Every month, an airline printed advertisement, minus airline name and logo, is displayed for your guessing pleasure on Guess The Airline. The following is the answer to a previous game.
This was a different Guess The Airline, in the sense that it was not an actual airline advertisement, but rather an RBC Royal Bank Visa advertisement, promoting a credit card affiliated to a now defunct frequent flyer program in Canada. It was published on the airline’s inflight magazine issue of July 1999. Ready? Scroll down!
Canadian Airlines International advertisement/Royal Bank Visa advertisement titled: 'Go a step above. On us', from the year 1999, featuring the Spanish Steps at Piazza di Spagna.
How to guess it?
The introductory text mentioned this was a Canadian frequent flyer program back in 1999. Air Canada already had a long-date affiliation with CIBC Visa as well as Diners Club (and later on, with American Express). The only remaining Canadian airline having a frequent flyer program affiliated to a credit card was Canadian Airlines. The word “Plus” in the phone number could have also been a clue.
