BusinessTravellerKeymasterThe fifth series of Mad Men started this week, and in the UK the ad breaks during the first episode were filled with archive 1960’s adverts, among which was this offering from American Airlines.

VintageKrugParticipantI like the simplicity of this advert, for Concorde:

It used to appear on british-airways.com in the days of dial up internet!
Those interested in vintage BOAC/BEA posters can order them from the BA Heritage Collection:

Many originals are viewable in the Galleries lounge in T5.

Funny how flying seemed so glamorous back then – although a cursory look at the BCal cabin shows that in fact, it probably wasn’t.

LuganoPirateParticipantHaving grown up in London, I can really only remember the BOAC ads, though no specific ones. Funnily what I do remember the most are the ads for the Union Castle Line. It was my dream to travel on one of their ships with their posters of exotic destinations you could only read and dream about.
Thanks for the link for the posters VK. Now placing my order!

RichHI1ParticipantI used to enjoy the humour in commercials before it became spin spin spin.
I believe this shows Peter Sellers protraying a well known poster who I shall not name, though not a BA commercial…
