Melissa McCarthy, inspired by all the options on Booking.com, gets swept away on a whirlwind musical tour of vacation rentals, hotels, and wigs galore. Although most travel advertising is focused on aspirational locations, we decided to elevate the booking experience itself. Filmed both on-location and at the CGI Volume Stage (which The Mandalorian kept warm for Melissa), and backed by a 33-piece orchestra, this piece showed the world that Booking is half the fun.
