Pre-flight safety demonstrations cover everything from how to put on your oxygen mask to what to do in an emergency
WE all know safety is important when flying, but how many of us actually watch and listen carefully to pre-flight safety demos?
Even though briefings last just a few minutes, many of us are blasé about them.
Once in a lifetime is enough for anyone, right? Well, no.
