Safety demonstration

Before your flight takes-off cabin crew will provide a safety demonstration. It's important that you listen to this demonstration that will tell you about:

  • the use and adjustment of seat belts
  • where to find an emergency exit
  • smoking, including the prohibition of smoking in lavatories
  • how to use oxygen if needed
  • the use of floatation devices if needed
  • how to safely stow cabin baggage
  • where to find on board special survival equipment.

The cabin crew will also tell you about other safety requirements, such as:

  • tray tables
  • reclining seats
  • use of electronic devices
  • refuelling.

They will also provide demonstrations on how to use:

  • your life jacket
  • oxygen equipment.

You will also find the information on a safety information card in the seat pocket.

Cabin crew may provide individual demonstrations for:

  • persons with reduced mobility
  • passengers travelling with infants and small children
  • unaccompanied children
  • passengers sitting in an exit row.

Your cabin crew are there to ensure your safety while embarking, during the flight and disembarking. Make sure you always follow their directions.
