Well we haven't had a good airline fight in a while, so leave it to two of the US's best airlines (best at what they do btw)to make our lives fun.

It all started with a Southwest ad

Followed by an Airtran ad

I would love to see what they would do with Ryan air.

I do love the way adverts in the US are upfront at drubbing specific competiors :D :D

Both good adverts though y)

Really cheap to make and hugely effective. Very good find. (really good quality you tube clips too)

I think the problem is that in the UK everyone knows Ryanair is just plain bad but will still fly them.

I did a trip on Air France (CityJet) up to Edinburgh and compared to the LCCs it was a dream.

I think the Airtran advert must have been filmed secretly on one of my Monday morning EZY flights STN-EDI...sharp elbows a must :D
