Haha...lol...snape
I saw this a long time ago and thought how cool it was and how I would never run into someone that was an internet meme :(
UNTIL TODAY
I was at LGA waiting for my flight to Miami and BOOM - Snape Air was helping me with my tickets.
I took a creeper photo at first...cause if he didn't like being the meme, I didn't want to upset him
But I talked with him later and he was totally loving his internet "fame." Specifically, he said it was "cool." We talked for a little while - long enough to know this guy is a cool guy.
I was the last person on the plane because I was talking to him. I made my way down the gangway and he followed to take someone's carry-on on and he started a new convo with me about how when Alan Rickman (guy who plays Snape) was in Die Hard (with short hair), he had short hair too and his friends noticed the similarity.
TL;DR - I ran into Snape Air at LGA and he is awesome.

I'm starting to think Alan Rickaman just does two jobs, but is ashamed of it

I am really curious as to what its like meeting a Snape with an american accent?
coolgrnmen
Really, really confusing. I kept expecting Snape's voice and it was decidedly not.
TJmuthafuckinDetweilers
what if it actually is Alan Rickman and he is just too ashamed to admit that he also works at an airport
bobsheadthreateningly
Are implying there's something shameful about working at an airport? Are ya? HUH? HUUUUH?? /jk
lilabean
Id have gotten a picture with him looking disapproving.
PX213
So this guy just copies Alan Rickman's hairstyles? Would love to have seen him when Galaxy Quest came out.
benhhhamin
As someone who regularly flies out of LGA, now I know to be on the lookout. :p
coolgrnmen
Yes! American Airlines, Term D.
revenantape
looks like he works with jackie chiles, the lawyer from seinfeld. http://youtu.be/jpcEietIoxk
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
My thoughts exactly :D
techonokios
Wait... that's not Alan Rickman?
1AMTHEBATMAN
I took me re-reading some of these comments to figure that out. I was so confused why Alan Rickman was working for American Airlines!
TiffanyAching
I would so fly Snape Air
Kickey
Plot twist: Snape faked his own death and is now living peaceful muggle life.
welcomestranger
If he was all cool with his meme-fame, you should have gotten a proper photo of him OP!
coolgrnmen
I KNOW!!! My g/f wouldn't let me ask him initially because she was all "what if he doesn't like his fame" - hence, the creep-shots. (1/2)
coolgrnmen
BUT...I regret not getting a photo with him after realizing he was a cool guy and enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll see him again sometime. (2/2)
welcomestranger
You'll just have to make another trip to Miami and tell him that Imgur sent you! :)
thisisnotdog
You probably could have gotten a non-candid photo with him if you just asked, since he's cool and everything.
coolgrnmen
Yeah...I could have. But my g/f didn't want me to initially since he might not like the fame. I respected her wishes...kinda.

Were you on Flight 394?
BurezFolf
i see what you did there

I don't, what'd he do?!

"Turn to page 394"
arghnard
Funniest creepshot I've ever seen.
Mickstack
I live with the poster and he did not tell me he saw this...
coolgrnmen
lol. "I can verify this" now that you won't reap upvotes.... Mwahahahaha
Chillbert
You should have gotten your friends and dressed up as the Potter puppets and sang to him "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.. (DUMBLEDORE!)"
coolgrnmen
I agree...I should have done that.

Snapes on a plane
mzamurman
Who downvotes this? How do I downvote the person who downvotes snapes on a plane
thisusernamehasalreadybeentaken
I like to read this as its grammatically written (not Snape's/Snape is on a plane) but rather multiple little snapes on one plane

Alan Rickman really researches his roles, his new role see's him hijack a plane posing as a flight attendant
motzgogh
It's called Passenger 58 and will also feature Wesley Snape... Um. Snipes now that he's out of prison.

"Where do you think you're flying, miss Granger?"
GingerTheBeard
"sit in row...394."
coolgrnmen
lol
ThomYorkesLazyEye
Secretly taking pictures of a man just trying to do his job? You're just as arrogant as your father.
1AMTHEBATMAN
at first I was like "You are one of those guys who takes offense to everything!" then I read the second half and laughed
ThomYorkesLazyEye
I find this offensive.
coolgrnmen
I...I wanted to downvote you...but I got the reference and snickered. UPVOTE.
ThomYorkesLazyEye
I'll assume that since I'm still on 1point that others didn't get the reference. Ah well.
coolgrnmen
I can do my best to offset it by upvoting this comment. ;-)
rockingmymuskokadinnerjacket
I hope he also has Alan Rickman's voice. I wouldn't be able to deal with the disappointment I'd feel if he has, you know, a normal voice.
DoogieHowitzerMD
That definitely is a creeper photo...made me cringe
thecompanion
When is it MY turn to run into an internet celebrity??
coolgrnmen
RIGHT? I must say...it took me a good 15 min. before I was like "lol...that guy looks like Snape...OMG" and looked up Air Snape to confirm.
thecompanion
One day....one day that will happen to me
honkaholic
Last night, I got off the plane at Heathrow to see him holding a wheelchair. In my sleep deprived state, all I could do was squeak at him.
coolgrnmen
Alan Rickman? That's awesome...did he squeak back?
honkaholic
I hope it was the real deal, but it was most likely his alter-ego. I'm pretty sure he thought it was one of the many, many kids who squeaked
nevermindthecheesecake
You look like overly attached girlfriends brother.
coolgrnmen
Oh bajeesus...well...she's pretty cool IRL... so whatevs. lol
AndrewTheNameless
He also kind of looks like Neil Gaiman.
Wazza09
Super subtle photo bro. Nice.
laestrella
He looks so happy lol
coolgrnmen
I was just smiling cause I was heading to Miami for a cruise! lol
legacyweaver
That black dude looks like he was pulled out of a bad 80's movie.
Abso
Or a REALLY bad 90s movie.
blublaster
Can't tell if racist, or just stupid comment.
legacyweaver
Neither, it obviously just went over your head.
blublaster
I am guessing you're right.
Wazza09
Or fresh prince of bell air
Bitgamer
Not a lot of people get the chance to meet a meme, you fall in the better percentage.
iknowimgoingtobeacrazycatlady
I am so upset. I just flew to Miami out of Newark. I flew American Airlines too. I've missed my chance.
jevausie
I fall in the even rarer percentage of having banged someone who later became a meme. Yeahhh that's as awkward as it sounds.
Ohthefeelsyoucanfeel
You can't say something like this and then not tell us who!
OrangeSorcerer
Hmm... Bad Luck Brian would make it pretty awkward anyway.
jevausie
And for the record, it is decidedly NOT Snape airline dude!
enchantedpancakes
OK you kinda have to name them now. Was it Confession Bear??
jevausie
Shan't name him! But wasn't Confession Bear, I dislike him & only once gave him a reach-around in a dark alley thinking he was insanity wolf
PrincessMerida
Is this going to be like the safe post? You have to tell us! You can't just say you slept with a meme and then refuse to tell. First letter?
Gnoevoet
No, it is Patrick.
coolgrnmen
I, too, wish to know this information...
jevausie
OP, given that you have met Snape Airline dude and have shared that experience with us... message me and I shall tell you!
topoftheforts
who? WHO? we wanna know. NOW
jevausie
I'll give you a hint: he has been compared to a certain character from Lord Of The Rings...
FirefighterCaboose
Please let it be OAG...please let it be OAG
jevausie
I am a chick who likes dudes, so no, it was not OAG haha
SryTyler
So who was it?
coolgrnmen
Personally...I think it would be awesome if American Airlines took advantage of the Meme and gave him credit! Somehow...
MC182
but seriously...does he sound like Alan Rickman?
TheDrunkLord
wait... LGA? I use LGA all the time, I will look for him
AdorableEvil
"Snape didn't die, he went into hiding in the Muggle world. Come fly American Airlines and meet him!"
willchangeusernamelater
Now he died...
anntike
Like give him a broomstick for one man flight services.
carolinaj
I know the post is important and all, but Dawww, OP, you are super cute. Your smile is adorable. :) Congratulations on your handsomeness. :P
coolgrnmen
Haha. Thanks Carolina. I just graduated from law school and am heading on a cruise...and I met him. THis all explains my super-smile.
carolinaj
Whaaaat how long ago does the world have a new lawyer?? CONGRATULATIONS :D this may suit you right now :P
