Here are my suggested new slogans for various airlines:

United Airlines: "United -- Our pilots salaries, our chances of more strikes from other unions, your blood pressure -- Rising"

Delta Airlines: "Delta: Enjoy the walk"

Northwest Airlines: "Your choice to snowy destinations"

Singapore Airlines: "Upgrade, hah!"

SAS: "Our airline also spells '...'"

Thai: "Fly Thai and die" -- that's an old standby

Southwest: "Experience flight for the firt time"

USAir: "You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the new midfield mall in Pittsburgh"

ATA: "What's that stench"

And my personal favorite:

Airtran/ValuJet: "We'll get you there or die trying"

(I thought of that one in a wonderful epiphany about a year and a half ago. I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes)

BearX220,

I remember that Jay Leno routine, too! It was,

"Delta, The Airline Run by Professionals", then

"We love to fly and it shows", and finally,

"We get you there, so sit down and quit complaining!" or words to that effect...

Hello FTers,

One my favorite slogans is Southwest from 1996:

DL, Don't tell us what you want, we will tell you, so shut up and put up with us!

Isn't United's new ad campaign "We are really really sorry" and "Ok, we screwed up big time..."

I like Dennis Miller's comment one night "Boy, good thing the staduim isn't called the United Dome, the game would start 2 hours late and no one would have their equipment".

I remmeber American's jingle:

Silver Bird Take Me Home...

And the Qantas koala is back after many years of being gone. But I don't know what their slogan is.

Swissair used to have "the refreshing airline", but after one of their jets plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, they figured they'd better change it. Now it's "Swissair. We care."

AUA Austrian Airlines is "like a smile in the sky", whilst BA still considers itself "World's favorite airline".

The little Qantas koala used to sit in his airplane seat and complain, "I HAAATE Qantas," for bringing all those tourists to OZ where they would pester him...

Wow, we shifted more towards parodies, but then again they offer the most amusement.
I remember when airlines were banning on smoking on flights, believe it or not it was not that long ago.

One of the nightshow hosts, I believe Leno, was talking about new ad campaigns for those who still allowed smoking. The only one I remember was
United- Come Fly the Phlegmy Skies!
Another skit on SNL had a stewardess offering- coffee, tea or cancer?

United's newest slogan is "Keeping people United"

Of course you will need to bring your wallet with you. Try to change a ticket, and you have to have a platinum card!

The complete jingle was "From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west, we're American Airlines, doing what we do best."
