Everything Is Awesome in Turkish Airlines’ Safety Video

/

Earlier this month, a hip new in-flight safety video hit the internet like a ton of bricks.

Our colleague Karen Walker at Air Transport World compares it to other safety videos. Although she thinks simple safety briefings are better, especially for business travelers, the Lego video and the others she mentions are worth a watch.
