Why Aren’t All Flight Safety Videos This Awesome?



Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Jessica Gomes, Chrissy Teigen, Hannah Davis and Ariel Meredith lay out the flight safety rules for Air New Zealand. Since this video is also meant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sports Illustrated‘s Swimsuit Edition, they’ve even incorporated the legendary Christie Brinkley, who is looking pretty darn good at 60 years old (thanks to Chuck Norris and the Total Gym).

  1. Hubby just said if they were the flight attendants, he would get on a plane! :o)

  2. This is great (and I am a 66 year old woman) - I flew Air New Zealand last month, and the safety film was a hoot with all the Hobbit folks dressed up in civvies. I love the sense of humor that goes along with some really hot looking....scenery....

    1. :) That must have been fun. Thanks. I wanted to visit New Zealand when I was in Australia, but never made it.

    2. Air New Zealand is wonderful- the flight attendants are awesome - but there was no way I could make a 15 hour flight tolerable - New Zealand is gorgeous, nothing like Australia, so hope you get there some day.

    3. 15 hour flight tolerable

      :) My first trip to Vietnam was 28 hours and I have been there and back a total of about 10 times, but I still have trouble sleeping! :)

  3. Wow - I guess I am a wimp (
    I had trouble sleeping, too- wanted to get up as much as I could so that this old lady wouldn't get blood clots in my legs.

    1. There were a few times in the early nineties where the plane was empty enough, so I could use four chairs for a bed and that way I was able to get some sleep. Of course, if you're rich you can get a real bed.:)

  4. So, I need to revise my flight time - I took off from Detroit on that day in January when the ice storms hit all over the Northeast and everything was getting cancelled. Had everything gone right, counting from Detroit to Wellington, my flight time was 22 hours. So, I am not as big a wimp as I originally thought ;o) Those real beds looked fabulous. I was just happy not to have anyone in front of me back in the cattle car - my standards have gotten pretty low when it comes to flying these days.

    1. There you go! I had a friend once who gave me a pill and said if I took it I would be out like a light and I might as well have taken an aspirin. :)

  5. me, too - just sat there staring at the "You are here" map - at least I knew when I was over the equator and then over the Int'l dateline - pretty cool.
    I love your blog - learned about it over at BadEagle. Don't think, Dr. Y is doing very well right now.

    1. Yes, he hasn't posted in a while. Certainly hope he makes it as we will lose a brilliant individual if we don't. Thanks for letting me know.
