Gotta luv the Pom's!

This is the new Virgin Atlantic ad, and my discrete source tells me that this is how the new Virgin Australia Group aircrew uniform will look.

Love it. How many phallic symbols can they squeeze in the one ad?

Strange advert. Used to love seeing the A340 in Sydney with Four engine for longhaul written on it taking past the Voz 777.

I think it is a great advert.............being 1.5 minutes long I'm not too sure if it will go on TV in the present form. If shown here in OZ, QF marketing had better sharpen up, not that you see too many QF adverts these days!

IMHO, a bit too much James Bond undertones, except the last bit about Linda in Miami, but she's probably an MI5 agent on assignment.

Reverse, I noticed that too, the James Bond style. I instantly thought "Casino Royale" when I saw it.

Oh dear. Yet another Oz mate who can't see (very slightly veiled) humour.

Just goes to show how far you Aussies are behind us Poms.

This has been showing in the UK for at least the last two weeks, maybe more.

Air Asia has real life "slappers". We were in the bus with them and I felt dribble leaving my mouth.

Very nice.

.......very clever marketing & even if it is a little 007-ish who cares it's designed to get yr attention & that's exactly what it did These Co's pay big bucks to stand out & by the looks of the comments here already right or wrong they are getting the desired results:-)

What 4 engined plane?............I didn't see one

Love the Aviator sunnies:-) They never show beer bellied overweight crusty old Capt's in these adds, why is that?

Booked my seat with VA in F class.
SPL HANDLING RQST:
"I would like ice-cream served exactly as in the advert".
"Would that be chocolate or vanilla, to start with, sir?"
"Ah yes!"

Makes QF's "I still call Australia home" adverts look "very tired".

The answer to the rhetorical question, "How many phallic symbols can they squeeze.." is: clearly not enough.
