The glory days of aviation Posted Image Once upon a time, air travel was exciting. Transatlantic flights were novel, and passengers often dressed to the nines - a far cry from the sweatpants-and-jandals travel wardrobes of today. Aviators like Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Howard Hughes were national heroes, and airline stewardesses were considered to have some of the most glamorous jobs in the world. Air travel today has its benefits. Flights are faster and more frequent, go to more places, and we're able to dress more casually. Source Link |

Yep! Now we can sit in our casual clothing, knee's up around our ears for eleven hours, or so! And chew peanuts! |

And that's only in the AIRPORT. No extra charge for X-ray exposure. Edited by Trotsky, Jan 12 2016, 02:15 AM.

The real luxury aircraft were the dirigibles like the Zeppelins. First class service all the way. |
