Original 60 commercial

Automated service (Mid-1980s/United States) : "Hi, I'm your talking ticket! Do you have baggage?" Twenty years later, this is not what self-service check-in looks like but this commercial is nevertheless quite humorous in its predictions!

Jack the Rabbit naively asks Larry the Lynx if it's true he is expanding. Turns out it's only Frontier that is expanding... or is it?

This is possibly one of the best-known British Airways commercials, directed by Hugh Hudson. A group of swimmers in red arrive on the shore, while a group in blue comes from the city, and a group in white is on a field. "Every year, the World's Favourite Airline brings 24 million people together", the announcer says, while people from around the world embrace. The last frame shown above this description does not give justice to the beauty of this commercial's ending. The music is Malcolm McLaren's "Aria on Air", which resembles both Yanni's "Aria" and the so-called "Flower Duet". Perhaps this commercial was so beautiful and is so well-known that in 2007, it was spoofed in a Silverjet TV commercial directed by none other than Hugh Hudson again!

In this emotional commercial, Aerolineas relives many important moments. It concludes that, after being on the verge of ceasing operations permanently, it's back to life (following its acquisition by Grupo Marsans). The English subtitles were added by yours truly. Thanks to an airodyssey.net visitor, Mariano, here is a list of the historical moments: Argentina being "the biggest barn in the world" the immigration in Argentina, particularly after WWII Pepe Biondi, renowned Argentine comedian the new aircraft (Boeing 707, Boeing 737-200, de Havilland Comet 4) the Buenos Aires province floods of 1983 Oscar Bonavena (boxer), Juan Manuel Fangio (F1 racer), Guillermo Vilas (tennis player), Carlos Monzón (boxer) Jorge Luis Borges, renowned writer and César Milstein, Physiology or Medicine Nobel Prize 1984 the exchange rate of the US Dollar being favorable to Argentines, who would go to Miami to buy "videogames, teddies, etc." the soldiers coming home after the Falklands War of 1982

This is a charming image campaign, presumably aimed at the Indian market. Random British people go on with their lives. Out of the blue, realizing that their hand gestures almost mimic the gesture already, they do the traditional Indian greeting (Namaste) to the camera, while an appropriately modified version of the "Flower Duet" plays. This is both charming and respectful!

Hi there from Chile.
