Bridgerton fan? Taketh a look at British Airways’ new safety video

Are you a fan of the historical romance TV series Bridgerton, or just bored with staid, straightforward airline safety videos?

Then taketh a look at this new genre entry from British Airways titled May We Haveth One’s Attention.

The charming, entertaining and, most importantly, educational, video is a wee bit over 5 minutes long and features more than 40 British Airlines staff. The video will run on the airline’s long-haul flights starting August 1 – but you can enjoy it right here.

And while we’re on the topic of safety videos, let’s take a moment to remember fitness instructor, TV personality and imp, Richard Simmons who starred in this Air New Zealand “Fit to Fly” safety video more than a dozen years ago.

Take a look and let me know what special touches you notice.
