Nothing says in-flight luxury like showers and bars, especially when compared to hot towels and peanuts. Emirates Airlines made sure the message was clear when it released its funny new advertisement starring its new brand ambassador, Jennifer Aniston.
In the ad, Aniston walks around an airplane cabin clad in a bathrobe and is searching for something. When she finally comes upon the flight crew, she reveals that she is looking for the shower and the attendants inform her that there is none.
"Well, I'm gonna look pretty silly dressed like this going to the bar" Aniston tells the crew and she is once again informed that there is no bar in the plane and is offered a hot towel and a bag of peanuts in its stead.

"This isn't an Emirates plane, ma'am" the male attendant tells Aniston which brings her to an upsetting epiphany that there are no showers or bars in the flight she is on as the crew laughs at her. The camera zooms in on Aniston as she passes out and suddenly wakes up in a comfortable flat bed in the first class suite of an Emirates plane. The look of relief on Aniston's face was amusing when she realized her ordeal was just a dream
"It was such a nightmare. I was on a plane and it was nothing like this," Aniston tells the Emirates bartender who gave her his full attention. Aniston was then freshly showered, fully dressed and having a drink at the bar of an Emirates Airbus A380 enjoying that she did "wake up to flying as it should be."
Emirates teased its followers on Twitter with photos from the advertisement on Oct. 3 and 4 then released the commercial on YouTube on Oct. 5. You can watch the full video below.
Jennifer Aniston reportedly signed a $5 Million contract with Emirates as the new brand ambassador back in August 2015. Emirates' Divisional SVP for Corporate Communications, Marketing & Brand, Boutros Boutros, confirmed the deal but did not disclose details on the contract. It looks like Emirates has more humorous plans up its sleeve and Aniston is on it.
