"We are serving you alcohol while in the air on what flying should be"? Nope.

"Our booze is served during the journey on what flying should be"? Nuh-uh.

"Look how high our drinks are on what flying should be"? Noooooo.

maybe there is a giant immobilizing metal bar resting on one of their planes and "what flying should be" is yodaspeak for "what should be flying"

it makes sense, but it's pretty corny... reminds me of some bad pun Bob Saget would use on America's Funniest Home Videos. i read it like "we're literally raising the bar! on what flying should be". cue goofy music and canned audience laughter as a drunk passenger stumbles around and vomits on an old lady.

The thing is that when I hear the world 'literally' used like this in the wild, person is nearly always saying something enthusiastic, impressed, excited or good humoured

i thought this was a good one. there is a hotel in boston whose restaurant is called the ruby room, and suitably the decor is all red. the section for corporate events is headed:

Meetings that will have you seeing red. Well, not literally.

so precisely and completely wrong, really an accomplishment

Palm trees, ivory beaches and a languid lifestyle: to outsiders, the South Pacific lives up to its paradise image. But the islanders themselves are weighed down by problems – literally. The region has the world's highest obesity rates, along with associated chronic diseases.

The misuse of "literally" is most often an attempt at hyperbole, in the mistaken belief that overstating the truth makes one's misstatements stronger and more persuasive.
