Some random guy telling me that PS is just like traveling in a premium cabin overseas doesn't really say much or provide a compelling message.
Couldn't agree more - it just falls flat because there's just no romance, no emotion, no nothing. It's basically reading a bunch of facts.

Agreed, I like the new AA ads - they touch on functional benefits (like international wifi), but still drive to a higher-level emotional connection. Having Don Draper narrate doesn't help either
