Attention “Mad Men” fans: there are three new promo images to obsess over ahead of the April 13 season premiere.

And they’re pretty stunning.

The three photos, which creator Matthew Weiner insists contain no plot hints or scenes from upcoming episodes, conjure up the glamorous Golden Age of jet travel.

“It’s more designed as something we do every year before we launch the the show to present the characters in an abstract setting and remind everybody who’s there, and show off our hair and makeup and costumes and photography and the incredible cast, in a way that whets your appetite for the show,” Weiner told The Wrap. “One of the great things we get to do… is kind of show off the glamour of the characters in a way we don’t always in the show.”

One image shows Don Draper and wife Megan underneath an old TWA sign at an airport curb. Another pictures Don and Peggy in the departure lounge. While still a third has Don and Roger ordering a cocktail from a stewardess in a great vintage get-up.

But lest you not believe him, Weiner also insisted to Vulture.com that they were not episode stills.

“We picked the airport partially because of the irony of the fact that there is zero glamour at an airport now, and in travel in general. It doesn’t defy analysis, because all those people will be in the show, but I would not read meaning into it. Sorry!” Last week, AMC released a teaser video showing Don de-planing at a mystery airport. “Mad Men” returns for the first half of its final season on April 13.
