Virgin Atlantic Fantasy Flying vs Reality


Virgin Atlantic has a new ad out! And it makes flying look like something between attending the VMAs and a scene from 300. But let's keep it really real here, Virgin—you're cool, but flying is not like this.

The full ad—which, to its credit, is well done, as far as travel porn goes—can be viewed in its entirety below. Slow motion! Sultry flight attendants! Gourmet shrimp—in slow motion! It accomplishes something between making me want to run out and buy a ticket to anywhere right now, and making me feel a lot less cool about myself.

  2. I don't even...
    How did this seem like a good idea? It's so long and doesn't tell you anything. Maybe for a Super Bowl or something but still... it's pretty cool though.

  6. They made it look epic, when in fact you will be really cold and trying to sleep next to a baby squealing or something
