Seeing the plus side, however, Norwegian Airlines created an advertisement for cheap flights, capitalizing on Brad Pitt’s new single status. The company released the ad for significantly discounted flights from Oslo in Norway, to Los Angeles, where Pitt is based. “Brad is single,” one version of the ad read. Another took the form of a dating ad, announcing that a newly single LA actor was seeking a partner with a “GSOH” (good sense of humor). Recently, Norwegian Air’s chief commercial officer [promised](http://www.businessinsider.com/norwegian-air-boeing-737-max-sell-69-dollar-tickets-europe-2016-9) that once a new fleet of aircrafts are ready in 2017, the public will see trans-Atlantic flights with $69 fares.
