UK carrier Monarch Airlines has launched a unique tongue-in-cheek set of Top Trumps that pit some of the world’s most high profile figures and celebrities against each other in this classic British pastime. The special ‘Class Top Trumps’ pack features a number of high profile celebrities and influencers contesting their social and celebrity status on the following criteria: airmiles, wealth, pin-up, fashion sense and column inches to determine whether class really does equal power.
The product was launched last month to celebrate the launch of Monarch’s brand new ‘Build Your Own Class’ service, which gives customers the ability to tailor their flight package to their exact requirements, providing a greater sense of freedom and personalisation.
The public has long debated and argued on the pin up status of Robert Pattinson compared to David Beckham or whether Lady Gaga has clocked up more column inches than Rihanna as Monarch’s Class Top Trumps deck can finally resolve who trumps who of the world’s most talked about people. Elsewhere, Gordon Ramsay creates a stir taking on Jamie Oliver outside of the kitchen, the nation’s sweetheart Cheryl Cole doing battle with the American socialite princess Paris Hilton to prove her class and Lord Sugar going up against Sir Richard Branson to see who has the biggest piggy bank are just some of the pairings possible with Monarch’s Class Top Trumps.
The deck features a host of public figures such as: Russell Brand, Barack Obama, Prince William, Lily Allen and Katie Price among many others. Card players young and old will be able to buy their very own pack exclusively onboard Monarch Airlines flights from July 1 at a cost of £4.99.
For those that can’t wait to get a pack we can reveal that JLS get more female attention than Take That, Becks trumps Posh in the fashion stakes and Lord Sugar is definitely business class, according to the carrier.
