Thanks for this. Co-branding ad messages presents interesting creative opportunities and maybe even some $$ savings.

Not exactly Christmas, but another fun Turkish commercial
That food !!!!!!!

(sometimes, just from a creative message perspective, I wish AC would be more adventurous)

Just thought I'd throw this video in this thread instead of making a new one. I find this type of video much more effective for improving brand image than AC/WS's previous feel-good videos (what are really ads, shown in earlier posts) focusing instead on the AC Foundation rather than the airline itself.

What is up with that map?!?!?! As a director I would have had that re-shot. Nice feel to the video though.

Seems all the text on the map has shifted east from the land feature it represents.

All those outdoors shots of the Chilcotin bring back memories. It's a stunning part of the country and about as far (and blessedly) removed as one can get from the world of MLLs and the trivial pros and cons of seat 2K vs 6A. Good on the AC Foundation for supporting the breakfast program. I bet none of those kids will ever post a complaint that their provided breakfast options "haven't changed since I started flying this route".

I know very little about this AC Foundation, so pardon my ignorance but as much as I'm happy for that kid to fly in the pod, doesn't it make more sense to fly 10 kids in Y instead? Again, I am not privy to how that stuff works!

I believe I have donated to it a few times in flight when FAs pass by with the bag.

FYI:

In the above case maybe only one child needed to fly.

I know in other cases and entire aircraft is chartered fly sick children and their families to Disney World. I believe the flight crews and cabin crews donate their time for these charter flights.
