Hobbit - video, aircraft and Wellington

It looks like Air NZ is doing a new Hobbit theme to coincide with the second film.

The Hobbit safety video is back, which is a huge improvement over the previous one.

They have decorated another 777 with a huge picture of a dragon (no doubt it's Smaug as in the film). I suspect it's a 773, but I only saw it from the runway at Auckland with the aircraft parked in the maintenance area.

Wellington Airport has two new airborn attractions in the main public area to compliment the Golum statues in the form of two huge eagles, one with Gandalf on top.

I missed the new one last night - had the crew demo! So very pleased the Betty White vid has gone.

Likewise, you were't on NZ708 were you?

Nope - just an AKL-WLG flight.

Is this a rehash of the old clip or an entirely new one?
