I was just watching CNN Headline News, and I saw a great commercial for Northwest/NWA.com

A kid and his grandfather are standing on a hill watching planes take off into the sunset.

The grandfather says to the boy "I used to bring your father up here when we was younger, too. Look, there's a 747!"

The child, looking at his cellphone says "That's Northwest flight xxx, bound for China, landing in Beijing at x:xx pm, gate xxx."

I had to crack a smile, that kid reminded me of myself, as I just got wireless internet, and that's something I'd do anyway.

(Of course the funniest part was that it was aired right after CNN reported on NWA's possible mechanic strike)

Anyone see this yet? I looked on www.adcritic.com and I couldn't find it. I'd really like a copy that I can download if anyone can find one.

My father is a frequent flyer on that flight Myself flew a few times on this route as well.
He could have been on the flight

I would want to see this commercial.

Many TV ads are available at: www.adcritic.com

Unfortunately, not yet this particular ad.

Does the kid also say, "And some of those poor saps aren't getting any WorldPerks miles because they're on a CyberSavers ticket." by any chance?

I do not watch many commercials and have not seen it - but when they start providing good service they'll get my attention and more business!
