Carlsberg livened up the baggage carousel at London City Airport last week by giving away crates of lager.

Passengers waiting to collect their bags were surprised by the arrival of crates of Carlsberg on the carousel, carrying the invitation ‘Take Me, I’m Yours’. The brewer secretly filmed the giveaway and posted it on social media to mark the return of the Carlsberg advertising strapline, ‘If Carlsberg did…’.

Passengers also shared the stunt on social media, claimed Carlsberg, which said Instagram user Garfla posted an image and the caption ‘If Carlsberg did Air Travel’, while @sarahthemachine tweeted ‘London City Airport: home of a mythical baggage claim giving people free cases of Carlsberg! Many happy travellers!’

“Waiting for your luggage when you get home from holiday is that defining moment when you know that your holiday is over, so that’s why we decided to cheer up returning holidaymakers with a crate of ice-cold Carlsberg,” said senior brand manager Dharmesh Rana.

The activity follows a series of ‘If Carlsberg Did’ stunts including a beer dispensing poster and drone delivery service.
