When I moved to England in the late 80s, my first international flight, it was on Pan Am. The flight attendant got on the intercom and told us that they were not full and we should all find a row and stretch out.
I flew back to the US several times over the next couple of years. On one occasion I was on Pan Am and had an entire 6 seat row to myself. Put the arm rests up and made a bed.
When Flight 103 happened, I was back in the US for a few weeks. Let's just say flying back to England was a little scary. But not nearly as bizarre as flying to Germany when I moved there on September 15, 2001 with my wife and 9 month old son. The pucker factor was very high on that date.
