2026 Qantas Preflight Safety Video

New video on QF 172 WLG-MEL today, whereas old video on QF 173 MEL-WLG two days ago.

* Same aircraft VH-VZZ according to Flighty.

For me, I applaud safety videos focussed on just communicating safety, rather than incorporating all sorts of extraneous elements (celebrities, clandestine airline or destination marketing, ludicrous reconstructions of aircraft scenarios in locations other than aircraft, inclusiveness sops to airline employees etc) which do nothing other than cause airlines to spend unnecessary money on production rather than on actual safe flying.

As pared down as this is to previous QF efforts, it still blows me away how Japanese carriers like JAL manage to effectively cover all the required message in TWO languages in videos about as long as this new QF one:
Yes I think QF safety video should have two subtitles (English and other language) when they are flying to the oversea destinations. Eg fly between SYD and Santiago - it shows English and Spanish subtitles.
 
The AI passengers are a bit weird, but at least the action is squarely on the demonstration crew member.
Was it just me, or are they very 'American' looking (??).

Also - it's all in the Economy cabin - very contrasting to the last video and the bird in Paris prancing around.
