United Airlines

[zshaw7549]

Why did they stop these animated commercials? I remember these commercials coming on when I watched the news in college before heading to class.

[Supermassively]

@zshaw7549 Because our culture has lost its imaginativeness.

[jrdindial]

hate these commercials- reminds me that the afc west game is over on CBS - and I haven't even started my homework yet- it's sunday- but goddammit it's a school nite-- it's 1988-1996

[mrcaptaincj]

I think that is a 777, not 100% sure though.

[larsperner]

One of my all time favorite ads! Great illustration of the "means-end" chain.

[dedonLB]

if this was made in 06 how did he miss having two different color shoes when since 9/11 at the security check point they have to take off ur shoes...plus it looks like a 757 too me both planes

[MyleneJ]

@dedonLB Its a Boeing 777, Only twin engine plane in the fleet that has two sets of six wheels for the main gear.

[Prometheus100194]

Yep 777 lol

[PilotUTA]

Its actualy a 777, not a 747. hah

[UAHawaii]

I love rhapsody in blue and United! Perfect match!

[otterinaction]

did u know united is the worlds second largest airline? IT WILL STAND!!

[MsSankofa]

ROFL @ Dristarg!!

[Acecombatzer0]

United, Its time to break Guitars

[EDP407]

United airlines: Can't give me a descent flight, but they can give me a descent commercial!

[vikma4]

United Air Lines and all its Star Alliance partners will continue into the future as the best airlines in the world. All other airlines can just go and die!

[ParkerLiberty]

What confuses me is why would they show an A320s cabin when the outside is clearly a 772. They know better than that

[MyleneJ]

@ParkerLiberty Actually if you look closely or pause the commercial you can see that it IS an A320, the 772 has a Flat tail cone, the APU vents out out on the Left side of the Aircraft, The one in the video has a Round Tailcone with the APU venting straight out the back.

[Dristarg]

Did that interview panel include John McCain and Barack Obama?

[starlessartemis]

@Dristarg i totally thought it was obama too.

[C3P0meetsData]

@Dristarg Yeah looks like it. And the guy that got the interview looks a lot like George Gershwin!

[DustinThePooper]

@Dristarg And Hilary.

[lemonlime05]

what song is that use in this commercial

[sally1715]

Rhapsody In Blue - composed by George Gershwin -

[lemonlime05]

Thank you sally but I figured it out that same day because I really wanted to know the song title because it really touches my soul. I figured it out because of the movie called fantasia 2000. But thank you anyways :)

[swmdal]

I love this ad, thanks for posting.

[up838]

This ad & the meeting one with the woman are two of my favorite ads, even though they're a bit old now. They just have a real good 'flavor'. Plus, I like UA, and a lot of their recent artwork in print.

[Acecombatzer0]

no the video clearly shows its a Boeing 777 or 767

[boeingLL747]

what does 747 have to do with the video?

[16mmDJ]

this is a united commercial and they use 747s

[boeingLL747]

the guy said it was a being 747 commercial. im well aware of it being a united commercial and they use 747s

[16mmDJ]

aaah, i see

[mafioz3]

nope it was a 777

[rtayl]

I love United's commercials. Makes me want to fly them more often!

[JuliaB1955]

Don't you know that United breaks guitars--and doesn't reimburse the owner for their damage? See "United Breaks Guitars"--they have no ethics whatsoever! Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ParkerLiberty]

Thats the problem. They have a really good ground image but then the second you step onto the plane, you just want to get off (except the new F/J)

[Tigerman1138]

I love this ad so much! I always feel for the guy, wondering before his return flight---unsure if he got the job. Suddenly his phone rings! It's his headhunter (or the company) telling him HE GOT THE JOB! He jumps for joy, his worries abated, and sleeps on the way home. :)

[amtrak207]

Great commercial United! Whoever was behind their new animated commercials such as this one is a pure genius!

[boeingLL747]

i've never flown United but i've heard they're an airline that doesnt screw around.

[time2fly95]

no they don't they are very professional! I just love them!

[turtle441]

By far the best United commercial I've ever seen. The music is awesome, and it's just...I don't know. This isjust a great commercial.  Go UNITED!

[juanieboy12]

Goes great with Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue".

[mrplanecrash]

What Is the Tagline That the Announcer Said?

[LH164]

"Where you go in life is up to you - there's one airline that can take you there. United. It's time to fly."

[zcuzcu]

a good thing about united airlines is that:

they give you a lot of food

[UAL151]

This is my favorite United Airlines video! :)

[Tigerman1138]

@UAL151 Me too! This ad was my favorite of the entire series! I feel for the guy each time. He hides his shoes, he still manages a great interview, but they say they'll get back to him. He wonders around (Central Park in my mind) before his return flight---status unknown on the job. His phone rings from either his headhunter or the HR rep.... he HAS THE JOB! He jumps for joy. Finally, our tired hero falls alseep on the plane ride home---his worries abated. Beautiful.

[cgmd75]

I have to agree with the comment on UA being one of the best, I do agree there are great airlines out there, however UAL is classic and always will be. SWA has made flying trashey, let em have all the low class! UA still remains middle to upper class

[ParkerLiberty]

SW is the backbone to American air travel. There is a reason why its the most profitble airline in the world, and why United is way down on the list, because United is just not up to the job

[spiricomm]

sweet capitalism

[stephanie1977]

this is by far one of the best commercials i have ever seen, i love this one better than any other of this series

[75sevenA330]

All I can say, UAL is the best airline, even better then sliced bread.

[dkorda]

UAL is cool, but there is better

[75sevenA330]

DUDE for the last time PLEASE get a life, the only reason I am answering thme so fast is b/c I am actually doing something productive while u are just STALKIN me!

[dkorda]

Dude, I am a UAL fan.. love em, they are great!

[75sevenA330]

I am asking please dude just stop! Find something better to do then just follow me around Youtube and bash all I like, U can say what u want but u will NEVER change my views on UAL!

[dkorda]

UAL is the best airline in the entire world! Better than SWA, CO, AA, BA all put together.. this is a wonderful country we live in.

[artfowl1991]

WOW! This is so entertaining, reading the comments from dkorda and 75sevenA330. As my friend Dainiel would say it: "I'm having a wonderful time online!"

[dkorda]

FartFlow- that's fucking great your boyfriend Daniel thinks your having a good old gay time online. That's fucking great!! A75 is a pussy- he won't come back b/c he was defeated.

[taildragger120]

True, it is a 777. In fact, United was the launch customer for the 777. Even though I do not fly United often, they do have the best adds.

[dkorda]

traildragger - I agree, their ads are the best, and their employees are the best too!

[75sevenA330]

Hey glad ur are trying to turn my comments around on me, ur a pretty cool guy for doing that! U must get ur kicks by fighting with someone who is like half ur age and twice ur smarts! BIG MAN, must make u feel good!

[dkorda]

UAL is the best!

[simclap]

I really like this commercial, where can I find this video in .avi or .wmw.... Thanks

[bh48858]

um, that is a 777, not a 747.

[mavartworx]

These are sooo GREAT!!! by far the best ads in a LooOOOOOOoooong time. please put up more and thanx for puttin' them up :D (im feeling a bit like this guy:( )-MAVIII

[dkorda]

oh ya!
