure, will take a lot to be smashed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
