Mirry Christmus from Air New Zealand

The capacity to laugh about oneself is a laudable quality and one that Air New Zealand's marketing team seem to possess in abundance.

The latest marketing video released by Air New Zealand - the airline that has almost created a new film genre - is an homage of sorts to the Kiwi accent, that, apparently, causes some issues onboard flights when some passengers have difficulty understanding it.

A  very christmassy video nevertheless.

Just bear in mind that having Christmas in the peak of the summer gives you also a rather unique point of view on the topic...!

Kiwis are known to put their own spin on words, mixing up vowels and leaving the rest of the world pretty confused. Santa is one of them, it's definitely not an easy task for Santa to get his head around every order that comes from New Zealand each year.
