Ten of the sexiest commercials in airline history

Last year, we compiled a list of vintage airline commercials, and since the Internet is full of some of the greatest commercials commissioned by airlines, we picked "sexiest airline commercials" as the topic of this top ten lineup.

The list has some vintage clips (Southwest Airlines hotpants) and some pretty recent stuff. So, sit back and enjoy these ten sexiest airline commercials.

Virgin Atlantic 25th anniversary video

This commercial is brilliant - it takes all the best (and the worst) of 1984 to celebrate 25 years of Virgin Atlantic

Air New Zealand "Nothing To Hide"

Bodypainted cabin crew members, and a cameo appearance by the CEO of the airline.

Southwest Airlines

Remember before Southwest Airlines? We didn't have hostesses in hotpants. And now we still don't, but at least they don't charge for checking a bag. Though if I'm honest, I'd probably prefer the hotpants.

Airport metal detector prank

Alright, so it isn't for an airline, and it isn't even for a product remotely related to flying, but it has long been one of the most popular commercials involving an airport.

Silverjet

Seriously? Using a lesbian mile high romp to advertise your airline? Sadly, the airline only lasted two years before they realized that their all business class service couldn't survive in the new economy.

Fake airline, funny commercial

This commercial for "Lynx Airlines" was made in 2008.Obviously it isn't for a real airline, but it does mimic the services Ryanair said they'd offer in Business Class should they ever start flying transatlantic.

National Airlines "Go Go vacations"

They really don't make them like this any more - because if they did, someone would probably sue.

If you wanted to sleep with him, you would have married him

Not every sexy airline commercial involves a stewardess in hotpants.

"I just love a man in a JetBlue uniform"

These girls love pilots - but only JetBlue pilots. Talk about being picky.

Nothing says awkward like exposing yourself to your inlaws.

(Warning, may not be suitable for work). This is one of those commercials that was clearly devised before the ad agency had a taker, because nothing in the clip is even remotely aviation related. That doesn't prevent it from being hilarious.
