Their timing remains as good as ever.

[White Knight]

Obviously not short on cash or earnings as some of ya'll seem to think...

[bigdaviet]

She's over 35 so its all good

[electricdeathjet]

I feel sorry for the kids ambitions......

[Jack D]

Was never in a decent movie though
Lots of "work " on the outside but basically v average if one looks deeper , sound familiar ?

[Hypoxic01]

How, why was the economy kid allowed to be in first class anyway???

[kingpost]

Is that the new recruitment advert?

[Pequena_Inquieta]

How, why was the economy kid allowed to be in first class anyway???
And allowed to sit on the stairs...

[Talparc]

Biggest BS campaign ever who come up with this crap?

Costa dwellers using marketing money to insult own employees.

I think when people said mgmt. knew issues with EK521 and they are on it, we should have believed.

Answer is STOL pilots from Outback and Alaska, they never miss TDZ. May be they will even drop Boeing/Airbus jets and go with IL-96s with hardened landing gears, who knows.

The timing and symmetry of this ad could not be better.

A failing actress advertising a.......................... , well you get the drift!

Why Ms Aniston is the Daaarling of the PR dept defeats me, after seeing her interviewed by Parky, she truly was an empty vessel, without a single word or thought of her own. Oh wait now I see............:cool: (though it must be said Phwoar!! Norks!!)

On another subject, has anyone else noticed the tatty trim in FC on the 380? Doors falling apart, etc. If I were paying full price I would not be impressed.

[felixthecat]

I wish I was classed as 'failing' and getting $5,000,000 for 2 days work.

[Cantbebothered]

I wish I was classed as 'failing' and getting $5,000,000 for 2 days work.
No other fool would pay Aniston that amount of money for doing a vapid commercial and not even a movie.

No one full stop is going to pay me that for 20 years work in the airlines :(

[Perwazee]

Sorry, felixthecat, you are NO Jennifer Aniston!

[natops]

What a crap video, I don't even get the message ( must be the fatigue thing) , and what a waste of profit share.

[jack schidt]

Very relevant advertising! Jenny is Sooooo yesterday!!!!

[donpizmeov]

"Emirates have released a couple behind the scenes of their new Jen is Back commercial. Interestingly it was all shot on a real A380, not a set, and in one of the BTS you can actually see the aircraft registration, so I did a bit of research:

Aircraft used: A6-EOW (delivered March this year, so pretty new)
The number plates, comments by crew and vehicles in the BTS all are American or indicate they are in the US (one crew member references wanting to get on an 18-hour flight to DXB).

According to Flightradar24 the aircraft hasn't been to LAX since May, and would you look at that, it was there on the ground for 5 days! It landed at LAX as EK2697 on 23 May at 10pm and flew back to DXB as EK2698 at 7:30am on the 28th. "

Videos in the link above.

[fatbus]

An your point is?

[nakbin330]

Interesting post DCS99.

Five days on the ground in LAX .... must've been a cost neutral deal. Use her as a film set instead of parking up in HAM or similar.

[ironbutt57]

at least the "other" airlines' lady is a class act

[buggerall]

I call things as I see them. I think this is a very good and well executed marketing campaign (OK, I admit no expertise in the field...) Promoting economy class (going to be well needed....)

[harry the cod]

Don

Too right I would...........

No expertise -> right you are. Because it's really not what needs to be promoted!

Boss to secretary:
Dear, would you be so kind and check the bookings for my flight to XXX
Secretary:
Already done and booked, dear Ph ... ahh Boss.
Boss:
But Economy??
Secretary:
Sure. It's nicely overbooked there and Business and First are wide open, as usual.
Boss:
So, why book in Economy then?
Secretary:
Well, Dear, with all your miles and fidelity cards, you'll be instantly propelled up front, so why pay for it??
Boss:
I looove fidelity, don't I my Dear .... :cool:

May be in alternate reality.

1) Economy kid will never be allowed in F
2) Seat swap will never be allowed
3) Leaving juice glass on stairs is a risk to flight safety.

Now EK has to hire US3 granny FAs with rolling pins to guard premium cabins from pesky economy kids.

@glofish
As per new op-up rules, Skyward miles and status will not get a free upgrade. Highest paid pax from low class will get the upgrade. Boss is in for a surprise.

[glofish]

Still better than C or F price. Secretary knew and booked full Y. :ugh:

[Pequena_Inquieta]

2) Seat swap will never be allowed
3) Leaving juice glass on stairs is a risk to flight safety.

Seat swap allowed... only once.
Not allowed to sit on the stairs, with or without juice. Period.
