Airlines Getting Creative With Pre-Flight Safety Videos
Airlines have developed a suspicion - from where, we have no idea - that we passengers aren't really listening to their pre-flight safety instructions. Apparently they feel that their prerecorded soliloquies about emergency doors and water landings are being adhered to with something less than rapt attention.
In response, they're going out of their way to get passenger eyeballs onto video monitors. Virgin America changed up the game first with their cartoon safety instruction video which has tongue-in-cheek humor and shows a cute girl with a bad nicotine habit and a nun that is more plugged in than a 13-year-old boy.
And how could we forget Deltalina? In fact, we really wish we could forget the image of her botoxed face telling us to put on a seatbelt.
Now, everyone of course knows about Air New Zealand's new naked safety video, which we covered while it was being produced. The final commercial is currently inching its way toward 4 million views on YouTube. Reasonably attractive but suitably everyday male and female attendants in body paint. It's viral magic.

What Has Your Southwest Flight Attendant Performed For You Lately?
You know the scene. You’re boarding the plane, trying to find a good seat while avoiding that lady who’s lifting a suitcase bigger than her into the overhead compartment. Once you’ve settled into your fixed position for the next couple hours, the safety briefing becomes the background music as you start flipping through the copy of US Weekly you scored at Hudson News. However, you may put that magazine down if you're on a Southwest Airlines flight.
Dave the Rapping Flight Attendant has taken over the forward cabin with his preflight announcement. Learning how to buckle seatbelts and pay for booze on board has never been so fun—if you want another kinda drink just holla, alcoholic beverages will be four dollars. He’s sick and tired of the same boring announcement, so he started doing his best to entertain the passengers—and himself—all in the name of safety.

Deltalina Gets Her Jaunted 'Close-Up'
We've told you about Delta Airlines' "Safety Instructor" Deltalina who appears in the safety video that airs before every flight. Here's a snapshot of the video that we took back in October. Let's just say that when you're crammed into the seats in the coach cabin and Deltalina is just inches away from your face, it's a little hard to take.
We're not against plastic surgery or anything (we've admittedly started a "Botox Fund") but Deltalina is in danger of going the way of Nikki Cox. That said, we prefer the cartoon woman trying to get a nic fix on Virgin America's safety video. Or even Larry Kellner of Continental who's snoozy video always manages to make us sleep before take-off.
