Not seen this before although it might have been posted before. It looks so dated now - only twenty years on that voice would be far too posh for a promotional video me thinks.
That kind of voiceover is still pretty common on corporate promotional videos, used for example, on exhibition stands - but as you say, way too posh for today's mass audience.

What occurs to me is how, certainly so far as leisure passengers are concerned, standards of customer service have fallen, whilst at the same times passenger's expectations have at least remained the same, possibly even increased.

I'm sure I heard a major error in the narration, where the script said Britannia were the first airline in Europe to fly the 737 - surely that accolade went to Lufthansa, with the -100 series fleet? Mind you, where promotional films are concerned it's sometime beneficial to not allow the truth to get in the way of a good story!!
