I have to say I am a sucker for airline ads. They really do capture the excitement and joy of travel. I think this one, from British Airways, is my favourite. It's so positive and uplifting.

And before Ryanair became the airline we know and *cough* know, they were doing this:

This one from Finnair is beautiful (I love the bit at 0:37) but then it sort of leaves you sad...

Very patriotic. But I still wouldn't fly them. American.

BEST ADVERT EVER. From Virgin.

Seems very sexist now.

I still love the BA Face advert. Even now, still very fresh and IIFC, not a drop of CGI used.

Does the Joan Collins Cinzano advert count as an airline advert? [:D]

Thanks,
Sarah

If only to dig the amount of recline.

Best me to the British Caledonian advert Darren [y]

Will have to go for this instead.

Not strictly airline, but travel related.

Guess they spell maintenance differently wherever the ad bod was brought up

J'adore the Finnair panda [:I].

Southwest used to do some goods ones, but I found this (FAs in the old days, wow could those pants be any smaller!):

And I just love the old halcyon days of flying:

I with you on the BCal Adverts. Hence my signature line below

At the time, they were the main rival to BA - until the latter brought them out[:(!]

Absolutley bloody brilliant

The BA face advert is very good, I also like the one from VS when the UCS was introduced 'get your beauty sleep'. You don't see many airline adverts these days...

I'm still waiting for the effect to kick in.

Now, I didn't see any disclaimer such as 'This is an advert. You will not get up looking 20 years younger' so perhaps I can sue? [:?] I am happy to settle privately...... [:D]

I wonder if they ran the same ad in the USA...[B)]

I found this advert recently - it's so sweet, and very clever, in what it sells.

Truth in advertising right up there with VS.

oh that is SO sweet. Magical realism writ large.

Love to hear the announcement ' Apologies for the delay of flight VS200 to Sydney due to lunchbox entrapment - have another Mojito in the CH whilst we sort it out'

That is one of the best adverts I have seen in a long time, YouTube quality, foreign language and subtitles do nothing to dimish the impact. Well done AR!

I kept seeing this advert on Travel Channel in the US last month.
