Good news and bad news! The good news: British Airways have launched a whole new TV commercial to promote its Olympic ties, complete with a "London Calling" by The Clash soundtrack, which pretty much never fails to get people to pay attention. The bad news: that airplane taxiing across Westminster Bridge is not real; it's computer-generated.
The fresh ad depicts a regular BA flight leaving from London-Heathrow, but then it goes on a driving trip through London, instead of up into the skies, with a final destination of the Olympic Stadium. The route obviously doesn't actually exist, though by god we wish it were possible.
The ad closes with the statement: "Don't Fly. Support Team GB." This doesn't mean don't travel at all, but instead attend the games or stay home and root for the Union Jack.
