I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If you want passengers to pay attention to the safety demonstration, give them something they’ll want to pay attention to. Air New Zealand understands this with their very catchy safety videos, but now you can add Cebu Pacific to the list, with their live safety demos, featuring the flight attendants dancing to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry:

Now, for several reasons, I’m not suggesting flight attendants for US airlines do the same (I’ll leave my reasoning to your imagination), but for an airline like Cebu Pacific, this is brilliant.

I'm with you Lucky.....anything to get people to pay more attention during the safety briefings is a good thing. I'm really tired of people continuing their conversations (and getting louder to be heard OVER the briefing) holding up their newspapers, etc during the briefings. I know most of us can recite these things in our sleep but I consider it rude NOT to at least appear to listen.

There is absolutely nothing demeaning about the way she dances. She follows the beat of the music very well and probably goes dancing on her days off. This is youth, folks. If you don't like it you can look at the safety brochure or out the window.

An excellent find, and it's a way to engage with the passengers onboard. I'm with you lucky on this, the safety demo on some airlines can be dry as cardboard and you'll either 1) falling asleep or 2) not paying attention. Both deadly in an emergency situation even if you have your own internal checklist (for example first things I check whenever I get to my seat is where is the life jacket and a row count to the nearest back and forward exit) Therefore I welcome vids and demos like this. Or maybe some people would prefer our good friend "Pam Ann" to conduct the safety briefing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbAO2z22bas ;)
