British Airways new TV ad says “DON’T FLY”. Find out why!

…the Facebook App! British Airways is the official Airline Partner for the Olympics. I think they have done something very clever. I suspect that it does the job of both rallying people towards the Olympics without the old standard footage of people running, jumping and vaulting like so many brand do. This is different and stands out from other official Olympics Partner Ads that are all a bit blurred into each other. It also, as a result, makes pe…
