Just reading the headline I thought that this was one of the best April Fool's I've seen and the video was amusing - although it was a pity that they had to say that it was April 1st. Anyway, WELL DONE Westjet for the novel way to get publicity.

Like PAXboy says, obviously an April Fool, but, excluding the asphyxiation problems from having a cabin full of helium, there's the obvious problem that helium isn't cheap itself. I would suspect that it would cost more to fill the aeroplane with helium than would be saved by the lighter load.

Talking

True that Helium is a successful way to die but I HAVE to admire their large scale approach to the advert. Getting staff to play along and getting enough helium under his nose (possibly being discharged by a person with a canister and face mask, behind the nearest row) and carrying it off with good humour.

In the days when paid for advertising is very expensive, getting a viral video is smart.

Very true, I have to agree this is good advertising for Westjet.
