Future tense?

Please help me to feel the difference between two sentences: 1. Sit down and fasten your seat belt. We'll take off in a few minutes 2. Sit down and fasten your seat belt. We'll be taking off in a few minutes As I understood it, the 2nd sentence = We are taking off in a few minutes. But what is the difference in the 1st? In Murphy's Grammabook i've read that we may use "we will do" in such cases: 1. spontaneous decision 2. If we offer, agree, promise or ask 3. If we predict the future. I wonder which case is here? Or here is just my misunderstanding of gramma? PS. if you see are any mistakes in any my posts, please tell me )))
