Air New Zealand's latest in-flight safety video stars Richard Simmons - and includes cameos from Paul Henry and Phil Keoghan.
Entitled "Fit to fly with Richard Simmons", the video features the fitness and aerobics guru running through the "in-flight safety exercises".
Simmons, in a blue singlet with a sequined AirNew Zealand logo, shows passengers how to stow away their bags ("stretch and slide, yeah, you're a giraffe!"), fasten their seatbelts, and use the oxygen masks, among other advice - all with a disco twist.
The Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan, who recently returned to New Zealand to encourage tourism in the wake of the Christchurch earthquake, shows passengers how to get into the brace position, before showing off his dance skills.
Former TVNZ broadcaster Paul Henry, sporting a blue headband and pink wristband, is on his phone on the plane as Simmons leads the dance troupe.
"I'm on a plane full of crazies," he says, as leotard-clad dancers pass down the aisles.
