I felt it in the air.

Air New Zealand always have the best safety videos hands down.

This is the funniest video on the internet!

You can't go to New Zealand now. Not even if you are a New Zealander. Unless you have special permission from Sauron.

🤣 same 🤣

Just use ANZ -- and be surprised where you end up?

@@veramae4098 Maybe in New Zeeland

to sir peter jackson if u can't lose weight U SHALL NOT PASS!

Or more than 200 cigarettes. Going into Australia was even worse, that was one open pack and one unopened pack, the tax on anything over that is $1.10360 AUSTRALIAN per cigarette for cigarettes not exceeding 0.8 grams per ciggy. When I went they told me that Marlboros were terribly expensive so I considered bring a 90 day supply of 90 packs. That would have been just about AUS $1,980 to bring them in the country. They now have a more complex formula that is 16.5% of retail price PLUS $341 per thousand smokes. That would work out to about US $1,400. I chose not to take all those cigarettes. But once I got there I wish I had because the only Marlboros you could get were made under licence in Korea and tasted like burning newspaper, they were also $32 and change per pack, and that was Jan. 2017, now they are close to $50 per pack. I would have seriously considered permanent immigration to Australia except for this. And let it be a caution to you that the country as lovely as it is, is a major nanny state that never tells you precisely what you can and can't do, but taxes the snot out of any behaviours the government doesn't want.

@@markwalker3499 Was smoking really that integral part of your life that you couldn't move to another country because of it? :|

Do it, flying Air NZ is an experience in itself

Matthew Morison Noted. Thanks :)

Long long way

I wish i could go now but i cant cus of this stupid pandemic

Read up on what rights they are taking away at the moment. Apparently they have a dictatorship over there too.

TELL THEM WHY YOU DONT PULL THE INFLATE TAB BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PLANE !!! 😠😡🤬

@@hobbygamer6220 so you think this humorous Middle Earth safety video should say "So if the plane fills with water you aren't forced to the ceiling, unable to move down and drown in the water like Boromir did on his own blood." Personally I always found it simple to suss the why of it and considered it Darwinism at work to disregard it.

Oh hai didn't see you there...

I agree! But sorry this is how you spell it *NEW ZEALAND*

Feels nice living there.... Every month or so we take a short hours trip on this airline.

MommyandGracieShow great idea! Choose your airline based on their association with a movie franchise rather than by safety

I agree a hundred percent. I flew Air NZ in 2015 for my first visit and the cabin and flight crew were incredible. You mightn't encounter elves, hobbits or wizards on board, but the crew definitely embody the attitude of New Zealanders . Once I landed and got out of the airport I fell in love with every aspect of the country. If/when you do get to New Zealand, you simply must indulge in feijoas. They are the perfect fruit to eat there. Like the people, they can be slightly tart when under-ripe, and sweet and juicy when fully ripe. You will love the people, the food, the geography - every little aspect of the country. Oh, and if you eat seafood, you really should indulge yourself in some green-lipped mussels! Kia Ora, and I sincerely hope you get to fly this amazing airline and set your feet on my favourite place in the world!

One of the reasons why I wish to be to be from New Zealand😊

Scarlett same

@@teanahx593 You're just jealous because you belong to a country where the very money you're holding in your hands doesn't even belong to our gov.

same here

From New Zealand ????? why would you leave?????

Me too!

its lovely there

born and bred in Taranaki

+Hermione Jean Granger Didn't you send your parents there when you went off looking for horcruxes? Or was that Australia? It's been so long since I read the books.

Bombay/Pukekohe is the best m8

I don't remember that

*Air New Zealand

I am reading “There’s a Hole in My Bucket” now and came here for this video!

Lost on KZfaq

It might be nice if commercials rose to mildly intelligent.

On my last few flights before this global lockdown, was it with KLM... or British Airways, or... anyway, there was definitely humor in the flight safety movie, enough to to enjoy watching it fully a few times giggling half the time.

She's super cute.

@@deepfield23 yep

Things got way horny up there in the middle.

Whats her name tho

What movie would they pick as a theme then? there are so many....

***** hmmm... well in the UK, I think harry potter would be really cool. Ooh! and the Avengers in the US! I would love that!

capu700 yes! Your're so right! It could be Harry Potter for one airline in the UK and Doctor Who for another :) and in the US the Avengers for one Airline and for another Airline, The Justice League

capu700 By the way, i love your avatar! So awesome!

Justin Hayvice a skinny hand and a fat body

So good!😂

Was it shown in open air? Did you participate? Did it feel like a rock concert?

Well, actually, it is. Especially the people. But it takes forever to get there.

Yes, Even something as boring (but essential) as retirement savings plans have a fun cool name “Kiwi Saver”. In Canada that’s RRSPs Registered Retirement Savings Plans. In the US it’s “401k” or IRA. (essential, but dry and boring and lots of red tape.)

Hmu;))) i

You mean metro bus

who are they

Mighty Moa Man Probably flight attendants, but anyway no one from the films if that's what you meant.

DeadDodo Peter Jackson and Dean O'Gorman was there

Yes

And Dean O'Gorman

My precious

When?

😂

+Jared Taylor-Finch He doesn't say that in the movie? I never noticed! Must be they were counting on ignorant modern people who would take "fly" literally..."what, he wants them to fly away?" I guess I just mentally made myself hear it as "fly, you fools". Not that I've watched the movie many times.

he says it in the movie to be he falls to fight the balrog DEFEATS IT AND COME BACK TO FUCKING LIFE.. DONT FUCK WITH WIZARD. gotta love gandalf..

People should make serious things less serious so people actually watch them.

+Jason Darcey My No.1 tip for oral presentations in middle school where they don't matter. A+ all day.

They do!

AdwikblockMCnoteblocks thats so cool

They had 300ER, 200ER, 787 and 320 versions. Almost the same but with evacuation scenes altered. Seats differentiate between the Boeings and the 320s in real life but were left as is in the video. 320 video cut Business info etc

composed specifically for this advert, might be tricky. good luck your journey awaits you!

To an American, it sounds like a clearer Australian accent with fewer idioms, a far more oxford-like dialect than Brumie & Cockney British, or US regional speech found in Massachusetts, Georgia, Louisiana and the Ebonics forms. It sounds like a sharply annunciated Southern American accent to many here.

Ac1dR3FL3X Man, you know the language.

Ac1dR3FL3X I am from southern USA and it doesn't sound southern at all to me. If I only heard it and didn't know from the film, I'd have guessed Australian or New Zealand.

I find the kiwi accent lovely to listen to. It's warm and friendly sounding. I believe the first time I heard it as different from Australian was when Rachel Hunter was interviewed. From what googling I've done on NZ, it's on my list of "wish to visit" places.

It sounds like a variation on the stereotypical British accent. I probably would think it was a British accent if I wasn't paying close attention...and what is this Sports Illustrated models you speak of? It sounds cool!

(As of October 2022) Covid restrictions are finished now, and the vast majority of people have been vaccinated, with many folks having the Covid afterwards, and only having minor symptoms. If planning a trip "down under" allow yourself enough time, remember that Australia is a huge island continent as large as USAmerica's lower 48 states put together, (stretching from Temperate in the South to full Monsoonal Tropics in the North) and that NZ is a separate country comprised of 2 large islands totalling same size as Wyoming State or the UK with just 5 million population. We are 1,000 miles / 1,600 km away to the SouthEast of our Aussie cousins (we range from moist subtropics in our North to cool temperate in the South). Remember our seasons are reversed compared to USA, UK and Europe. So Christmas, New Year's into February are our mid Summer and peak holiday season, and mid Winter (and peak Snow skiiing in NZ) is around July/August. When you do visit, take extra care crossing roads as our steering wheels are on the right side of the car and we therefore drive on the left side of the road (same as Britain and Japan, but the opposite to USA and most of Europe etc) . In Australia almost all the animals want to bite you, suck your blood or eat you, (Salt Water Crocodiles, Fresh water Alligators, snakes, and in the Tropical North, they reckon the mosquitoes are so big, that ground crew at Darwin Airport started filling one up with Av-Gas, before realising their mistake ! LOL) and in NZ expect higher prices because although almost nothing bites (except grocery and petrol/gasoline prices !) there are no snakes, no scorpions, almost zero biting spiders, but goods often cost more because of extra shipping needed for imports. If you ever make it to Christchurch city in the South Island of NZ, look me up, I'll show you 'round a bit ! Generally speaking, Over the years, I've found flying with Air NZ ok, but QANTAS or Emirates is far far far nicer, and worth any small extra cost. Cheers

@@KiwiCatherineJemma Thank you for all the info. it's much appreciated. I live in Canada, and know what it's like to live and travel in a big country (2nd largest country in the world after the Soviet Union). My goal is to ship my motorcycle over to Australia and ride the roads, then grab a ferry to New Zealand to explore there. I've never flown Qantas but have used Emirates which is a great airline. If I ever make it over NZ I'll definitely give you a shout and the same goes for me; if you ever make it over to Alberta, Canada let me know. Best time to visit is late August til October (22C today). Cheers, and thanks again for the advice.

@@deborahcabot3100 (Just between you, me and the 400,000 people quietly reading this text thread...) Be aware there are no public ferry boats between Australia and NZ, so people MUST fly (exceptionally rarely, folks can pay to get a ride on a freight cargo ship, they sometimes have cabins for a handful of paying passengers. It's no cheaper than flying, but is a one week "experience" apparently. I must give it a go someday !). NZ's climate is entirely different to the North American landmass which stretches to the polar North. Because we are islands we're never more than about 100 miles from the Pacific Ocean. And although there is nothing between the South of NZ, until you reach Antarctica, being ocean all the way, (except a few small rocky islands inhabited by weather scientists counting penguins etc) moderates Winter cold weather from making its way here. Christchurch is about 43 degrees South Latitude, about the same from the Equator as Chicago USA. However here we are lucky to see a dusting of snow once every 5 years LOL this year we got a dusting twice, both times it was mostly melted by 9.30am and on roads it melted instantly. (However inland we have mountains up to 12,000 ft / 4,000 metres, and at altitude they get lots of snow, and world class snow skiing). Winter morning frosts are mild and short enough we can grow oranges and lemons and some vegetables like cabbages all year around and other subtropicals including some types of palm trees here (far more up North). Local Oranges are a keen gardener's curiousity, not as good as shop-bought ones grown in the North of the North Island or Australia though. Some gardening textbooks say Christchurch City's climate is like Vancouver Canada, but I think we're more like coastal parts of Oregon State. When I see KZfaq videos of temperatures of minus 18*C I think of my freezer at home. When I hear of colder temperatures, I can hardly conceive of it. Here there is no such thing as needing to Winterise a car, no Winter tyres, no Winter engine oil. People into skiing fit tyre-chains when necessary to access icy access roads. Diesel fuel oil does have a "Winter" formulation though. But yippee we are heading in towards Summer now and I have Beans sprouting in the garden and more to plant tomorrow.

@@KiwiCatherineJemma Lol, well there goes my dream of riding around NZ. We use ferries most in BC and to NL (Newfoundland). The longest being a 7 hour during from Nova Scotia to NL. I'm originally from NL, grew up in Quebec and settled in Alberta. We are moving into winter, with morning temp. at -3 then warming up to 15 all the way up to 21C. We do drop to -30 or even lower in winter, but hey all part of living in Canada. The East coast of Canada gets heavy snow and it stays until March or April. The West coast get light snow which like NZ usually melts by mid day. Enjoy your garden. Cheers

@@deborahcabot3100 New Zealand's North and South Island are connected by large ferries which transport passenger walk-ons, cars, trucks, motorbikes and train freight wagons. There is also a small picturesque very nature-y, "Stewart Island" right at the very South and that is also connected by ferry to the bottom of the South Island. In general, Australia's roads are long straight and mostly flat (except for the strip up the East Coast which is all old volcanoes) whereas in NZ almost all roads are hilly and winding corners (because we're either volcanoes or tectonic plate boundaries uplifted). I actually live in one of the few "mostly flat" places. Although we have some lovely hills favoured by bushwalkers, cyclists and motorcyclists , just touching our Southern city suburbs. The remains of 2 extinct volcanoes from a gazillion years ago. Up to 900 metres high at their peak where radio and TV transmitters are located. There's several places renting motorcycles here. Here's one with a large local branch. www.motorcycle-hire.co.nz
