While I had seen Air New Zealand’s brilliant “nothing to hide” commercials, I hadn’t seen their new “bare essentials” safety video. Check it out:

I’m not sure whether this is a good way to get people to pay attention to the safety video, or whether it’s just a bit too distracting….

Once again, this video is totally NSFW and potentially offensive, but it’s quite funny, mainly because so many of the points are accurate. Check it out.

I saw this video posted on FlyerTalk, and found it to be quite informative (and entertaining). On the informative front, it talks about all the fancy things that keypad near the flight deck can (or for that matter can’t) do. Check it out:

On the entertaining side of things, is this really the best they could [...]

Swiss finally released their short film today which they’ve been advertising for weeks. It’s directed by Mark Forsters, and I kind of had high hopes. I love when companies make abstract movies that are only somewhat related to their products. Take BMW for example. Their Rampenfest movie was absolutely brilliant, in my book. If you have 35 minutes [...]

Reader Mitch sends in the following video he took a couple of weeks ago about the “swine flu check” upon landing at Narita. I’m pretty sure I would die of laughter and couldn’t contain myself, even when they’re standing right in front of me.

I just saw this “behind the scenes” Travelzoo video, and learned a few new things. I had no clue what a huge operation the weekly “Top 20″ list was. I figured it was just one nerd at a computer publishing all this, not teams in five different offices.

This SAS commercial is brilliant, in my opinion. It says so little, yet says so much.

Since contract negotiations are coming up for United’s flight attendants, the AFA has released a video about their “demands.” I was shocked when I saw that a flight attendant I had an “issue” with was in the video, so imagine my surprise today when I flew with one of the flight attendants in this video without [...]

Some frequent travelers avoid Southwest because of their onboard humor, which I can understand to a certain extent, especially for those that fly 100+ segments a year. While the normal set of jokes can get old, I think this flight attendant rap is hilarious (and extremely well done):
