Airlines Bring in Holiday Cheer: Top 5 Airline Christmas Videos in 2014

What better time to show passengers that you care than during Christmas? Airlines know this all too well, and each year they unleash some of their most creative marketing initiatives during this period.

Of course, the trick to good marketing is to show that you’re not marketing at all — instead, what you really want is to make your customer smile, and feel all fuzzy inside, especially when it’s so cold outside and flights are being delayed by unpredictable weather.

So here’s a round-up of the best airline Christmas videos that airlines have released over this holiday season, led by no other than the remarkable WestJet, which, let’s admit it, is the king of feel-good airline videos (see this and this for clinching evidence). Enjoy!

 

WestJet: Spirit of Giving

This year’s video is set in a small town in the Dominican Republic and all about making a difference to the community. For instance, a young man asks for a new motorbike engine so he can support his family, another woman needs a washing machine. All the wishes come true, and the video is sure to leave you with moist eyes.
