Tina Fey and Glenn Close Star in Booking.com Super Bowl Commercial

Booking.com is back for the third year in a row with a Super Bowl commercial, this time in 2024 with the ad starring Tina Fey and Glenn Close. The commercial has cameos from actors Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer, both with credits, as well.
The 30-second spot, which will run in the second quarter of Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, sees Fey follow Booking.com’s mantra of “book whoever you want to be” because of the wide variety of accommodations’ choices on the platform. (See the commercial embedded below.)
Fey narrates the first 10 seconds of the ad, and scrolls past luxury hotel and cabin listings on Booking.com on her phone. Then what Fey describes as her “body doubles” take charge.
Actress Jane Krakowski plays “splurgy Tina” at a plush Rodeo Drive hotel in L.A. Actor Jack McBrayer brushes the hair of “rustic Tina” as a Sasquatch in a Wyoming cabin. And Glenn Close serves as “wild Tina’s” body double on a rambunctious horse ride during a farm stay.
“With millions of possibilities, you can book whoever you want to be,” Close says, with Fey jumping in saying, “That’s my line!”
Zulu Alpha Kilo developed the creative for the ads, and Mindshare handles the media strategy.
USA Today estimated that 30-second spots in the 2024 Super Bowl contest average $7 million, and that wouldn’t include Booking.com’s production costs with all of that star power. But that wouldn’t be a game-changer for a company, Booking Holdings, that shelled out $7.8 billion for sales, marketing and other expenses in 2022.
After years of focusing on the European market, Amsterdam-headquartered Booking.com has been expanding in the U.S. and the Super Bowl ads in the last three years have been part of that push. Barring lineup changes, Booking.com may be the only travel company advertising nationally in the big game in 2024 (other than BetMGM with Tom Brady and Wayne Gretzky), according to AdWeek’s Super Bowl commercial tracker.
The commercial is a continuation of the online travel agency’s Booking.yeah campaign, which it relaunched two years ago. Melissa McCarthy starred in last year’s Super Bowl ad. The campaign involves TV, including prime time programming, audio streaming, social and online outlets.
“We were the most-viewed ad of the Super Bowl on YouTube last year with more than 108M views, which shows what an impactful launch platform the ‘big game’ is for us,” a Booking.com spokesperson said this week. “Since relaunching Booking.yeah two years ago, the campaign has helped contribute to accelerate brand growth and awareness in the U.S. and has really resonated with Americans.”
Booking.com’s marketing powered certainly gave an assist to that most-viewed ad status.

Wheels Up And Delta Partnership Broadens Ways To Attend Major Events Like The Super Bowl
This past weekend’s Super Bowl LVIII was a star-studded event which attracted guests from around the world with as many as 1000 private jets arriving in Las Vegas. From Beyoncé to Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber, everyone wanted to see the Chiefs play the 49ers, and, of course, witness Usher’s mesmerizing halftime performance. People planning to attend huge sports and social events like the Super Bowl via private plane can face a unique, high net-worth problem — no inventory left unless you’ve booked far in advance. That’s where Wheels Up’s new partnership with Delta offers its members an alternative; flying commercial in first class with additional exclusive perks.

The partnership offers flexibility and ensures that members won’t have to miss out on popular sports and social events with several options to choose from.
