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...!
