Elordi and cast members hilariously roasted Alaska Airlines after the company's recent mid-air mishap (remember the door-popping, emergency landing, federal investigation incident?). 

The fake team of Alaska Airlines in the ad made light of the disaster by introducing their new slogan “You didn’t die and you got a cool story” and featuring an interview with a “real passenger” who said that on the flight, she was terrified, but now “I’m the coolest person at the office.”

The actors joked that since the incident, they’ve made some  “small changes,” with Elordi saying the airline was going to tighten some bolts “that hold the plane together.”

On a serious note, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, while investigating the incident, stated it was fortunate everyone on the plane survived and passengers, who said they thought they were going to die, have sued Alaska Airlines and Boeing.
