As a public service, to help educate the Twin Cities flying public about what changes they can expect when Delta comes to town, we present Delta’s new in-flight safety video.

That’s not a parody; it’s the real thing. You can get the behind-the-scenes scoop from Delta’s relentlessly upbeat corporate blog.

The star of the show is Katherine Lee, a real, live Delta flight attendant based in Atlanta. Delta, in a savvy bit of multimedia marketing, posted the video to YouTube in February, and “Deltalina” (after Ms. Jolie) became an Internet phenomenon — not as big as “Chocolate Rain,” but big enough to garner coverage from such mainstream media outlets as the Associated Press, CNN, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Wired magazine.

“Smoking … is not allowed on any Delta flight.” Yes, ma’am.
