It has enlisted sport stars and Hobbits in the past, but now Air New Zealand has opted for Safety Old School Style with Golden Girl Betty White and pals starring in its latest inflight safety video.

Set in the fictional Second Wind Retirement Resort in the US, White and her fellow residents take passengers through the safety briefing with cameo appearances from The Love Boat’s Gavin McLeod and the Yogi Bear Show’s Jimmy Weldon.

“Air New Zealand has a global reputation for creating unique in-flight safety videos.  When the opportunity came up to be involved in this project, I couldn’t say no.  We had a lot of fun on set and I think we’ve shown that it doesn’t matter what age you are, it’s important to live life to the full,” White said.

The airline’s head of global brand development, Jodi Williams, described White as the “ideal partner” for the project.

“Air New Zealand’s brand is all about liberating from the ordinary and our safety videos have proven a great way to showcase our unique personality to audiences of all ages around the world,” she said.

“In Betty we found the perfect partner – she is renowned for being a little bit cheeky and with a career spanning 74 years, who better to learhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-5gjkh4r3gn survival tips from than the award-winning show business veteran?”

To celebrate the launch of the new video, Air NZ is giving online viewers the chance to win the trip of a lifetime to either Palm Springs, California or Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island, including a raft of activities.  To enter, viewers need to share their story of how they are living life to the full at www.airnewzealand.com/safetyoldschool.
