Pan Am First Class GIG - EZE 1989

[thelucatgs]

as i was born in 1995, i never had the opportunity to fly Pan Am. wish i could go back in time just to do so, instead of paying for food on american airlines coach class

[UnitedJetSetter]

@thelucatgs Me too. I had a PanAm toy when I was little. I was born in '80 and remember that was my favorite airline back then. I wish flying was still glamourous like it was.

Wait, was the food on the bottom moldy?

@mjk0123456789 No its frost , some kind of dessert.

My family used to take pan am first class long before I was born! Nice

What a beautiful video. I was a Pan Am stewardess from 79 until 91, and flew JFK-GIG many times. I tell you, that clip of the interior of my "home" brought me to tears. I miss Pan Am so very much. Class all the way. Thank you for posting this! Very well done.

@panampia I am very sorry I never got to fly on Pan Am. I have always been fascinated by this mogul of an airline that Juan Trippe has built which was once one of the big three. What were some of the things you liked best about working for Pan Am?

I remember working many of those Pan Am 747 flights as a Flight Attendant. First class looks better then than it does now. But then you have to remember, this is PAN AM!!!

[wkaemena]

@mustangmooney21 well there was no better First Class at that time. Flat bed was still many years away

Man, you made me feel like tearing down from emotion. Be sure, it will be back, with another name, but it will have the spirit of Pan Am, and will pay tribute to Pan Am, the Mama Airline that was the reason for the surge of the Boeing 747!

Nice video shot when... oh man... that was air transportation.. You were treated as a respected and valuable customer not as a number... just another passanger. Seeing the F/A smilling for the camera makes me think were did we get: If you film a cabin crew today they will treat you as a terrorist: "Why are you filming me?" "It's not allowed to take pictures of cabin crew" and so on... Oh my God.. where did we get?????

while airlines like TWA never flew to Brazil, Pan Am made GIG a hub

How funny is that: the guy in the last row is lighting up his cigarette in the first class at 2:05 lol

[wkaemena]

@domiffa all planes  had smoker section in all classes

[domiffa]

@wkaemena - yeah I know: I flew a PanAm Clipper from FRA to LAX in 1989. I still remember it - PanAm was very classy. In Eco the smoking aereas were in the back of the plane.

[RyanBomar]

@domiffa, I noticed that too. Try that now and see what happens :)

[19bootsy68]

Wow 1st class has changed since then!!

[wkaemena]

@19bootsy68 yes seatwise BUT the food and service was MUCH better

[19bootsy68]

@wkaemena In 1989 i made my 1st longhaul flight to LAX with B.A. in Y class then a few years later i was lucky enough to fly upper class on Virgins 1st business class seat...i remember thinking back then i would never fly normal class ever again and i pretty much didnt, i think i have a video 8 of me in Virgin Atlantics Mid Class the old name for premium economy sitting beside Mikey Dee from Motorhead i might try to find it..and see how i can upload it?

[wkaemena]

@19bootsy68 You need a way to digitize your old video8. I bought for that some years ago a digital Sony camcorder capable of reading old video 8

[19bootsy68]

@wkaemena thank you for the advice i will look inti it now.
