Videos to relax long-haul flyers
February 2003 52
Air France is showing new in-flight relaxation videos on board its long-haul flights. The video replaces the film shown to passengers since September 1999.
The four-minute film, On Cloud Nine, is shown in the cabin once, twice or thrice depending on the flight duration. This film offers passengers advice on how to prevent dehydration, precautions to take if wearing contact lenses, what to do for blocked ears, and suggestions on how to recuperate on arrival, among other things.
The short film, shot in Cambodia and Tunisia, presents gentle exercises, which alternate body energising, breath control and relaxation.
On Cloud Nine was produced in partnership with the Accor group and Air France, is shown in both French and English.
