Finally saw it on an actual flight for the first time (IAH-LAS on Oct 20) but on the return on Oct 22 it was back to v2.

Has anyone seen this video (or any UA safety video) on a flight with subtitles in a language other than English or Spanish? Flew from a non-English speaking country on UA for the first time in a while and I feel like it might be a concern if some pax didn't understand any part of the safety briefing, even if most people don't pay attention to begin with. I feel like other airlines put in subtitles in languages other than the native ones or do the whole video in other languages...

Although (unlike NZ), at least they're not wasting money on a new version right now.
Oscar has been cut from the video!
What is of particular concern to me are the "Sky Lanterns" being released into the atmosphere, at the end of this "Safety" video.
OMG! Does anyone realize how many cows can suffer a slow and agonizing death if they eat the wires from these lanterns, should they happen to fall to earth in a farmers pasture?

I've never found wires in my cheeseburger on UA. Now I can't find a cheeseburger on UA.

My guess is they will recycle the 2016 Olympic video for the 2020 (held in 2021) Olympics.
Nothing static in the video says 2016, just CGI imagery, and the set they used could pass for Rio, Tokyo, or wherever.
Perhaps the only yellow flag would be the ramp workers wearing their 2013-2019 uniform.

I’m aware of that contract, but my understanding is that it will begin with the Beijing 2022 Olympics.
These upcoming summer olympics are going to be officially known as the “2020 Summer Olympics” and United paid for the contract of this Olympics. Unless if some modification to the deal was made, I doubt there would be a change.
