Va Pensiero, popularly known as The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, from the opera Nabucco, by Giuseppe Verdi
I loved those BA ads with that beautiful chorus.

The ad for Yorkshire Airways is rather good.

Though I don't have a particular love for Qantas, the "I Still Call Australia Home" advertisements are awsome. When I went to school in Hong Kong, the "Qantas Choir" came to our school and sang it live for us. Awsome!

At the opposite end of the spectrum but not worthy of starting a seperate thread: Worst Ad. (No Hijack intended. Figured it was close enough to lump in)
The current Korean Air ad is rather disturbing. Particularly the scene of the woman putting an envelope in her mouth (what happened to S.W.A.K.?) then cutting to a scene of a man holding a champaign bottle to his crotch and the cork popping.
If there's some airline analogy, I'm missing it.
In the mean time, Korea, please leave the 'high art' to Air France.

Qantas is clever - and masterfully produced - but too "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" to suit me. Anyway, airlines selling destinations rather than service and amenities do so at their own peril (remember TWA?)
BA's bedding down in Central Park and awakening in Parliament Square does it for me.

Contrary to Flyertalk popular opinion, I find the 'Sky High Airlines' advert rather tedious. It's an unsubtle, overlaboured, one-joke campaign that has more than run its course... Maybe I've just been directed to the site one time too many.

I liked the British Airways commercials with a guy calling all his friends, getting their answering machines, and standing in the middle of Times Square yelling "where is everybody" and then this upbeat salsa (?) music came on and this voiceover in a strong British accent said "They're in London! With British Airways $99 fares" (or whatever it was). That commercial always made me laugh.
Hadn't thought about it for a long time... thanks OP for starting this post. ^
