Virgin America adds a little humor to safety video

by Catherine Bodry (RSS feed) on Nov 29th 2007 at 9:30AM

Do you pay attention to flight safety presentations? I rarely do, except when I'm right in front of the flight attendant and I don't want to be rude. As a teacher, I know how difficult it is to be up in front of a lot of people who really could care less. But the safety videos? As if. I'm all about the in-flight mag and my ~~Asia-purchased Valium~~ melatonin before the plane even takes off.

But Virgin America's new safety animation grabbed my attention -- and held it. All the usual safety information is included, but the airline makes the whole 4-minute presentation a bit more palatable. Watch it and let us know what you think!

This pleasing video will grab everyone's attention.
It's humourous, cartoon like, and easy to understand... even for youngsters. A pretty face is great, but paying attention to safety matters is more important.

I love this video....could even show it to people who haven't flown before as a preparation for their first trip.

now that i've watched it before the flight, does this mean i can ignore the video when i first get on the plane?

I am flying them in January because our friends just raved about the airline. Why does a Brit owning it, a German running it, do so much better than the American carrier's? You got me, our know how is slowly giving way to OTHERS, sad to say
