Getting through a busy airport can be stressful at the best of times, but it can be even more problematic when your eyesight lets you down, as optical retailer Specsavers relays in its latest humorous campaign.

Set to run for eight weeks in the U.K. from Feb. 2, the minutelong TV spot, “Airport,” continues the long-running brand platform, “Should’ve Gone to Specsavers,” to show audiences why it’s important to get glasses if you need them.

Created in house by The Agency and directed by Declan Lowney, known for shows such as Ted Lasso and Father Ted, the ad shares the differing experiences of Greg and Ella as they embark on holiday and make their way through the airport.
