This is beyond hilarious. When I saw the description I asked myself how funny it could really be, though it’s possibly the funniest (and truest) 50 second video ever.

Check out this Finnair flight attendant flashmob in their crew base. Admittedly it might have been a bit more interesting if there were more than five people in the “audience” (I’d love to see them do this in the terminal), though it was cool nonetheless.

Hey, that’s certainly one way to quit

Gadling has a pretty cool video about how meals are prepared on American 767-300s, both for business class passengers and the pilots. Check it out here:

Very cool to get an inside look into how it’s done.

Virgin America has a pretty interesting new ad campaign whereby they have two twins fly the same route separately, one on Virgin America and one on the competition. Check out the videos below:

On one hand it’s a “cute” concept since Virgin America does offer a unique product that differentiates them from the competition, though the things they focus on are a bit deceiving, in my opinion. Complaining about the temperature on other airlines and that the movie “broke?” Talking about how great the “meals” are on Virgin America and that you can order anything you want off the menu without mentioning there’s a cost? Just seems they could have put more focus on the things that set Virgin America apart as opposed to ripping the competition, given that this seems pretty scripted to me.

Anyway, cute concept and I certainly had a few laughs (not sure if it was with the actors or at the actors, though).

What do y’all think?

Cathay Pacific has long had advertising campaigns that showcase the lives of their employees. They were going to launch an ad campaign last month, which was supposed to be entitled “meet the team that goes the extra mile.” Unfortunately due to the scandal involving a Cathay Pacific pilot receiving oral sex in the cockpit they had to delay it. In the meantime they simply renamed the ad campaign to “People. They make an airline.”

Anyway, check out the four ads below:

I really like the ads. I can’t say they’re necessarily all that effective since they don’t really showcase any cutting edge product or call for action on the part of the consumer, though they sure are “feel good.”

American sent out an email today to AAdvantage members with a video message from Maya Leibman, the President of AAdvantage. If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out here.

Mildly cheesy? Of course. But I love the humor and the fact that she’s putting her personality into it, not something you often see from executives at legacy airlines.

Thoughts? Love it? Hate it?

No matter where in the world you’re clearing security, this video is pretty spot on!
