When it comes to air travel, safety always comes first.
But a Filipino airline has decided it's not afraid to also make it fun - by getting its attendants to dance their way through the flight safety demonstrations.
Travellers aboard Cebu Pacific will, for the festive period at least, be told how to buckle their seatbelts and inflate their life jackets to the tune of Mariah Carey's smash hit All I Want For Christmas Is You.

All I Want For Christmas: Attendants on Cebu Pacific are dancing their way through the flight safety demonstrations
Positive: Bosses at the airline said the reaction to the dances had been 'great'
Bosses say the music and dance helps passengers concentrate on the safety message.
Then, once Christmas has finished, hostesses for the low-cost outfit will revert to swaying through the aisles to Lady Gaga's Just Dance.
Spokeswoman Candice Iyog said: 'Now that it's Christmas, we wanted to bring a little more fun into the flight.' And she revealed passengers had a 'great reaction' to the stunt.

Rhythm: The attendants gyrate their way around the cabin while giving the safety demonstration
Wishes: At the end of their routine they send their 'very best' to all passengers
They arrive in the cabin in unison and, underneath a voiceover detailing how to react in an emergency situation, gyrate their way through the safety procedure.
The change of tune comes shortly after a Thai airline also tried to set itself apart from competitors - by hiring transsexuals as attendants.
PC Air, a new charter company that plans to fly routes across Asia, hired four after receiving more than 100 job applications from transvestites and transsexuals.
