That's the issue I have with this.

A part of me is insanely jealous that I wasn't on this flight, a part of me feels bad for the guy who only asked for socks and underwear, and another part of me feels a bit icky about the happyfeels I got out of an obvious consumerism based viral marketing campaign that was probably pitched and rehashed 1000 times in a corporate board room somewhere. But while watching it I mostly just tried to enjoy it. Because it is a feel good story, regardless of the bullshit lurking below the surface.
