Old Kuwait Airways Ad

Good morning. Not so good for me though, I woke up half an hour late for work because my phone battery was dead, and I use its alarm to wake me. Got ready for work and left my place, got into my car, and it wouldn’t work because now the car’s battery was dead!!!

Not such an encouraging start for the day!

Anyway, remember my collection of old ads? I posted four ones before. Hilton, Pepsi Cola, Gulf Bank, and Commercial Bank.

This time I’ll post an ad for Kuwait Airways that I liked alot, when they first started their route to Paris back in 1965.

  1. Wow… it looks very Parisian, tres chic

    Nowadays a similar ad would have the woman’s arms and legs all covered up!

  2. So you only remember Kuwait Airways when things go bad?

  3. Zaydoun, thats exactly what I love about the ad, very artistic in a weird way.

    Purg, I wrote the post yesterday, added the morning part today, so no :P

  4. ما تغير شى من ذيك الايام
    الفرق ان الاعلانات كانت ارقى

  5. I bought a new alarm clock powered from the mains AND a backup 9V battery, then I broke the snooze button. This is after I realised that after having 5 ‘snoozes’ or so, the alarm resets and stops ringing. Worst part is, I can’t remember ever pressing it :(

    I still use my mobile, and put it far away on a desk that would require me to walk 4 steps to get to.. going back to sleep would be slightly off my mind by then.. slightly.

    and the ad? artsy. Is that a 5 digit phone number?

  6. nice ad
    not so nice airways

  7. it’s lovely

    cute how it says “10 kh6oo6″ after the phone number :)

  8. Q,
    Jude likes your new blog :)

  9. Nice ad. Whatever happened to the good ‘ol days?

  10. Oh I forgot.. yeah ur day really did suck. I had the same kind of day today, only I chose to turn off my alarm!! LOL. Sometimes u just need those few extra minutes, dont ya? I know I do.
    And I walk a long way to my alarm, but that does not discourage from going right back to where I came from-my nice, soft, cuddly, warm, enticing, delightful(ok u get my point) BED!!!!!
