My parents made a few flights back in the day. Dad was in uniform, mom had on a dress, high heels, and long gloves. She HATED traveling like that. When we flew to Hawaii in 1958 in the back of an unpressurized Air Force plane we were facing backwards. When we returned to the mainland in 1962 we came by ocean liner, the Matsonia. That was a blast as a kid.
My dad talks about the days of regulated airline travel. He flew commercial on Pan Am from Chicago to LA on a brand new 747 with just 8 passengers. The rules were if the airline scheduled a flight they made the flight. He said it was a great fun flight, the stewardesses brought everyone up to first class, and each passenger had a stewardess. They all played cards and ate lobster & steak and drank champagne.
They were not "flight attendants" back then.
