You Should See Us Now Australian Airlines Ad

[@wesleyorrin]

Old enough to remember when Continental airlines did this, back in the 70’s

[@loretta_3843]

Good Lord! I can't believe I actually remember this. You know you're getting old when...😄

[@misled1982]

1979 Continental Airlines called...they want their jingle back please...yes I'll put them in hold

[@AR-yb4tz]

I remember flying on a Qantas 737-300 within NZ in 2009...still had Australian galley carts. She was an elderly girl.

[@82dots]

I wanted to be an Australian Airlines flight attendant after I saw this ad as a kid. Flying was so special back then !

[@Sam-pn2kc]

now your your a hostie rootin in the toilets lol

[@AussieFlyer]

been waiting for this to come onto youtube forever, i was 9 yrs old when this was on TV and I flew my first ever flight in a BRAND new Boeing 737-400 and I knew this ad word for word. thanks!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

I still remember this great Ad. Qantas should put an Australian retro colour scheme on one of their 737’s.

[@HSDDTS]

I grew up with this add, with my Dad working for Australian Airlines!!!

[@gnhansen29]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for years for the Australian Airlines jingle.

[@francoaustralien]

Oh I remember this ad well. That was a different lifetime ago.

[@DAVIDx41]

my only experience with them.... We went down the runway only to have an announcement that we have to go back because there was not enough fuel.

[@ronbishop1068]

it would have been due to a late amendment, advised by ATC to the weather at the destination-either an alternate needed or 30/60 minutes holding due weather.

[@doanho8241]

Look at the beginning! Son of you should see us.

[@Servodude1]

OMG! I remember seeing this advert as a kid.

[@p4m209]

Qantas should have an Australian airlines livery

[@doctorbohr1585]

0:48 "Youll love our 'she'll be right' approach to aircraft maintenance." 0:54 looks more like an 80s soapie star than a pilot. 0:57 "And if you think we cant get much better, wait til you see our mullets"

[@virginbluedude]

All those crew can still be found - on Qantas 737-800s!

[@Sam-pn2kc]

yeh but must be 90 years old now

[@SpinningDate]

If that was a stunt bum, I'm devo. I was totally in love with that guy...well, mad crush at least :-)

[@AnthonyDonohue]

I remember when the crew stayed at a hotel I worked in, they often got limos for a pickup!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

Great TV Ad I remember quite well. I wish Qantas make a retro livery on a 737.

[@UNKNOWN_NICKEL]

They did.

[@franzchong5889]

@@UNKNOWN_NICKEL but not one of these.prior to the 737-800 this scheme was the one we all remembered on all 86-93 delivered 733's and 734's.they were a few of the 734's that were delivered in the 84-07 colors from memory but this is the one before the merger all of us remembered.I hate the retro roo's with a passion.

[@Kevinduddo]

@maltesephoenician Qantas purchased it in 1992 but Australian ceased operations in 1996

[@jason090874]

Hey thestig Australian Airlines ( TAA ) Never flew 767s or on International routes

[@thestig747]

I remember when I was flying QANTAS to auckland just after the merge and it was an Australian Airways 767 in the Australian airways livery, the only difference is that the interior had been changed, but that was some time ago.

[@beagle7622]

I don’t want to be picky but wouldn’t that have been an A300 Airbus. AaAustralian Airlines had 5 that were later painted in Qantas colours.

[@timborabbit]

The "Australian Airlines" that operated to Osaka etc was not the same entity as depicted in this add... rather a Qantas relaunch of the name with discount fares aimed at the Asian market (the aircraft, which were Boeing 767s) were painted in Aboriginal Art designs. Subsequently Qantas launched Jetstar and eventually they filled this niche in the market. Australian Airlines (pre 1993) only operated Airbus A300s and 737-300/400s in the livery depicted in this add.

[@zaynemoncrieff2008]

Tim Warren huh i guess you learn something every day

[@Ansett76]

@cannoir your point is?

[@BaronBoy100]

@SouthAfricanAirways1 Totally wrong. Australian Airlines was originally called Trans Australia Airlines or TAA for short. It was rebranded as a marketing exercise. Eventually, Australian Airlines (which was government owned) was merged with the then other government owned airline, QANTAS. The company bought by Air New Zealand (with Singapore Airlines holding stock) was ANSETT.

[@Sam-hc8dr]

what happen to Australia the good old days now its fucked

[@Sam-pn2kc]

thats what they were saying back then life goes on num nuts

[@Sam-pn2kc]

shit im replying back to my self from 8 years ago lol

[@fadjrin123]

the music like continental airlines commercials?

[@Mastertj987]

0:55 epic mullet

[@qantas8888]

@jason090874 acutally Australian Airlines operated to from QLD to tokyo or osaka from 2000 and ceased operation in favour of jestar in 2004. They operated the767. Qantas transferred the 767 from their fleet because australian airlines was a wholly subsidary of qantas

[@IGNARYA]

What is the song?

[@misled1982]

From the musical "Sweet Charity" "They should see me now"

[@marcsullivan-vq9oj]

Where are they now lol

[@100mdb]

Did you know that Australian Airlines is the only Australian airlines to go to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia?

[@jjjillyeo]

the continental one was better.

[@AJBIII]

Continental Airlines sang it better! And they sang it first!!

[@Stephie2007]

they ripped off the continental ad from the 70s.

[@zaynemoncrieff2008]

No no no fuck damn

[@PHlophe]

Not one single aboriginal in the plane .

[@Ansett76]

@AJBIII maybe, but Australian could fly planes better....they never had an accident with loss of life....;)

[@ShawnArko]

Continental much?

[@murphydoesgaming]

Isn't Qantas the main airlines of australia

[@ansett7687]

Yes. In the beginning Qantas was only international and served no domestic routes. There were 2 major airlines Ansett and Qantas for domestic. Ansett being privately owned and TAA , which after deregulation in the early 90's changed its name to Australian after de regulation of the two domestic airline policy enforced by the government. The government a few years after deregulation decided to sell Australian (Qantas had recently been sold a few years earlier and became a privately owned airline). Qantas then bought Australian and merged the two and simply became Qantas. Ansett went under in the early 2000's and Virgin is now the other major airline in Australia..

[@murphydoesgaming]

+Ansett76 but I thought Qantas is the main airline of Australia.

[@murphydoesgaming]

+Ansett76 not virgin.

[@blokeabouttown2490]

Qantas is the largest airline in Australia and it is generally considered to be the flag carrier of Australia. Virgin Australia is the second largest airline in Australia.

[@rod050858]

The 2 best airlines in Australia were TAA/Australian and Ansett ANA. Virgin, Jet Star and Tiger only came in when the Australian government in 1990 told Qantas to take over Australian airline and when Ansett went under due to Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines and Sir Peter Abeles sent in down the Tube. Qantas have no idea how to run an airline. Taa/Australian and Ansett used to employ every year over 60 apprentices now there are none. I HATE QANTAS

[@Sam-pn2kc]

when Aussie women were better looking

[@Sam-hc8dr]

[@BoogsieClarke]
