One of the best play on words – and ad placement – I have ever seen was in JFK airport many years back while going thru customs and immigration. As you come out after wrapping up your formalities and start walking down the long corridor to exit – there was an Amex ad that said “If you had a green card, you would not need a visa!!” To get this, you have to remember that in the old days, Amex cards used to have an iconic green color.

Coming out of the flight from Atlanta today, as I started walking down the corridors of Miami airport, I looked up a saw the Amex Centurion lounge. And right there was this lovely play on words for folks who are tired of their delayed flights…

Amex: You are a Member when you seize the delay !

You see that wheelchair meant to transport people with ambulatory difficulties sitting in the middle of the corridor? Actually it is not sitting there. It is moving. You can see one more behind it – following it.

It is an autonomous, robotic wheelchair! It was amazing to watch it negotiate the traffic. I guess, after autonomous vacuum cleaner, cars, food delivery carts, I should have guessed this was coming!

This is in Miami International airport.
