The clip, seemingly recorded by a passenger, captures Epstein’s infectious personality on an earlier flight, as he engages with travelers, cracks jokes, and reminds them how much they are valued.
"Ian was the person who made customers feel like they were in first class, even if their seat was in the last row," the user who shared the video wrote in the caption.
In the footage, Epstein speaks over the intercom, blending humor with gratitude as he engages with the passengers. "We know the reason we have jobs is because you guys are flying. We love you, we appreciate you," Epstein said, as passengers can be heard laughing and applauding in the background.

His signature wit shines as he sets the tone for the flight, even laying out his own set of “rules.” "We have rules on my airplane, so make sure you're following them at all times. There is absolutely, positively not to be one ounce of mopiness or groaning on this plane."
Beyond his role as a flight attendant, Epstein had a history in entertainment, something he worked into his airline routines. "I was a comedian for 27 years. I spent 14 years as a stuntman in Hollywood, which is why my head is shaped this way. You can't make fun of my head," he joked, prompting more laughter from the cabin.
As the video comes to an end, Epstein delivers a final warm welcome, encapsulating what made him so special.
