Since airport hassles are a hot topic, an incredible airport video to lighten the topic...

TAP Portugal and ANA Airlines did something very special for their customers December 23rd in the middle of the Lisbon airport. Imagine what it took to pull this off.

If this needs to be sent to the Lounge so be it but it made me smile.

PS hat tip to Edward Kimmell for turning me on to it.

Edited to correct the date.

1. Well it made a couple of people smile..

One self kick before it gets buried. I think it was a great way to wish their harried customers a Merry Christmas.

4. I like the little girl at 4:24...

who shuts Mom down when she starts dancing to Dancing Queen. :)

11. My favorite part, too!

She was not having her mom embarrass her!

Great Video...I am however having difficulty imagining Delta Airlines employees doing that...

13. Or United or Northwest or American, etc. etc.

Not a lot of smiles in those terminals....

7. Look like a T-Mobile dance

Look it up on youtube, there are a bunch of them. I love them, they always make me smile.

8. Youtube was meant to be a free jukebox, not an outlet for folks to their fifteen minutes of non-fame

Color me un-impressed.

And I hate fucking medleys. Unless they're performed by Leon Russell.

9. I guess somebody forgot to tell YouTube

what you expect them to be.

[XOKCowboy]

10. I don't think that was meant just for YouTube...

There were at least 5 pro cameras and 20 or so entertainers. That was a big money production. I think this was meant for Portugese/European advertising and just got on YouTube.

As for Leon Russell as a former Tulsa boy I totally agree with you.

19. We're sorry to have disturbed you

Our apologies. We promise to be more Leon Russell-like in the future.

Please, help yourself to a complimentary insult in the Lounge.
