In a 60” tv-commercial we see a stewardess performing her typical kindness and service in everyday situations on the ground. We see her bring coffee to a guy stuck in straffic or giving a small toy to a child looking bored during a museum visit.

The series of scenes is concluded with the line : “The kind of service you only expect in the sky”, followed by the logo of Brussels Airlines. The commercial is currently shown on CNN and TV5 in Africa.
