Austrian Airlines – Symphony commercial

by Sergio Ortega


This commercial from the late 2000s borrows from a concept previously seen on numerous TV commercials: everyday sounds mixed so that they play a song. And this being an Austrian Airlines commercial, what better song than the most famous waltz by Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, The Blue Danube!

It appears that at Scandinavian Airlines, the live safety demo is so good, it is worth an encore! No, seriously, this is just a remarkably beautiful pun for the airline being a “Proud sponsor of Bergen, City of Culture”. The song in the background is Dream a Little Dream of Me interpreted by Doris Day.

In a conference room, a manager announces they have just lost a major long-time client, one too many.

If you stumbled upon this blog by accident, I have to warn you: this is not my existing website. You see, I already have a website, which has existed for the last 12 years. It has lots of great aviation content.

However, I am now considering moving it to WordPress.com and turning it into a blog.

So this is where you’ll see some serious experimenting. The look of the blog may completely change once in a while, sections may appear and dissapear. You’re going to see lots of backdated posts as I move content from one site to the other. Keep in mind this is NOT the full website yet, but slowly and gradually, it will!

Enjoy your visit!

UPDATE (Aug. 28, 2010): My website has now been completely moved to WordPress.com!
