Emirates reveals 'top upgrade' tricks in new ad

Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:42 pm

Emirates Airline today has revealed its new ad on how to better address your needs by choosing a good airline rather than fighting to upgrade your flight seat for a better inflight experience. The ad will feature a specific passenger problem that arise during check in and upgrade. The airline products are only revealed at the end of the ad.
"In a departure from typical airline advertising, none of the ads feature an inflight product. The brand is not revealed until the end of each segment."

"Each of the light-hearted ads in the season features a character doing their best to wrangle a seat upgrade at the check-in counter of an unnamed airline, using a variety of tactics ranging from feigning a special occasion to serenading an unamused member of airline staff, pretending to be pregnant or attempting mind tricks."

Each ad ends with a tip for travellers : " don’t upgrade your seat, upgrade your airline. Fly Emirates.”

It looks like a new ad to promote the airline. But this time no by promoting the hard product, but the before departure experience. The characters uniforms in the ad are similar to Delta's.

I don't find 3-4-3 seating on a 777 to be an "upgrade".

As ever, EK seem to do a good job at hyping up their product.

Yep, anyone in the middle seat will be squeezed anyway, no matter the class nor airline. Middle seat is a middle seat no matter what.

Dear EK, will you buy A380s to pay for that hype?
