Heathrow unveils ‘Terminal Paw’ as bear market conditions drive selling frenzy

This video from London Heathrow Airport came as the company announced the return of its fur-nomenally popular bears, Doris and Edward Bair and the shock unveiling of a new terminal in October.

In a campaign that clearly bears repeating, the duo came out of long-term hibernation for the first time since 2018 to celebrate the upcoming furstive season.

In honour of their return, Heathrow launched an advertisement in which it transformed Terminal 4 into ‘Terminal Paw’ – even installing new signs to celebrate the comeback.

From Heathrow’s Pod Parking to the airport’s bustling boarding gates, the film follows the couple on a familiar and joyful journey through departures.

The ad captures the magic of shared travel moments, for example applying a stubborn sticky luggage tag at self-service bag drop and playfully spritzing perfume in World Duty Free (now, courtesy of an untractable claws, trading under a bear minimum guarantee).

Brands on display appear to include Bearburry, Tom Fur’d, Hairmes, Pawfums de Marly and the ever-popular Ted Baker.
