There are some passengers who get off the plane all dazed and limp because of the ordeal they have undergone. The flight, though it may not be uneventful, may be stressful because of the initial fear that the passenger has prior to the flight. There are really some who dread flying because of previous bad experiences on the plane. Who could really blame them? Flying by plane takes you thousands of miles up in the air, with only the wings of the plane keeping it from plunging down to the ground.
A great number of plane accidents have been reported every now and then and these reports have added more fear to some people who are flying. As such, more and more people choose traveling by land or water as more safe and convenient for them. However, if it cannot be helped, people turn to traveling by plane and endure the whole experience.
There have been latest reports swirling about in travel and tourism news that an airline in the Philippines has found a way to somehow alleviate the boredom or fear of flying for some people. Flight attendants of Cebu Pacific Airlines have found an innovative and more entertaining way of presenting the airline’s in-flight safety demonstrations. By dancing to the tunes of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry’s music, the attendants have added spice to the airline safety demos by doing a choreographed dance.
Initially intended as an experiment, the dance performance has begun to make news. A passenger happened to capture the dance on the camera-phone and started spreading it around. It has now become big news, showing that the flight attendants are not just good at serving drinks and snacks but that they are good in dancing as well.
Cebu Pacific Airlines first captured the people’s attention as a low cost airline, and it has been improving its services since then. They have already gained popularity in doing things the unconventional way in making their flights enjoyable and memorable for the passengers. The dance demo is another unique concept from the airline. The flight attendants broke into a choreographed dance and started teaching the passengers how to handle the seatbelts, life jackets, and where to find the emergency exits should something go wrong during the flight.
The flight attendants moved to the beat of popular songs California Gurls and Just Dance. Shock first registered on the passengers’ faces as they were taken by surprise of the sudden unexpected event. However, they quickly recovered and started enjoying the performance. They even broke into a round of applause after the flight attendants have completed their dance.
The performance was given during the middle of the flight, after the seat-belt sign has been turned off. There was also a standard safety demonstration that was given at the start of the flight. There has been a positive response from the people regarding this new idea from the airline. Reports have shown that people liked the performance and are looking forward to another experience when they take the next flight.
It is suggested that more airlines should start taking note of this new idea for it has wrought an overwhelming response. It was further implied that it could be more beneficial to the passengers because they will be more attentive during the demonstration. If passengers listen up rather than act indifferent because of fear or worries, they will be more prepared in the event of an emergency.
From this performance, other new ideas to improve the services of the airline are expected in the days to come. The effects proved to be promising and this may just be a start of a new trend in airline services.
