Lisbon airport brings some Christmas joy - flashmob style!

by Scott Carmichael (RSS feed) on Dec 27th 2009 at 6:30PM

Christmas time at the airport is usually a time of doom, gloom, pushing and waiting in line. Portuguese airline TAP and the Portuguese Airport Authority decided to spice things up at Lisbon airport with a massive dance and music show. Bonus points for spotting the dancing Santa.

Watch for yourself, and see the joy this brought to the passengers. How do you think this would go down at your local airport? Would the TSA have the happy people shot, or just tasered?

(Thanks Rita!)

Being a frequent traveller from Lisbon's airport, I know that this show would have made my trip and all the waiting at the airport a lot more fun. It even made me dance in the living room :)

I'm American and currently live in Seoul. This would have been great here, perhaps the police would've stopped the festivities. In America, with all the so-called "security" it would not have been a good idea. Perhaps we should all dance in line, now that would be fun!

Ciao!
