A few announcements as we begin our flight.

Everyone should have a look at the safety card that is in the seat pocket in front of you.

Not only does it have pretty pictures,

but it has an important information about the location

and how to operate all exists

and explains other safety features of this airplane.

Please keep your seat belts fasten whenever the seat belt light is on.

To be safe, we recommend your seat belts stay fasten whenever you are in your seat

just in case there is an unexpected turbulence.

And

please comply with instructions from the in-flight team with regards to the fasten seat belt sign.

For the point zero zero zero one percent of you,

who have never operated a seat belt before,

it works like this

Just insert the metal end into the buckle until it clicks

and pull on to loosen and to tighten.

To open, lift on top of the buckle.

Be sure the seat belt fits low and tight across your lap

and you’re good to go

There are four doors,

two in the front and two on the rear.

Each door has an inflation slide which inflates when the door is open.

There are also two window exits over the wings

also equipped with inflation slides.

The slides in each door

can also be detached from the airplane

and used for flotation if necessary

Each door and window exit

is indicated by an exit sign.

There is also a path of white lights along the base of the seats

that lead to red lights which marked the exits

Take the moment to look around

and find your closest exit.

This maybe behind you.

Go on. We’ll wait.

It’s unlikely

but if the cabin pressure changes suddenly during the flight,

oxygen masks will automatically drop from the compartment above of your seat.

If this happens,

pull the mask down to your face and cover your nose and mouth.

Slip the elastic band around your head

and tightened by pulling the loose ends at each side of the mask.

Then, just breathe normally.

Oxygen will be flowing to the mask

so don’t worry if the bag doesn’t inflate.

Be sure to put your mask on before helping others

and keep it on until a crew member advises you to take it off.

Also unlikely is the possibility of a water landing.

But just in case

a pouch containing a life vest is located under your seat.

In first class,

they’re between seats at the floor level.

Take it out of the plastic bag

and place the vest over your head.

The strap goes around your waist

and attaches with a buckle

Pull on the end of the strap to tighten

as you leave the aircraft full sharply on the red plastic handles to inflate.

The vest can also be inflated by blowing into the red tubes at both shoulders.

A water activated locator light is attached at shoulder level.

Keep in mind that

your seat cushion is not a flotation device.

so please don’t take it home with you.

A word about complaints from our friends at the FAA,

the airplane is one big no smoking zone.

So you can’t smoke in the restrooms or anywhere else on the airplane.

Tampering with, disabling, or destroying restroom smoke detector isn’t allowed by law.

And everyone is required to follow the instructions from the in-flight team

and comply with lighted information signs and posted placards

Okay, as we get ready to take off

please check that your seat belts are fasten,

seats and tray tables are up,

and your electronics are off.

As the crew comes through to make a final cabin check,

please let us know if you have any questions or need any help.

We promised to do everything we can to make sure you have a safe comfortable flight.

Not least of which is ending this speech now.

Thanks!
