New TV adverts now on flybmi.com
They've added the new TV adverts to the home page of flybmi.com
Very nice they are too The only criticism is that it seems a bit cheap to basically re-use the same advert twice with different voiceovers.

Very very boring !!! They could have done better than that . Showing their A330s and new J class seats along with the lounges would have been more interesting. Also some shots on board with in flight service etc....
I have a friend who is in a major advertising firm and he says its low budget.

tagline goes something like "The free rides are the ones you remember the most"
edit :
tagline should actually be :
"The free rides (plus fees and taxes) are the ones you remember the most"

On the right hand side on the bottom of the real player there is a speaker button you press to get the sound!! I though the same thing at first til I pressed it .

In relation to it being low-budget... Good! Im glad they didnt spend a fortune. It doesnt look cheap, so job well done.

Made me chuckle slightly in that it reminded me of this board
Incidentally there was another bmi advert on TV at the weekend I think. Trouble is it sounded so general and uninteresting that I didn't look up. Was only at the end when they mentioned bmi that I realisesd what it was for. No idea what the message was though.
(I'm not saying I think it was a rubbish advert just yet though)

Thanks for the explanations! I will watch it again (with sound) when I get home.
Thanks, but my work computer REALLY doesn't have sound - no sound card

Then it would be just a run of the mill advert for an airline... I agree they could have highlighted the product somehow as anyone unfamiliar with bmi probably wont have a clue what theyre on about, but i like the fact that they made an effort to be creative.

I just think that they have a nice livery and the A330's look nice. Also the J class is good and the staff look well in their uniforms. For joe public it would make more of an impact if they did not know that much about BMI. If you have something good then show it off!!!

I don't believe that was 18 years ago! It must have run for a while as I too remember it very well and I was only 9 in 1989. A great advert anyway at a time when BA really were the world's favourite airline.

No - I prefer this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKQVpTVdLag
In respect to the comment on the face ad, BA spent huge sums of money on that and I very much doubt they would do the same these days.
