The only similar thing I ever saw was on a Philippines Airlines flight from Davao City to Manila in the 80s.

A stunning glossy-haired flight attendant with a smile that could light up a 747 turned the safety drill into a dance, with graceful gestures and spectacular flourishes.

It was the only time I ever saw a safety drill get a round of applause – it could easily have been a standing ovation if it weren’t for the seat belts.

Slightly related, if you wonder what stories flight attendants have to tell:

Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase is a podcast by Betty, a flight attendant for an unnamed airline. Funny, sometimes thoughtful, well produced, and contains interviews with pilots and other flight attendants as well as Betty’s own stories.

Where The Hell Is Phil?. Phil is another flight attendant who sometimes has a funny or interesting story to tell from the center of the aisle. He’s had some real zingers in the past.
