Virgin Atlantic goes all Bond

Moonraker 5

Two years after the last Bond film, possibly two more years to go, everything quiet and dreary in old Bond world (hence why I've not been about as much) with nothing making the news, but one company still knows it's cool to evoke the world of James Bond for it's latest advertising campaign...

You just made my day...

Thanks for posting Moonie, nice advert, makes me long for the Bond credits of old, none of the recent credits have been all that interesting. I have never flown Virgin Atlantic, but do all their flight attendents look like the ones in the video. Personally I have been seeing far too many male flight attendents lately for my liking.

I don't find this humorous. It feels too glossy and over-produced to be funny and yet it dosen't seem like a straight-faced interpratation of the recent Bond title.

Very nice. Is it gong to be on uk tv?

Great Ad.

Love it!
I used to do a lot of flying with many different airlines in my previous career, at least six longhauls a month, and Virgin cabin crew/trolley dollies were always the hottest. :v

True. BA were my staple of choice long haul (except to Australia, on which route I go Qantas), but I flew Virgin Atlantic to Tokyo recently and I have to admit that yes, Barry, they all do pretty much look like they do in the ad... Virgin have in the recent past been criticised for it in the British press, as they're "obviously selective"!

(PS It is on British TV, saw it last night on E4 for the first time so obviously a new campaign)

Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Atlantic had a cameo in Casino Royale and in Quantum of Solace Bond and Mathis fly with Virgin Atlantic. -{

Well, it's not hard to see where they got their inspiration from

Nice Ad. Good to see a bit of glamour on our screens. Haven't seen it on TV yet though.


As for Virgin, I use them a lot when flying to the US. Excellent airline , apart from the ice cream, which is disgusting )

Personally, I'm for anything that recalls Bond during the ever-lengthening down times...I'm with you, Lex. Great fun!
