With acknowledgements to NCLRules on Key Forums, here's a link to a truly awful song for the German budget airline HLX:

I honestly couldn't listen to it all, it is that bad!

I understand this little number gets played on HLX flights? Doesn't it make you want to rush off to Hamburg!!

On the subject, does anyone know of any links to any other equally abysmal airline songs?

I don't have a link to it, but that pan-pipes version of "true colours" by Cyndi Lauper that Aer Lingus used to play fair did my heid in.

Here's another I found:

American Airlines 'giving it their best' ... very cheesy!

Good god............that HLX song is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Taxi through the air"- Lovely


Continental was quite cheesy too, will need to see if I can find it somewhere

Not corporate songs exactly, but continuing the cheesy advertising of airlines theme, found some crackers on YouTube ..

Delta Airlines ad from the 1980s - just about the most mawkish thing I've ever clapped eyes on:

Virgin Atlantic (I swear that's Nighthawk and GKirk on their recent peregrination )

British Caledonian (from 1982) - Caledonian Girls:

China Airlines - now you can be a decadent western bastard and not feel guilty ..

Ghana International Airlines - apparently the daily arrival of their 757 prompts mass public celebration, bit like when the weekly bus gets into Annan:

British West Indies Airways - refusing to pander to stereotypes:

On a more serious note, I reckon this one still stands the test of time as one of the best airline tv ads ever made:

Totally agree on that one, I just love that music, every time I hear that I think of BA, and every time I think of BA i think of that music. I was rather surprised and dissapointed to see they have dropped it from their new adverts......

I flew with Northwest Orient from Prestwick several times in the late 80's and will never forget the cheesy video/song which played before take off - "North-west Or-ee-ent ... Airrrr-liiiiines".

BTW, has anyone been to see the brilliant Pam Ann shows? She uses an old airline song/video at the beginning of each show - presumably the old Pan Am song. It is pure class - "Come fly with us, experience, Pan Am".

For a bit of a laugh go to her website: http://www.pamann.com and once inside click on the 'Glamour' link. Choose the first video for her take on the friendly skies - I guarantee it's hilarious (if you like that sort of thing!!).

if anyone knows where i can see or fint the old BA "fly the flag" commercial, would ber very greatfull!

Trivia

Did you know that's where Russ Abbott got his idea for the famous 'See You Jimmy' hat?

Oh, >>> Braniff Aiways 1975 ... quite spooky
