Flight Attendants/Lady GaGa/Katy Perry Mash Up During Safety Announcement
A trio of comely flight attendants on Philippines-based Cebu Pacific Airlines danced their way through the customary pre-flight safety announcement, a performance captured on videotape that some think was a plant by the airline for PR purposes.
As the Lady GaGa hit "Just Dance" played, the flight attendants demonstrated how to use a seat belt. They danced to Katy Perry's "California Girls" while demonstrating proper use of an oxygen mask.
Some suspect the airline planted wthe video that quickly went viral on YouTube. Even though the film looks like it was shot by an amateur, one wonders how the photographer--who wrote that he (or she) was surprised when the flight attendants began to shimmy--knew to cue the camera to begin just as the show began.
Regardless, hundreds of thousands of folks who've never heard of Cebu Pacific now have, and you can bet if there's ever a "Dancing With the Stars" for flight attendants, Cebu Pacific's women have an early lead in the popular voting.

will they dance to 'telephone' next? that can be used to tell passengers to turn off their phones while on the flight.

Who said flying can’t be fun? During a demonstration of how to use seat belts and life jackets, cabin crew on-board a Cebu Pacific Airlines flight danced to pop hits California Gurls and Just Dance.Read it somewhere.

Ha! I'd fly more if flight attendants were always that entertaining!

I've flown Cebu Pacific a number of times and like the airline a lot. Most importantly their fares are very reasonable with extras if you want to ease the check-in process and choose your seat. They also have a no baggage bonus if you just carry on.
The flights I've been on featured quizzes, birthday gifts, a karaoke contest, etc.
Can hardly wait for the dance next time I fly.

I think this is such a great idea :) People would actually pay attention to instructions lol.

Funny coincidence

The idea certainly seems entertaining, and I would be all for it if Cebu didn't use Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, whom I can't stand in normal situations, nevermind onboad of a plane...

It's a good marketing technique, for sure:) Today, we have to find tricks when you're not well known ^^ Congrat !

marketing technique is most definitely the correct term here however what a great idea to gain the attention of passengers.

This makes boring instructions a little more alive and interesting, but of course, it is not very professional. It is a bit similar to the Russian meteo girls removing their cloths during the weather forecast. :)

Well I for one would be happy to see all the airlines pick up on this new marketing technique, I believe it would make most people smile, but am sure there will be those that will complain also. No matter what you can't make em all happy can ya. I liked it even if it was only a PR stunt.

It would benefit my anxiety to fly greatly if I would be enteratined this way :)
