Not significant at all, do I need a hearing aid, or did other posters hear the same thing (bar vs lounge)?

Purely out of curiosity rather than relevance.
There are two versions - one with 'bar' and JA with a Martini in her hand and the other with 'lounge' and a mocktail in her hand ☺️.

Yeah, right !!

Think you might be confusing Ms. Aniston with someone rather less well-known

What a fun ad!

Now, it's bit misleading to folks unfamiliar with EK, in that it all too briefly flashes the notice about the restrictions to A380 first and business class. But that's just a quibble.

Just an afterthought, doesn't the premise suggest that one could experience nightmares when flying with EK?
That's a pretty daunting and negative image, sort of a question mark in an otherwise enjoyable ad.

Oscar-nominee Bryan Buckley directed the ad, which will be initially shown in the US and the United Arab Emirates before being rolled out to Australia, India, the UK, Germany, France and Italy.
The cost of the commercial — and Aniston’s presence — is a closely guarded secret, but Emirates has invested $28 million in securing TV spots worldwide.

It seems that in her nightmare she was on DL...

Given that she hates flying though that advert was hypocritical...one more hour on the air? Jenn, pleeeeease...How did they get her on the plane, tranquilized her?

Doubt that she was in the air. Most likely shot in LA.
And I'd gladly be the world's biggest hypocrite for $5 million on a few hours work.
