I can't believe they used to allow smoking on planes until the late 70s or so.

Must've been nice, I don't see a single person that looks like they would blow the plane up.

Personally, I'm glad they don't allow it. But on the plus side, government was must less intrusive back then.

The good old days, when a flight attendant was a stewardess. I bet it was actually fun to fly back then.

It certainly wasn't a cattle herding experience like today. Folks actually took pride in their appearance when flying.

You mean until 1990, and that was only for flights under 2 hours.

It was later than that. I am pretty sure it was allowed well into the 80's.

Would they allow this today in the terminals? And would anyone here get on a plane with these folks?

Flying today is like how riding the bus used to be.

People bitching about "poors" flying these days and shitty conditions do realize that you can achieve the level of luxury in those pictures If you spend the equivalent money, right. Or did you not realize that you're actually a poor too.

Yeah smoking on planes was awesome. You had to sit in the back of the plane if you smoked though. I did at the time.

Seems gross now, but that was then.
