Southwest Airlines has brought back its 'Wanna Get Away' tagline after a nine-year hiatus in a funny campaign that puts a spotlight on embarrassing moments. In a TV spot called 'Secret Identity,' an anonymous source's identity is revealed during a live news show when a clueless employee accidentally turns on the lights to offer the show's staff some coffee. In partnership with vacation rental marketplace HomeAway, the airline is also asking people to share their most embarrassing moments on social media using the hashtag '#WannaGetAway' for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to an island.
