Now I cancel any trips that have to deal with flying on emirates airlines since that accident, anyways my friend just told me today what about if I text you guys and maybe you could help me with this fear of flying issue

@Scott Awesome intel! Thanks for sharing!

I may have a little insight on this. Last month, I did the Pan Am Experience dinner at the Hollywood Air studios in Los Angeles (well, Pacoima technically). After the dinner, we took a tour of the studio and saw the aircraft sets they have setup... and our guide told us that Jennifer Aniston had been there earlier in the day filming a commercial for Emirates. But the sets at this studio are of generic, older aircraft, nothing remotely close to a blinged-out Emirates A380, so we were puzzled. But the guide went on to explain that the scene was of Aniston searching the interior of some U.S. carrier plane, looking desperately for the onboard shower. So I think the ads are going to have some humor. Aniston is on a crappy U.S. carrier searching for all the amenities Emirates offers and she can't find them. I suppose it could come across as harsh and biting when that happens, but I have a feeling it's going to be more lighthearted. We shall see...

At least I’m fairly sure that she won’t put her dirty feet up on the seats like Nicole Kidman did in the Etihad advertisement; as an Australian, may I just say that that was a somewhat appalling look?
