Over the years, we’ve seen airlines put an increasing amount of effort into their safety videos. In this post I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite airline safety videos, and then I’m curious to hear what safety videos you all like most.

I wish that all airlines would just give the mandated safety briefing in a quick and concise presentation. I'm tired of all the "cutesy" briefings that take 2-3x as long to present the message as can be done with an FA reading the card.
Plus the millions that they spend on making cute videos with famous people in locations around the world (in some instances) has to factor into the ticket price.
Deltalina will forever be the PREMIERE spokesperson for the universe's PREMIUM airline! Tens of millions of Delta passengers were undoubtedly forced to quit smoking after seeing a single finger wag! She needs to be canonized...NOW!!!
How about this one, from Starflyer of Japan?

Love the Delta safety video from 2008. Also love the late 90s/early 2000s version of the British Airways safety video.

I always loved the Aegean videos. The one with the different employees from the various departments was cool and the more recent one with the famous Greek basketball player was very cute. Unfortunately, they’re not showing the videos so much these days, as their neos don’t have screens unlike the older A320s.
I really don't get what's so special about the new Emirates video. Just seems like a run of the mill safety video...
I agree.
I dislike videos that are too abstract with the cabin. They should use the aircraft or something similar.
Some of these might be funny or novel the first time, but others (like that Corendon one) would have you wanting to jump out of an emergency exit, rather than have to sit through that multiple times.
The most memorable, and not in a good way, was the Qatar world cup soccer video. Every flight having to watch it in english and arabic. It was long and tiresome!
We flew Air France two weeks ago and found their current safety video (new in 2021???) highly entertaining. It consists of the standard safety messages but delivered against a background of many of France's most well known locations -- think the Opera house, Versailles and so forth. we both enjoyed recognizing as many of the locations particularly those we had been to.
And I was glad to see that you included the fabulous Toddrick Hall video for the definitely missed airline Virgin America. I flew them a lot and that safety video always entertained me.
I had the most delightful safety orientation once on a Southwest Airlines flight. The flight attendant who announced it did a hilarious comedy routine while covering the information. I listened attentively that time!
