  • airline commercials need this music again!

  • I know that what is depicted in this commercial is not physically possible, but if it was, I wouldn't care if I had to hold my breath because I want to be on that plane! :D

  • lol, whales were big in the 90s

  • Come fly the friendly seas!

    Hell, you can meet Shamu!

  • My grandpa was on the 747 when it banked right at the end of the vid.

  • Oh my GOD!!!!! Worst idea for an airline commercial EVER ! ! ! It looks like the plane crashed at sea and sunk to the bottom of the ocean! ....with whales swiming through it. Unbelievable!!!!!!!!! Totally insane!

  • @JetMechMA The marketing folks were depicting roominess in the cabin by using whales and also "crossing the oceans" using United's new 747 fleet. Double meaning and pretty ingenious if you ask me.

  • @jimdep333: Double meaning and pretty ingenious if you ask me.

    JM: I didn't mean to hurt your feelings if you had worked on that ad campaign...but it looks like the plane crashed at sea and the fishes are swimming through it. I'm sorry but it does. No offense intended.

  • This was the livery used from 1974 to 1993

  • @egpo24 I like it best

  • Great commercial.

  • This commercial was revolutionary when it came out. I'm glad I got to see it again for posterity.

  • I like the color of the plane but today it is like blue

  • So sad to see this great airline reduced to a shadow of its former self

  • What do you mean ?

  • I DONT' MIND FLYING WITH A KILLER WHALE

  • HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

  • If i was the CEO of United i would be freaking out about this video portraying the image of one of their aircraft lying underwater.

  • Rhapsody in Blue, every time I hear it, I think UAL

  • You're not the only one! Come fly the friendly skies!

  • I dislike the fact that the United 747-400s don't have ptvs for Y and Y+

  • Those seats sure have a nice recline to them...lol.

  • i think it would be better without words

  • oh why did united ever change it's colors to that nasty gray in the 90's?

  • does united still use the 747s?

  • yes they do

  • Currently they're still using the 744s for some trans-pacific routes but they're working on grounding them as they're the least fuel-efficient planes in their fleet.

  • they actually dont use those old ones they now use 747-400

  • I'm tired of mutha fu**in whales on this motha fu**in plane!

  • lol i dunno why you got negative that was pretty funny

    i gave it a thumbs up :)

  • me too lol

  • good special effects for 1992.

  • Awesome! Better than the 1993 one.

  • love the music and narrative!

  • Okay xD My mom was on a 747 flight with a tank of dolphins in the back, but I've never seen this before ..

    It's original alright!

  • United is the best airline around, you can't get any better that this

  • Sounds like your blowing the president.. BEST MY ASS,

  • United Is still a great airline, its a classic, much more classey then say Southwest. Not knocking them by any means. I just love more classey services

  • United to Southwest, IMO, is apples to oranges. Different markets

  • Really, and how much is a United fare?..Don't hate on Spirit.

  • If you've ever been on Spirit airlines, they charge even for drinks that other airlines give out for free. Also, Northwest doesn't even have pillows and blankets on their domestic and maybe international flights. Both of them don't even have in-flight entertainment on domestic flights. United has all of that.

  • Like I said on other videos. The worst airline there is north america is skybus, despite their cheap fares.

  • I agree, UAL SUCKS the big one!

  • so do you

  • no it doesnt it if it does why do you watch ual vidoes and comment them oh and put them on your favorites?????

  • Thanks for the memory on this commercial. As far as I'm concerned, the 747 is one of the best planes there is.

  • I love my United!!

  • I used to fly those 744s when United used to fly to MNL via SEL. Too bad UA doesn't fly to MNL anymore...

  • I know. I want them to fly to Manila again. DaPlatinumJedi, are you Filipino?

  • Yes, I am! Even though UA807 (SFO-SEL) is still in use, but does not continue on to MNL... I believe that UA would make bank if they resume service again to MNL since they are expanding out to the Asian market.

  • I am Filipino, too. I agree United Airlines should fly to MNL. I'm from Michigan. So, we don't have much options to fly to Manila. Either go to fly Northwest to Detroit or the Twin Cities, or drive 5 hours to Toronto or Chicago.

  • Kung filipino ka, alam mo ba ang tagalog? do you understand what I'm saying?

  • Hell no!

    Anyway, by looking at this video, it looks hella dated!

  • you don't know how to speak filipino?

  • do you know how to speak filipino? I might have said what I said before incorrectly.

  • Always loved the United commercials with Gershwin's music.

  • Gershwin is amazing

  • sweet!
