*bleep*, I can't stand that Korean Air commercial they're always running on CNN. The first time I saw it, I was sure it was a commercial for perfume/cologne, like a Calvin Klein thing. It's just got such a "full of themselves" air to it. Just watch it, it takes them until the last 1/4 of the commercial before they get to something related to aviation (the plane pulling in). There, had to say it.

Well, most airlines try to sell a vision of luxury/comfort, at least the major national carriers.

Korean Air is the largest cargo airline in the world.
Possibly for 3 reasons.
1. High value, small items that depreciate rapidy, ie computer chips go by air.
2. They are the cheapest cargo carrier out of Korea. Why? Korean Government regulations/interference that gives the airline an advantage over other carriers.
3. Nationalistic consumers.

meh. They're not the worst or the best by any measure. Try Royal Thai for a real nightmare. I'd even pick Korean Air over JAL.

Before the lynch mob comes in mass and babbles about Koreans who can't do anything right, let me plant one little landmine. Off I go. Ka-boom! Laughing

Korean has bumped me and my family to business class on several occasions. I quite like them for that. They allow my bags to exceed the maximum weights and sizes. I am a proud Morning Calm member.
They haven't ripped me off, nor made it hell for my wife and kids, like the nightmare airline that Branson made, (They are a bunch of theives! and incompetent at best) Nor have they overcharged me (an extra 30%) like my 'national airline' did because I was three minutes late.
Nah, I'll stick with Morning Calm thanks.

Korean Air is great. They're right up there with Singapore Air and JAL. Now, if American Airlines or Czech Airlines had a commercial like that, it would be a definite Rolling Eyes

The best part of that commercial is when the woman is lying all sexy on the sofa, then the man comes over holding a bottle of champagne near his crotch, and the champagne pops open. Metaphor, anyone?

i don't think they let a native speaker correct that ad. i mean, what the *beep* does 'Pledging' mean in the commercial?
