Seen on the NY subway today, an series of adverts for BA on the LCD screens. The format was a white screen with 3 bullet points as follows:
( ) Business
( ) Leisure
(X) Routine Maintenance
BA – A British Original
So they’re telling us that they can’t fly anyone because they’re offline for maintenance yet again? Wow, what a positive message to advertise to their biggest market.
There were a sequence of adverts, the bottom line replaced by:
(x) To go off script
(x) Because the doors are closing on this situation ship
(x) British accents
(x) To make actual eye contact
So their ad agency is as utterly hopeless as their IT then!
Good morning from Lombok!
As @Gordon said Wednesday‘s disruption due to the volcano lasted just a few hours.
We’re now on the taxi on our way to the Oberoi.
The island is so green that looks like we’re back in Kauai!
@Optimus Prime – Glad you made it, I am in contact with people out there on a regular basis, so if there’s anything you wanted to know, I will try and find an answer! You’re not too far from Gili islands, are you visiting? Great snorkeling!
Enjoy your trip.
