Off topic, but there are also awful airline names. One of the worst was Ecuador’s Ícaro Air. Er, it crashed... Potential passenger response to the image?

Is AA still using this slogan? I feel like I haven’t heard or seen it since those commercials came out when it was first launched.

The slogan has recently been modified to "The World's Greatest Masochists Fly American".

I think Siberian Airways graphics on their seat protectors, and especially the graphics on the back of the bulkhead are quite interesting:

One may want to enjoy the fine Vietjet cuisine personally prepared by the pictured master chef- and the price is right!

PSA should have a slogan "Probably Stranded Again."

Cathay Pacific's ad a few years ago for Premium Economy rubbed me the wrong way. It just had an arrow pointing to the right with the slogan "It's alright to turn right." For people who don't know the "It's alright to turn right at the light" phrase, it sounds like a putdown for anyone regularly traveling in economy.

And of course
BA - "We never forget you USED TO have a choice" (after BA took over British Caledonian, giving them a virtual monopoly on UK flights)
Try Walking Across
Virgin Atlantic - they don't go all the way
Continental - The Proud Bird with the Golden Tail Behind ... as they went bust

"Something Special in the Air" never lived up to its hype either

It's also an untrue slogan. Wouldn't the greatest flyers have their own planes?
