2026 Qantas Preflight Safety Video

I think they're human actors too.

Hope so, the VN video throws me out every time the AI English translation uses the term "cabin crew requirement"

I particularly like the part that shows an evacuation with passengers standing up and leaving without baggage.

There is a $16500 fine in Australia (similar in other jurisdictions) for failing to comply with cabin crew instructions or endangering safety but I dont think anyone has ever been prosecuted by any jurisdiction for taking baggage down a evacuation slide.

It is the one aspect of safety briefing/reports that has never been enforced.
Until it is people are going to continue ignoring it.
A law is not a law if it is not enforced.

Maybe there should be an explicit law regarding taking baggage down evacuation slides. I suspect the legislators are not keen.....

Saw it last night on way home from NZ.

Shorter sharper and nice tone.

Much prefer it.

Surely we could add some dramatic flair like the new PR one

Couple of observations on the new QF video… I would probably have shown the seatbelts fastened across the waist and hips rather than across the navel. And ‘do what our crew do’ for the slides… they show them sitting at the top of the slide rather than jumping. Although I suspect in an emergency people won’t have much of an opportunity to calmly sit!

Otherwise a refreshing change for short, sharp and simple.

Although I miss the ‘retro’ demo… ‘smoking is prohibited at all times, including e-cigarettes…. whatever they are!’

On a side note - maybe milehighclub can answer whether this has been considered? - the positioning of crew for the safety demo on the 737 makes it really hard for folk right at the back to see! I get they want crew at the overwing exit, but that means if you’re in the last couple of rows you’re up to 16 rows away from the demo! You can’t see, for example, how to tie or secure the life jacket.
