Qantas Safety Video 2024

Introducing the new onboard safety video featuring front line team members and Frequent Flyers taking viewers on a journey through key safety information from some of the most unique destinations in Australia and around the world.

[@ronaldsimmons7316]

After watching that for over 9 minutes, I was looking for the escape slide!

[@EAP_7]

This is the extend video, qantas should of said that, the real one is way shorter

[@justinerugers7430]

Still boring, it’s not going to hold people’s attention, even if it was half the length if this video

​@@whateveriam12 woww how did u get hold of tht unlisted link?

[@pixiebrown1959]

Nothing will beat the old video that took us through the evolution of Qantas. We could connect to that and it was engaging - isn’t that the purpose of such a video? This is convoluted, confusing and features other countries and mainly people who have Left Australia. Luckily I fly a lot, otherwise I would have no idea of the safely features as 9.5 minutes is tedious and is more like a short film about expats than safety information. I can’t imagine how much money was spent on the production of this epic, but you’ve missed the mark in my opinion. Take a look at Singapore Airlines safety video for the gold standard.

[@northernriverstransportvlogs]

I can tell you pricing just for the ferry scene towards the end was probably over $1,500/hour and they hired the ferry for about 5 hours in mid 2023.

[@westf.793]

Exactly, that is why Singapore Airlines is crowned the best airlines consecutively for many years, it's sad to see so much money spent just to develop such visually appealing yet insignificant frame.

[@electro_sykes]

thats the whole point, encourage australians that our country is boring and we should leave, by paying shit load]s to fly Qantas who have been given the most slots and are often the only option

[@jr800w]

Yep It would probably resonate with actual Australians but I wonder how much of this airline is still considered Australian.

[@arphdsss]

​@@westf.793Japan Airlines safety video is my favourite

[@camomiletea6708]

It’s way too long and the safety message gets lost in the advertisement and the subliminal messaging Qantas loves. Passengers will not be able to maintain attention for almost 10 minutes. The JAL airlines accident is a lesson; well trained cabin crew and well briefed passengers on what’s required in an evacuation.

[@BronetteMinelli]

Totally agree. It's an advertorial, not a safety rundown

[@tizzydizzy1]

Sorry Qantas, this is not a safety video. I lost interest after 3 minutes

[@johnotheavgeek5925]

The onboard version is significantly shorter and cut down to around 4 minutes. This is the longer public version.

[@petermcdonald3007]

@@BronetteMinelli Certainly an advertorial if not quite adversarial.

[@MonstaAU]

@@petermcdonald3007 I'd call 9 minutes adversarial.

[@seengame7681]

Given the recent incident involving JAL at Haneda, I had a look at their safety video. It’s HALF the length of this one, bilingual, and clearly showed what you needed to do (and what might happen if you don’t). I’m convinced that JAL’s concise and to-the-point safety video contributed to a successful evacuation without anyone holding up the cabin taking out luggage. Sadly with this video it’s so long and indirect I fear people will tune out after the first minute, especially regular fliers.

[@AlfAllen-pv4kn]

Totally agree 7681! QF have learnt nothing from JAL's incredibly successful evacuation. This has 'Alan Joyce' all over it. Same old, same old. Such a lost opportunity to 'reset'!

[@delightfullyyummy]

Perhaps the unpopular opinion for the moment, but the idea of having this kind of safety video is to get the audience engaged. Passengers often ignore generic safety videos. They're on their phone, computer, or otherwise mentally not present. That's why you have most major airlines (Singapore, Malaysian, British, Air NZ, Qantas) try and make something that people will pay attention to. I do agree this one is very long though, which may result in it having the opposite effect. There needs to be a balance. FYI the Qantas one is bilingual on flights to certain destinations.

[@johnotheavgeek5925]

The onboard version is more concise and cut down to around 4 minutes to the core measages. This is the longer PR edition of the video

[@louisepaisley5632]

As per usual Qantas Safety Videos, there are 75 versions of the video, covering each different aircraft type in 12 language translations. The video is shortened when onboard and relates to the aircraft you are flying on and the language designated for that flight.

[@YokohamaRailway]

I think greater if they add the ''line drawings'' about safety in all parts, that like Icelandair safety video.

[@brianvogt8125]

This is primarily a tourism promotion. The safety training is unchanged since my flights during 1989-1991 with Olympic Airlines, British Airways & Singapore Airlines. It takes less than 1 minute to present.

[@Angus-ip3ve]

totally agree but what tourism are they promoting? Seems Sydney is the only city in existence in Aus - according to the video.

[@brianvogt8125]

@@Angus-ip3ve I think the objective is generally to encourage people to travel with Qantas. Look at what you're missing. Sydney is in there only for the warm, fuzzy feelings of Sydney-siders. I'm in Adelaide, originally from a farm, so the Sydney bit went through to the wicket keeper.

Agree with the comments about it being too long. It’s an ad. So, there’s a red tag on the safety vest. How cool! What’s it for? (I know, others may know, but not everyone knows.)

[@Spacegamer45334]

The video was too long that I missed the safety vest one cause I lacked off.

[@lukemonyt]

The one played in the aircraft is significantly shorter

[@scibbo3966]

I fail to see how this is a safety video. The safety message and what is required as a passenger is hidden behind all the marketing about your flight destinations like an old episode of Getaway on channel 9.

[@user-se2ot3ih7b]

The video is visually magnificent and must have cost a fortune to create, which I personally censure for the following reason. Given Qantas's recent shameful (bordering on fraudulent) treatment of its frequent flyer customers and Alan Joyce feathering his nest during this contentious period, the video smacks of smoke and mirrors. I was one of Qantas's victims, losing a significant amount of frequent flyer points during the Covid epidemic when it was impossible to travel. All attempts to reach them and redress my complaint were totally ignored. Also the actual safety directives are lost in this too long but captivating video.

[@lundimardi1975]

Cheaper than dragging an entire children's choir around the world, surely!

[@northernriverstransportvlogs]

@@lundimardi1975 Trust me, just one scene cost close to $10,000 to produce I believe. The ferry scene, although local, was very costly. They hired the Freshwater, the harbour's biggest and oldest ferry which costs quite a lot to operate. They chartered the vessel for about 4-6 hours in June 2023 in the afternoon and sailed it in loops of the main harbour all for that one shot.

[@casey5684]

They did make sure to exclude people with disability aids from the advertisement*, just like in real life - 10/10 for accuracy 🙌🙌🙌 *safety video

[@camomiletea6708]

Qantas have advised that this is the online 10 minute version and the onboard version will be more condensed, though I’ll be interested to see how. I’m not sure featuring destinations that Qantas does not and is never likely to fly to is relevant; Mexico, Finland, Morocco. I’m not sure who signed off on this, but if this is the extent of Todd Sampsons contribution at a board level…….

[@petermcdonald3007]

You can bet the opening 30 seconds of virtue-signalling will be retained along with the inevitable "Acknowledgement" at the end.

[@IconOTS]

I believe, they will remove the first parts that don’t have anything to do with the safety demo, and shorten/remove the other dialogue and scenes that aren’t related.

[@galaxyruin]

It's feels even longer in flight

[@infinityair559]

The good thing here is Nestor!! He’s the best lounge attendant

[@danielayto4120]

[@isaacmacdonald6530]

Amazing work! This video is one that will make me feel safe whenever I fly Qantas.

[@ProuvaireJean]

I always prefer safety videos that feature staff rather than celebrities, and including customers is an interesting idea, but 10 minutes is way, way, way too long.

[@Angus-ip3ve]

absolutely - its way too long and frankly it is boring and the safety aspect is lost

[@Dillixx]

@Angus-ip3ve Agreed. While it's nice that they have a new safety video, it has 1 minute worth of safety related stuff, really. I didn't find this one too good either in terms of quality it's really dipped down.

[@tonybedorulz]

The length is normal when the aircraft is taxing something it could take 5 mins and sometimes 15 mins .... when onboard you don't even notice while you taxi.

[@noxiakun]

this can be counted on the evolution of Qantas. it is the most epic safety video ever like linking with the world.

[@Sheraton693]

Is the waterfall the escape slide?

[@developmentalplaytherapy2061]

In addition to information on DVT in the flight magazine, something on more frequently encountered ear problems, and how to manage blocked ears, would be helpful.

Nice to see Nestor from SYD First Class lounge included and looking cool in L.A.

[@Sean-me4fv]

This is a stunning and beautiful production, but sadly you have buried the safety information in amongst lots of other information that looks like a TV show or movie. You are showing the life jacket on a boat? The information should be given in a clear and concise manner. This requires our attention for almost 10 whole minutes, and only a third of that is safety information. You didn't show how taking luggage can destroy the evacuation slide and block the access.

[@oceania_aviaiton6580]

Don’t you think 10 mins is a bit long for a safety video? You should be on the runway by then.

[@Matthew_M11]

this is not the in-flight version

[@Pies.]

What happens when the pushback and taxi for the aircraft is less than 10 minutes? you just wait on the taxiway until it finishes? also I think you forgot the safety part of the video. It is entertaining for sure though

[@typicaly506]

I guess is long enough for the business passengers to finish their nuts and champagne that's where the magical place is lol

[@drdodz]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@xaviersalce3170]

I actually like this video. I definitely was wondering when all the safety information was coming and I got lost in the middle but in the end thought it was a fun and unique way to produce such a flight safety video

[@CaptainWolfWarriorStudios]

I always wanted to visit Australia, one of the main reasons why is go tho Australia Zoo in Beerwah, home of the Irwin family. I would love to visit there someday. :)

[@FTTravelstyle]

Due to the length of our safety video, we now have lost our takeoff slot. We will be taxiing back to the gate and wait for a new one. We may miss it again as we have to replay our safety video before we re-taxi out. Thank you for flying with us…..we will eventually, we promise 😂.

[@ianwaddington4532]

Did I just hear the pilot at the end of the video say we hope your trip is a safe one and we hope you get to your place again? I certainly hope it's safe and I also want to get to my place again !! Magic or not !! I wouldn't want the hear the pilot announce this to everyone just as we're about to take off !!

[@PremiereEntertainment]

I regret to say that i'm a little disappointed. This safety vid lacks in comparison to the 17, 18 and 19 ones. Its a cool concept, but it just lacks a consistent vibe throughout, the music is boring and the vid does not really climax anywhere, and, it feels less 'aussie' compared to the other ones. Wheres the iconic "g'day, and welcome to qantas"? Whilst previous vids I would proudly say were best in the industry by far, I feel that this one just isn't at the level of the others. Hopefully a better one next year...

[@Dillixx]

This is released just under 2 weeks before we fly qantas for the first time. Can't wait. Time to watch Edit: Just realised how unnecessarily long this is. The video almost completely misses the safety aspect. Yes, I know it'll be much shorter on flights, but it just isn't as good as the older safety videos Qantas had to offer. It's decent though

As someone who has seen the evolution and change of the QANTAS safety video over the years, this one unfortunately does not make it onto my favourite list. Whilst I do respect what QANTAS are trying to get across by showing people of a diverse backgrounds and showing off different destinations the primary purpose of this video being about safety is lost and way to hard to follow. Bring back the previous QANTAS safety video celebrating 100 years was perfect and on point.

While beautiful to look at, the message is lost in the destinations and people’s stories. Are we trying to be too inclusive and not regular Australian in our safety message.
