Ever had your spirit, and spine, nearly broken by a bucket-shop flight experience?
In this age of cheap and not-so-cheerful travel, an airline would do well to distinguish itself from the economy pack, which this charming vintage ad does very well.
The campaign – comprising a main spot, plus a some hilarious 15-second silent-movie style clips – was directed with his usual flare for comedy by Tim Bullock through Ruffian and highlights JetBlue's superior air service in contrast with the fictional shoddy service run by a couple of scoundrels, the Alright Brothers.
