Etihad shows us some mannequin love but in its own unique way!

Okay, okay, okay, settle down peeps! So there's a new viral video trend sweeping through the Internet, and this one involves people freezing themselves in action just like a mannequin.

Okay, okay, okay, settle down peeps! So there’s a new viral video trend sweeping through the Internet, and this one involves people freezing themselves in action just like a mannequin.

And the name of such trend, you ask? Mannequin Challenge. Yes.

The hashtag #MannequinChallenge has been popping up on many a social media platform, including Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. And everyone from Ellen DeGeneres to Michelle Obama, to Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul McCartney have jumped onboard the trend.

So it was only a matter of time before one of the big players in aviation, Etihad, decided to join in all the fun too!

But not one to follow a trend just for the sake of it, the Abu Dhabi-based airline has reimagined the ‘mannequin challenge’ in its own unique way, to allow an exclusive view of its flagship Airbus A380, which features the only commercially available three-room suite in the sky: The Residence.

Take a look at the video below, that not only tickets the trend box, but is also a clever way of showing the world what they have to offer at 30,000 feet in the air…

Featuring mannequins instead of people, the video reimagines the internet craze – giving an inside peak into one of the world’s most exclusive on-board experiences through the First Class cabin and The Residence.

Following ‘cabin crew’ as they complete their service whilst ‘frozen’ in the moment, the video also showcases a glimpse into the service and hospitality roles of the on board Butlers, Cabin Crew and Flying Nannies – another unique element of flying with Etihad Airways.

The Residence currently flies to Melbourne, offering this exceptional level of service and comfort for Australian travellers.

Would this not be the most comfortable way to fly that next long-haul trip of yours?
