When I first enlisted in the 70's I had to wear my class A's to travel. I was always given a seat in first class by a stewardess though I paid for coach. Stewardess would just ask me. Airplanes were never ever full. The food was good, there was legroom, the stewardesses were usually younger and quite attractive and the whole airport scene wasn't a huge PITA, as it is now. I hate flying commercial now.
I would have loved to been a part of the Pan Am Clipper ship days. Used to spend quite a bit of time in Wake Island during my career and that place (Drifters Reef) was supposed to be a hoot as a layover during its heyday just before the war and shortly afterwards. That would have been a great time to fly. Of course it took a bit longer and you could watch the waves enroute.
