I thought it was good/okay. The beginning caught my attention, how the clips fit for the lyrics and of course all of them trying to get on the plane. I liked that. But by the middle of it it was kind of hard to follow and keep watching, probably because the song was a bit too mellow and too long or because of the fact that all the people boarding the plane weren't the most exciting scenes. But it's supposed to be about the flight, so I guess it's mostly the song for dragging on midway through.

I hope that was constructive.

Here goes. I agree with Distress signal and additionally have the aspect ratio problem but I suppose you use WMM2 and there may be nothing to do about it but it still bugs me when I see it (see also http://lostvideo.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4133)

The song is a bit long and slow and made me a little tired when listening to it even though I know it is meant to be so emotionally tough for the person to be leaving on that jet plane. To counter this I think this vid needs some (not a lot but some) special effects or interesting cuts to pick up the pace a little. This would help a great deal. I'm sorry for being vague but I just can't put my finger on it. The vid needs something ... like pizzazz. To set it above and take the viewer beyond the literal translation of the song which the first part does very well.

Good vid but needs something...
