    Lightbulb Favorite Airline Ads

    Remember when airline commercials filled the airwaves? I got to thinking about them the other day when I heard Rhapsody in Blue playing on the radio. I’m listening to Gershwin music and all I could think about was “Flying the Friendly Skies” - on a side note, does anyone know if they’re still playing Rhapsody in Blue in the tunnel that connects T3 with T1 & 2 at ORD?
    At any rate thought I’ll post a few of my favorite airline ads/campaigns through the years.

    AA - Post 9/11
    I liked this ad for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was parts of it were filmed at LAX.

    QF - I Still Call Australia Home
    Al-SYD (emeritus Non-Rev Forum Correspondent for Australia/Oceania/Asia) introduced this ad to me. BTW, we never did make it to Australia to visit Al - weight restricted flights (twice), luckily, we had great back-up plans. On our third attempt to visit the land down under - it was - late pax, after that one we just drove back home and never tried for Australia again. Yeah, we finally got Al’s message…. and to think our argument was about beer. I tried to explain I never…. said…. Budweiser was the King of Beers - It Was an Ad.

    THY -     Widen Your World
    Morgan Freeman's voiceover makes this ad "fly".

    UA - Rhapsody in Blue
    It’s Gershwin and an airplane, that’s all you really need.

    Funny ad and pretty accurate too. I have good friends living in Tucson and they definitely get excited about cloudy days, shaded/covered parking spots and crushed rocks on sale – a crushed granite sale had them dancing in the street.

    The Phoenix cloud is awesome. The only thing is, we don't panic but get excited about a cloudy day. It happens so rarely!

    Oh yeah you Arizonians do get excited about a cloudy day and go absolutely nuts if the weatherman predicts an inch of rain.

    A whole inch? In one day? That would be amazing! We get excited about 0.10 of an inch (much more common) but are thrilled if we get 0.25 of an inch around here. I mean, this is Arizona.
