The best Air Canada advert ever

In the the early 90'sAir Canada created a beautiful add campaign using gorgeous images and truly inspirational music!! I remember trying to anticipate when it would be on so i could try and record it on video!! After some time I was actually abe to speak to one of the musicians that created the music.And he sent me a tape cassette with a number of promotional material tracks including this clips music although minus the vocals.I hope to post that sometime soon. One of the reasons why I love this clip is the photography.

Fantatic advert. Like others mentioned this has always stuck in my head. I visisted vancouver in 2007, as I have friends living there, and I am seriously thinking about applying for visa! Like the advert states...A breathe of fresh air. The music actually reminds me of that art of noise track 'moments in time' I think its called. The ad is posted on youtube elsewhere with info about who composed the music. The composer has created music for quite a few ads apparently.

Loved this ad so much as a kid that I still want to go to Canada to this day! Remember a different version with a skier (same amazing music though)

I noticed that at one time you were going to post an extended version of the music from this commercial...did you ever get a chance to do that?

Thank You!!! By far the best imagery and music broadcast ever made! Still stirs my emotions as much as it did in the 80s. For those who love this advert see different versions posted at...

YES! Been looking for ad for ages. They had a longer version of it on UK TV. Thank you for uploading. It certainly made me want to visit Canada.
