Why aren’t more airline commercials like this? 🙂

That guy in the middle looks like he is getting on well with her lol
Chris (the gut in the middle) is now a purser for Thomas Cook at Gatwick. He’s been flying now for over 20 years. He’s a lovely guy and to use an airline term ‘he’s more Martha than Arthur’ (if you know what i mean)!!!

Great advert!

I remember that advert where they put the empty milk bottles outside the door!
To the sound of much merriment inside! 😎

Wys is referring to an Air Canada advert that I remember well.

That brought back memories! Thanks for sharing it. 😀
Anyone got the one for Air Canada (So good you won’t want to get off)?
I think they banned it in the end… :rolleyes:

IIRC we had only black and white TV (and one single channel) in Sweden in those days! Jag bödde i Stockholm Viby då, Hans, tittade bara på Lilla huset på prärien.
I’m not that bl**dy old, although I wish I was sometimes… 😀

I wish I could remember but I was only 7 at the time and British television was far, far away… 😉

I remember watching that B-Cal advert when it came out. One of the most popular airlines in the business, from a passenger and staff point of view. Former staff still meet up for social events and from what I hear, they sound like damn good fun. 😀
By: Bmused55 - 16th July 2004 at 22:38
its the best advert I’ve ever seen
None I have seen since have made me go WOW like that did.
Infact, it enspired me to create this:

The Delta ad was also played in the UK (in English of course). Adeamus by Karl Jenkins in the music – made his name actually!

to me it instills the magic of aviation
