Beautiful United Airlines Commercials
Have you seen this absolutely breathtaking commercial? It’s called “Sea Orchestra.”
I saw this the other evening while watching the Olympics and was in awe. I searched around and discovered that it is in a series of five commercials in the “It’s Time to Fly” campaign by United Airlines.
All five are really beautiful but “Two Worlds” is my next favorite.
This just fostered a desire to see even more. Daniel and I found a whole bunch of them on YouTube.
It appears to me that United Airlines has always had an amazing style in their commercials that really surprises me. They chose George Gershwin’s 1924 “Rhapsody in Blue” to be a theme song and you can hear elements of the song in their commercials since the 70’s. I just don’t expect major corporations to understand the importance of unique, beautiful, and artsy commercials when I still see so much junk that makes me wonder what on EARTH they were thinking.
Here are a few of my other favorites:

If I’m not mistaken, it’s Robert Redford’s voice at the end of these, too:). Now if only airline travel were so whimsical in real life! Thanks for sharing these:)

I love these commercials! The one where the guy floats up in the sky reminds me of _Alice in Wonderland_. :o)
