I feel like an argument that could be made by this ad is that it’s probably not the nicest/most popular airline considering it claims to have very cheap prices. Most people would be willing to spend a little extra when it comes to flying to ensure good service, comfortability, and most importantly safety, especially when traveling as far as to another country
ReplyDeleteHonestly the phrase " first class or tourist" is a highly aggressive header. it is pretty dominant on the bottom is the page. in my opinion, it is pretty much saying you either fly with us where its classy and no one will wonder why you are an American white guy in the middle of Africa or all of the other countries that they have on the ad. they are trying to sell this travel in luxury and see all of these cool native things while being welcomed because you paid so much for your vacation.
