Haha! I saw this in the free Abu Dhabi Week magazine at the mall and I snagged one, intending to blog about this a few weeks ago. My husband and I got a good laugh out of this.
And there is a TV add as well, showing Costner enjoying the Turkish Airlines hospitality (front of the plane of course).
He looks in the mirror in the spacious Turkish Airlines washroom and transforms into a "normal person".
Therefore, any average Joe can feel like a star.....
Not a bad campaign really I thought. Certainly beats Emirates new "Now flying to Dubai from 6 continents" campaign, currently showing on Sky News.... yawn, sigh, snore..........
Yup, seen it on TV as well.. Not a big fan of the guy, but the spot is okay.
Hahaha, well whaddaya expect...you're in a country where Brad PItt and Tom Cruise are image models for the local barber shop without them even knowing it....
ahaha
sure he does..
The TV commercial explains it better.
Dave - I think that on TV in Barcelona, I've seen a different ad to yours but the concept is the same.
The guy looks in the mirror and changes back to himself, but it's after he's left the plane as Kevin Costner, jumped into a family photo (as all stars do) and then he looks into a mirror in the airport and changes back.
