Story

Featuring the strap-line "Your airline's either got it or it hasn't", the campaign takes the viewer on a metaphorical flight with Virgin Atlantic - guiding them through a surreal and glamorous world of airline iconography and dramatising how it feels to fly with the airline.

Concept

Virgin Atlantic launches its first fever global TV campaign as it looks to strengthen its recovery from recession and reinforce the airline's "it" factor.
