Guess The Airline - January 2001

Hooray! The record of most people participating to a single Guess The Airline has been broken! And even more surprising: almost 85% of the participants submitted the very same... wrong answer. Just a few guessed it right! This advertisement was taken from a late 1990s issue of Time Magazine, Asian version.

Click or tap on the ad to reveal the answer.
"Extra room for ladies. Time to take a moment. Time to touch-up the make-up and enjoy the little extras provided for female passengers. Time to enjoy the privacy of the ladies-only washroom"

How to guess it?

85% of the people submitted... China Airlines. Yes, the flower in the background was very misleading. It DOES look very similar to the plum blossom of China Airlines. However, China Airlines does not use the flower THAT way. Think further. The few clever people who submitted the correct answer actually thought of one important thing in advertising: continuity. The other advertisements from the airline in question bear the same pattern: computer-like menu, with ramifications, often the same "flower" in the background...

After the men-only flights, now we have the women-only lavatories. Women got even!
