SP-LIM. I love it so much and also i see it quite often at my local airport

British Airways 🇬🇧✈️ Always & forever ♥️!

[-]

Dropssshot@reddit

The first one because it has jigglypuff on it

[-]

LegalNecessary@reddit

My favorite was the sports livery and FDNY livery JetBlue has! I tracked one coming into JFK on final approach not too long ago and it was beautiful in person!

[-]

BillardMcLarry@reddit

Saw this one landing at BNA a few weeks ago

I love the Condor flying beach towels I’m sorry

xredbaron62x@reddit

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who loves them!!

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!

[-]

Not sure if limited time liveries are fair game but I think the hundred years' anniversary livery by Lufthansa is beautiful. Not a particularly niche pick, the reception has been overwhelmingly positive, but it's worth mentioning for sure.

[-]

martinjh99@reddit

Yeah definitely! Great on all the models of course but better on the 747...

[-]

ProfessorPickleRick@reddit

Agreed when I saw that for the first time it was like seeing a Ferrari for the first time

[-]

discombobulationz@reddit

The best!!!

[-]

astral__monk@reddit

May just be one of the nicest designs I've seen

[-]

loonagendary@reddit

The way they incorporated the wing into its design is just chef’s kiss.

[-]

SkyscraperNC@reddit

Is that limited time? I was under the impression it would be a permanent livery on those specific aircraft

[-]

Difficult_Camel_1119@reddit

LH planes get a paint job approx all 8 years. It was planned to get them back to the normal livery at next scheduled paint.

Since the special livery has so many fans, they might overthink it

[-]

SkyscraperNC@reddit

I hope they do rethink it. I really like it, easily one of my favorites right now

[-]

Bananas_are_theworst@reddit

This is the one for me. An A380 in this livery is 👌🏻

[-]

Highspeedfutzi@reddit

Ok, that’s sexy.

[-]

martinjh99@reddit

Has to be Lufthansa 100 year livery - Even better on a 747....

[-]

showMeYourPitties10@reddit

AA Astrojet is my favorite that I have actually pushed out.

[-]

wasabiburning@reddit

That's it, we have a winner, end thread.

[-]

Lord_Master_Dorito@reddit

Out of all liveries, this one wins

[-]

JGRojas90@reddit

Astrojet and the TWA one.

[-]

theawkwardpadawan@reddit

I flew this bad boy out of MIA in a number of occasions, including towards and from KIN.

AirCal homage is a close second, but something felt special about this bird.

Kekistani_MemeLord@reddit

[-]

Maruan-007@reddit

Let’s be honest this have to be one of the best livery ever existed, the way they integrate the crane in the livery (matching with the wings) it’s fantastic.

[-]

Clementine-TeX@reddit

she’s such a pretty bird

[-]

hgeng22@reddit

Someone posted an A380 with this livery a few days ago, gorgeous

[-]

Horizone_One@reddit (OP)

I should've put this on the post

[-]

BlurryEcho@reddit

Can’t get enough of the Delta LA28 livery

[-]

ZRaddue@reddit

I'm a big fan of Air New Zealand.

[-]

BlurryEcho@reddit

How about their All Blacks livery? Love this one.

[-]

ZRaddue@reddit

Yeah that one's great too, though I can't help but feel you would absolutely roast in it while sitting on the tarmac.

[-]

Perfect-Werewolf-102@reddit

Like just special liveries?

This is pretty nice though I'm not sure it's my favourite

[-]

SilverCipher752@reddit

Similar here, I think both are absolutely gorgeous

[-]

tabitubby@reddit

Yam Dreaming!! My first (and only) special livery aircraft I've had the privilege of being on! Absolutely gorgeous artwork on those Qantas planes.

[-]

trollshep@reddit

I gotta ask, in these planes with special livery do they also have special interior stuff going on?

[-]

Perfect-Werewolf-102@reddit

The Qantas ones don't, others may

[-]

tabitubby@reddit

I'm no expert, but I don't think I've heard of any having special interiors. The only ones that come to mind are the Alaska and United Airlines' Star Wars planes that play music from the movies during boarding. It'd be cool to have some themed interiors though!

[-]

astral__monk@reddit

I will never not upvote the ANA Turtle Jets, but hot damn those Qantas tails are beautiful. Air New Zealand has always looked great in my mind as well. Air Canada has a small historically gray painted A220 that's pretty sharp as well.

[-]

Perfect-Werewolf-102@reddit

Yeah both are some of the best in the skies

[-]

Lord_Master_Dorito@reddit

Would’ve been fun if Garuda Indonesia had better liveries

[-]

Horizone_One@reddit (OP)

This special livery looks cool

[-]

Lord_Master_Dorito@reddit

Yeah, but I want to liveries that represents the different ethnic groups of Indonesia

Also, because I’m a huge Star Wars fan, would like to see a Star Wars livery

[-]

trollshep@reddit

I love the Pokemon one! Such nostalgia seeing the classic mons on it

[-]

ThunderballTerp@reddit

Flying Honu ftw!

[-]

izzyisameme@reddit

everytime we fly into boston, i get so excited if we see one of these guys. they're so fun. i wish airlines would paint the aircraft noses again.

[-]

noodlepringle83@reddit

G-EUPJ takes my top spot, so nice to see the old style BEA livery

[-]

Does the Cathay lettuce sandwich update count?

Yes they do 🤣

[-]

Horizone_One@reddit (OP)

that's cute

[-]

hourefugee@reddit

Sichuan Airlines does these cute panda planes. I’ve seen them but never flown on one, theme continues inside. Perfect for Chengdu.

[-]

Weird_Geologist_3278@reddit

I'm Sure EVA air have Hello Kitty livery?

nok Air liveries. funky lil birds

[-]

makerspark@reddit

I came looking for Nok, they all look good ! The beak, so fun, so Thailand. Not taking things too serious.

[-]

ButtersWorth124@reddit

Not necessarily my favorite, but I did see this at SeaTac recently before heading back home on a layover! Blast to childhood and definitely had me do a double take. Not my pic.

[-]

their Malta air and Buzz liveries aren't bad

If you'd asked this a year ago I would've said Korean Air has the best regular livery... I'll give it to Air New Zealand now. Love that fern on the tail.

[-]

Academic-Collection8@reddit

[-]

uptownrooster@reddit

Also one of my top 5. It's such a unique color that fits their destination well.

[-]

uptownrooster@reddit

The new ITA livery is my favorite. It looks even better in person. I do wish they'd paint over the old Alitalia signage on the engines.

[-]

Titanicminion@reddit

This.

[-]

Ryubunao1478@reddit

This new Scandinavian Airlines A33 with the 80 years anniversary livery

[-]

theclassiccat33@reddit

Way better than their actual livery.

[-]

andrewrbat@reddit

This might not be a popular opinion, but I like the really simple, classy liveries like Lufthansa and Air Canada

[-]

CitoyenEuropeen@reddit

old af - doesn't count

[-]

Came here for the Tintin orca sub livery. Was not dissapointed

[-]

R2robot@reddit

I love the Smurfs

[-]

oryzi@reddit

these are neat

[-]

Golgen_boy@reddit

Their present Tintin livery is good as well

[-]

likeusb1@reddit

Nothing beats AirBaltic's YL-ABX for me. Really wish they had a more universally Baltic rather than Latvia-oriented Baltic but it's still a gorgeous livery and definitely my favourite livery out of any

nflickgeo@reddit

Love that one. It replaced the older one and definitely looks better but is less funny:

dulce1021@reddit

I'm obsessed with this new livery from Alaska Airlines

[-]

Horizone_One@reddit (OP)

Salmon

[-]

dulce1021@reddit

Yeah, it's super cool. I love the fact that if you view it from directly above or below, the design looks like a face from either direction. https://news.alaskaair.com/alaska-airlines/alaska-airlines-unveils-salmon-livery-designed-by-alaska-native-artist-to-celebrate-indigenous-culture-language/

That’s cool. The tail looks like an indigenous killer whale.

jettblek@reddit

Lufthansa anniversary is my favourite at the moment, this is a close second

[-]

OneStrongGopher@reddit

Not as flashy as the others, but idk, probably one of the nicer default liveries out there.

[-]

gravyisjazzy@reddit

Starlux Liquid Metal is one of the best solid single color liveries I've seen in a while. Looks like it'll be a bitch to maintain though.

[-]

Dandy_Lyon56@reddit

My current favorite, which will probably change tomorrow

[-]

Highspeedfutzi@reddit

It’s not an airliner but the Airbus Beluga XL #6 might be the cutest.

[-]

crucible@reddit

Why #6? The whole XL fleet has the ‘whale’ livery.

[-]

Highspeedfutzi@reddit

6 is the only one who winks :)

Garuda Indonesia: hold my beer

Ha! Touché. Licensing dollars hard at work!

[-]

kemosabe6296@reddit

Garuda Indonesia: hold my f—king second beer

(This one is three Pikachus wearing local Indonesian “batik” shirt, so I guess it has clearer purpose here)

[-]

jasonwirth@reddit

This makes me wonder: is Pokémon a really big hit in Indonesia or is it the design on planes that fly a route to Japan?

[-]

kemosabe6296@reddit

I think Pokémon hype in Indonesia is the same as in other countries. From what I read, it is to boost Garuda’s name to international world. After Covid the airline is struggling financially (they still are) so they thought by collaborating with world-renown characters would positively impact their brand image.
