Funny how there's no plane in this plane company ad. Reminds me of the movie "The death of Stalin" where the son of Stalin has to train a new Russian hockey team because the regular one disappeared "in this unfortunate plane crash. - There was no plane crash. - Oh, right, no plane crashes in the Soviet Union. - We have the best planes. - Of course. Skate, sissies! Do you need me to show you how?"

Lovely ladies, sure. But it’s a shame the Soviets never learned how to make a proper TV commercial.

This is not a commercial. It is a scene from a musical comedy about people stranded at an airport.

Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Guy! Makes it a tad less weird....
