If I ever go to NZ (which I plan to), I'm undoubtedly taking this airline. They have a great sense of humour, and I love everything middle earth, so it's a win win for me :)
Adorable! Even if I wasn't a LotR fan I'd give anything to visit New Zealand. (Too bad I'm jobless.) It looks like one of the most beautiful places on earth.
A fun advert and the movies have put New Zealand high on my list of places to visit but for me Middle Earth will always be Yorkshire and the Lake District in England. This is what was in J. R. Tolkien's head when he wrote the books and also where I grew up and read them. So Middle Earth really was closer than I thought.
Alas, Imladris must be built first. It was only a few props in the middle of the forest during filming. I wish it did exist...especially its great library and its Hall of Fire.

Loved it - saw it at work on my lunch break and people were giving me weird looks because I was giggling to myself. Great promotional tactic and a great ad :)
Air New Zealand, they've done it again! Well done guys, great commercial :) I am determined to get one last flight on the beautiful B737-300s before they're gone from the ANZ fleet, I'm not willing to board a Gaybus A320 for domestic flights if the time to travel ever arises.
it is so sweet that you mentioned all people featured in the video and thanked them!
Don't all compaies do that?

Robbie, I am waiting for you, to show you, my beautiful part of the world.
I hope you have got there.
Robbie - this is a wonderful airline! Flown twice now, and each time feel like I’m flying upper class.
Adorable!

I can not believe it Sylvester Mccoy (radagast the brown) as the narrator and Dean O'Gorman (Fili) did a cameo and it is so well put together.
"Fly you fools! Fly!" Have flown them, nice folks, good food, did me a solid at Heathrow.
Come on, Nobody simply flies into mordor
@Jeffrey Craig Remember what Gandalf said right before he fell. "Fly, you fools!". Not run. Not flee. Fly. It must have been intentional.
Yes they could just have flown to Mordor on their damn eagles, but noooo, they had to walk all the way....dumbest plot ever
That stewardess with the ears is unbelievably cute af.
LOVE THIS!!! So epic. Can't wait for the new #Hobbit movie to be released
Was that the ARKENSTONE going thru security???
Erhm, its been released goofball!
We need more of these Fabuloso videos from Air Zealand ….. please

I love this commercial ! Great to see Air New Zealand getting in the spirit of things and have a good sense of humor. This add made me laugh.
😇
Isabella is super cute :D
yeah damn cute @0:23
This is got to be the cutest commercial I have seen. It years old... 😂😂😂
When are they going to start doing flights to Rivendell?
I'd imagine an influx of men in a house of elves would not be taken kindly to.
Alas, Imladris must be built first. It was only a few props in the middle of the forest during filming. I wish it did exist...especially its great library and its Hall of Fire.
Simply amazing ad... probably the most unique ad ever made... love it every bit.... Cant get better than this and can't wait for the release......
🥲
I love New Zealand... it's my favorite country, and this is just another reason why.
This... was... so... EPICLY AWESOME
DITTO!
Dean O'Gorman makes this video even better 😍
Absolutely brilliant. Thank-you for the time it took to put that ad together!
This totally makes we want to go back to New Zealand!! I loved it!❤

Ninja turtle hands

Amazing
Wonderful!
Imagine that the airport personnel carrying the staff.... smashes the staff in front of the airplane and shouts *"YOU... SHALL NOT PASS!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a entertaining trailer. Would love to go to NZ one day. Can't wait to see the movie :D
I am going to fly on this airline simply because of the videos Rock on
Clever! I think I have a photo of that river that I took from my window seat once ... but I never spotted the barrels. :)
Isabella is a super cutie!
I'm taking a flight going to Hobbiton and then flying to Mordor from there.
I love this company soooo much! can't wait to travel with them!
I almost cried while watching this video 😭
Oh my God, I really wanna go to New Zealand 😭😭😭
You would be made to feel so welcomed
I feel the same way,
Loved it - saw it at work on my lunch break and people were giving me weird looks because I was giggling to myself.
Great promotional tactic and a great ad :)
This is hands down my favourite airline already, but this is like the cherry on top of the icing. Best ads ever.
The part when the dwarf pilots start laughing made me smile :) #airnzhobbit
🥰
Love it! Especially after watching "the desolation of smaug" to appreciate all the inside jokes
😋
dat feel when the dwarves in an ad look more like dwarves than the movie dwarves do.
Awww Go New Zealand! You guys rock! Flight of the Concords I love you!
I love that they used real airline employees for this.
LOL Fantastic!!! Dean O'Gorman is PEEEERFEEEECT
Einfach nur witzig und sehr unterhaltsam
Best commercial I have ever seen had me in stiches laughed my you know what off thank you 😂👍
Love it! Air NZ you did it again!!!
Превосходный ролик!!! Молодцы.

This is amazing, I'm guessing this took a long time to video this and getting it right. It's a really good vid, didn't waste my time i love this
Loved this vid !! Made me laugh so hard thanks !!
I particularly liked the wizard with "Elf & Safety" on his high-vis jacket. That's the kind of humour I go for...!
Brilliantly imaginative !!!
This ad was fantastic! One of the best I've seen :)
This may be the most whimsical shit I've ever seen. Wonderful!
Hatalmas! Great!
Didn't know Middle-earth was so advanced.
I love when Dean O'Gorman (Fili) are in these ads❤️
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO-MAKING.
Houston, texas here. I love it! Can't wait to experience going there!
Very Cool, i hv been in that wonderfull place just around corner !!!
What a pity that in Brazil nobody works in this business communication excepcional quality.
Very good, congratulations.
Isabella is cute as a button !
Go to New Zealand once, it could get to be hobbit-forming.
I'm going there in September! Can't wait!
this has got to be the best aviation commercial EVER PERIOD.
What I like about this ad is that every working actor in New Zealand is in it.
Plus Mike Pero Mortgages is at the start. Mortgages.
I LOVE the Hobbit ads! It makes me love being from NZ! =D
Very cleverly done...and pretty amusing too.
***** Yes i agree.
The guy eating the onion was an actual cast member. I believe his name was Fili.
Definately my new favorite airline!
Very cool :)
Thanks for the laugh. I hope y'all are safe during this geological insanity. Stay safe.
nice work ***** love your work
1:12 maybe this is actually shoot from real scene ''Escape in the barrels'' from the movie :)
Looked heaps of fun :) really enjoyable
ニュージーランド航空（かな？）のCM、これとは違うバージョンを前に観ましたが、これも素敵ですねえ！
もし、これらのCMを日本でやっていて、ニュージーランドがサイパン程度の場所にあったら、日本からの観光客、もの凄く増えただろうなあ！！！
Great commercial, can't wait for the movie! hope to win a free ticket to the world premiere.
💓 absolutely brilliant and beautiful 💓
Best ad I've seen in years well done to all concerned
Isabella have a nice smile.
Great 😂 ....greetings from Germany....after 7 years I find the clip ... to late 😂
Just great best safety video ever.....
The best Ad! Ever!
Love it sooooooo much!
Greetings from Germany.
A little in joke for those who have read the book: How much better would it have been if Dean had taken an apple from the table? :-P
😁👍💜
Jokes on you... I read the book 50 years ago so I don’t remember the details.
Happier times. Used to love flying Air NZ Premium / Business Premier Heathrow to / from LAX. So sad what has happened. Check your Baggins!
Is it totally lame that I teared up at the end? Because I did. I want to go to Middle-Earth so badly!
So, you are telling me Frodo and Sam could have just taken the flight from gate 43?
That was an enjoyable short. 1:50 gave me a good laugh.
You just have some excellent video's!!!
I love that Brian guy!
Well done! Let's be proud of our country!
aewsome :D hope to be able to go to NZ one day...
That is freaking awesome Air New Zealand. :D
Kapitanie Wrona! Robota jest!
Very cute guys!
This is just totally awesome.
Surprisingly lively video!
Isabella is lovely.
I need vacation, Middle-earth sounds good right now!
0:42 YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!! xDD
Nicely done!
AIR NZ rocks!
That was Awsome good job!
