I'm going to go against the grain here, but I think this is one of the best adverts for a long time, in any field. It shows a great time line of aircraft & aviation through the ages, all slotted into 1.30 of video, whist managing to create a very stirring "glamour/thrill of flying feel" through clever use of music & snapshots of the best bits of flying.

I might be a bit of a romantic, but the gleaming engine cowls of the DC3, a grumpy piston engine firing into life, Concords afterburners lighting up, the throttles being opened at the end of the runway & easing back the stick as 747 gracefully lifting into the air are all images most of us imagined as small boys/girls through the ages, dreaming of careers in aviation or simply just the amazing sensation of flying.

I think it's a very clever ad, focusing on the thrill of flight & the journey being a big part of the adventure to your destination

Oh, I flew BA (777) to Florida last year, have to say the service was fantastic each way!
