[TheBadbrian]

yeah how about a spoof ad with all those glamorous sexy virgin girls Bound and Gagged, and fatties take over

[593OLYMPUS]

A great advert - better than the B.A one with the masses of people walking onto the beach from the sea etc ( remember that? ). This is a great mix of music and editing - still brings a smile to my face. The girls in this advert are obviously gorgeous, but I especially like the lady at 0 mins 47 secs on the right of the row of aircrew ( looking at the policeman ) - crumbs is she a princess or what?! Congrats to everyone involved - one of the best adverts in years.

All those saying well Done to Richie Boy Branson, not sure why, it's his marketing team for VA that have come up with this one. He's far too busy with Virgin Galactic anyway these days, and I pretty much guarantee he'll have a marketing team for that too.

Of course, the advert is awesome, I just think he has had no direct involvement. I know many CEO's and above who have no idea what has gone out and sometimes have to sack their own M-Team for the offensive nature of their own ads. lol.

Wonderful. I am trying desperately to find an mp3 of the particular re-mix of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax" that they used for this.

[Yorkshiregirl1967]

[CinnAlla]

Thank you!

An almost identical video can be found on Danish ( I think)television.

[caspergear]

Typically excellent of Virgin Atlantic, they show this ad on-board their aircraft too!

I only ever fly VA transatlantic ;-)

[moshabee]

Yeah. But it wasn't released until October 84. Four months after the events of this advert were meant to have taken place ;)

Cool Ad

[CULAVE]

Very Refreshing to see an ad like this in our politically correct era.

[lion575]

No kidding ... I received a link to this video in an email with subject "The Godd Ole Days". This is exactly why I refuse to live in the USA ever again ... It has turned into a police state with no rights, freedoms, and a bunch of over sensative yuppies that would sue the shit out of Virgin Atlantic for having overly attractive employees or whatever other non sense they could come up with. I am currently living in Asia and in many ways its very much like the US was 30 - 40 years ago.

[CULAVE]

lion575- yes I get the impression a lot of Asian countries are less PC than Europe or North America- which is good in a number of ways. California strikes me as the worst of all. Regards.

[rotterdam1953]

I was a businesman 'extra' on this advert. The outside shots were filmed at Kempton Park and inside at Ascot. It was effing cold on all fiming days but jolly good fun :-)

[82ndmoosey]

Totally agree with you mephi2. Tell you how sad I was - I even went to the extent of emailing VA to say how good it was, and the best TV ad I'd seen in years..

[mephi2]

The best TV add for years !, just imagine queing for your flight, bored silly and this lot come marching through WOW.

Well Done Richard Branson, even the music fits perfectly.
