The ad hit home in our family (Canadians living in the UK). After Wife Newsguy911 saw the ad, she had the emotions hit that we weren't going home for Xmas. 30 minutes later, tickets booked to see the family for a week in YYZ...
Guess marketing does work....

Kudos on their selected targets: drunks in a foreign land who probably had little to no exposure or expeeience with rouge.

I finally figured out where all of the money saved from revamping Altitude to the 2015 flavor went. To those at the pub who fly, oh wait, 0 times a year and just got a handout 
Many many times. What's the opposite of the color blue again?

Canadian airlines are trying to make you cry this Christmas, and they're not the only ones. Welcome to the world of "sadvertising."

I watched that video thinking, why do I never go to the Maple Leaf? I would have love to have a free round trip ticket back to Canada for the holidays. But then, I remember how annoyed I am for them gutting their frequent flyer program & they way they treat people who pay to fly their planes with complete contempt. Sorry, call me Scrooge, but I'm not feeling it.

I'm taking this one at face value. AC did something nice for a bunch of people.

Remind me not to fly on your flights, your bad luck. In 30 years flying over 3000 flights, I have never lost 1 day because of mechanical problems.
