【Travel Fun Fact】Bored of safety videos? Barcelona football stars make a star-studded appearance

By: Ding

What’s the most boring part of flying for you? For me, it’s definitely watching the in-flight safety video. Although it’s super important, seeing those almost identical videos over and over can get a bit dull.

However, Qatar Airways recently teamed up with Spanish La Liga clubBarcelonaand a group of its star players to produce an in-flight safety video. Stars like Messi, Suárez, Neymar, Piqué, Mascherano, and Rakitić not only made cameo appearances, but the content is also very creative — rather than simply hiring a few footballers as spokespeople, they actually integrated both on-field and off-field scenarios into this 4-minute-plus video.

Take the brace position, for example — the video uses the wall of players during a penalty shootout to demonstrate it.

Even the referee makes an appearance, reminding passengers to switch off their phones.

The entire video runs for about 4 minutes and featuresSpanishLa Liga playersfrom Barcelona,including six major stars: Messi, Suárez, Neymar, Piqué, Rakitić, and Mascherano.
