Amusing new EK commercial

Some of you may enjoy this rather cheeky prodding of US airlines.

I was ROFL when I saw it.

I tend to keep copies of funny ads to share with friends and colleagues (a lot of beer ads), and this just made the list.

Ah, yes, the "golden age," the time when the knowledge possessed by certain "airline experts" was last relevant.
It must be a scam, I tell you!

This reborn "golden age" is, as everybody know, subsidized by the numerous oil fields of Dubai, and the alchemist sheikh who grows AED bills in his secret garden.

By the way, not sure that PanAm allowed its appearance in this film.

?? PanAm doesn't exist anymore ? That's because of Emirates using unfair advantages in the Open-Skies treaty.

How many oil fields does Dubai have in your estimation?

There is a different thread for this as you well know. Please keep the subject to the advert and not discuss anything else.

Ahh... yes, yes I i did take it seriously. Some of what you said has been stated with such earnestness, and repeated, on this board, that the mind was lulled into believing that you too meant it in all seriousness. Your sarcasm, however, is not lost on me in hindsight.
