Korean Air

Color of perfection 2007 Republic of Korea

Blue has never looked so good. The words and pictures in this ad are quite random but also quite elegant, sophisticated and relaxing... This isn't your average airline commercial, except for the graceful flight attendants at the end and the standard corporate slogan. The beautiful song was custom-made for the commercial by Robert Matt and is appropriately called "Breathing The Blue."

Uniform 2005 Republic of Korea

Under very frequent and rapid camera flashes, Korean Air flight attendants proudly sport their bright new 2005 uniforms as if they were walking down a runway - the kind they have at fashion shows, not at airports! You have to love the moment they all walk together towards the camera, as "The Road to Mandalay" by Robbie Williams builds up.

European Grandeur 1993 Republic of Korea

How do you advertise flights to Europe... to the people of Korea? The answer is in this commercial. Follow two Korean women (either sisters, or friends... or even partners... or perhaps flight attendants during their mandatory layover!) on their trip to Europe, alternating with beautiful landmark images, soothing pictures of a Korean Air Boeing 747, and a nice, fast-paced music background. And voilà! The result: a charming invitation to see the wonders of Paris, Heidelberg, Rome, the Swiss Alps and London. If a picture is word a thousand words, this ad proves it. Kudos to editing team of this commercial! With the help of a fellow YouTuber, the author took the liberty of adding English subtitles.
