  • If politically correct females think that being a Pan Am stewardess was somehow furthering the cause of Women’s Lib then they are very much mistaken. Then, as now, being an Air Hostess was glamorous. It still retains that glamour and sexiness - and this, for a woman, is freedom… the freedom to be feminine.

  • damn, flight attendants used to be hot! quality of airlines have really gone under ><

  • i should be a pilot

  • 3rd on left = YouTube.com/user/lidiaryan

  • Just enjoy the Scene! This scene is great (=

  • WHO GIVES A BOLLOX AS LONG AS THEY ARE FLYING HIGH

    NATURALLY:-)

  • It's really sad that people still think that women should get their jobs based on their looks. As glamorous as these women were seen, their job was so discriminating. At the age of 23 or if they got married they would be FIRED because they were now too "old" to be ice candy for the men that would board these planes.Also, these women could be given "underwear checks" by male customers, meaning that a guy could lift up her skirt from behind and look at her underweak. Disgusting.

  • When I was living in Los Angeles in the late 60's, I remember there was a restaurant that tried to replicate the experience of flying on an airline. The interior was built to look like an airplane cabin, complete with real airline seats, and the waitresses all wore stewardess uniforms.

  • Anyone who can sell me a Time machine?

  • Dicaprio ... like a Boss.

  • @kakuloukia So true... so true..

  • Everyone wants the 60's, I want the 50's when they did this with railroads. The sleek modern trains, the stewardesses, the parlor and observation cars. My I adore what the railroads did with their steam and diesel locomotives when trying to imitate planes. Sad that when railroads came back to being semi popular it was because our airports went to the pits and the glamour was gone from flying.

  • Ah, Doctrine of Separate Spheres and androcentrism, you are concepts that are sorely missed! Oh, how I wish I could have lived in the time when men were gentlemen and women were ladies. I would love to live in the 50's and 60's, sans the Vietnam War and feminist movement!

  • Waah! I want the sixties stewardesses back.

  • LOL, yeah

  • Pan Am is apparently a railroad company now...

  • Post 1945 - Pre 1975 - DREAMLAND ERA

  • @EasternMerchant How about 1880-1914?

  • @Teritus911 hehe ya know... someone once said, "the problem with the world is....we went from Eminem to Justin Beiber" and I said, "NO.... we went from Beethoven to Eminem." And I got a cursing like you wouldn't believe! HAHA I see now that I'm getting a response similar to the one I gave to that guy. Interesting how Karma works eh? :D You're right though that was a beautiful impressionistic age.

  • @EasternMerchant LOL, yeah

  • back in the day you were required to be PRETTY, between 5foot2 and 5foot 6 and have 1 year off collage (so youre not stupid XD) now, half a year of bieng a nurse and youre done.. >:l damn..

  • This film absorbs me and transport me to an era I wish I had lived.

  • Their not hot anymore

  • @Nfildate333 you retard they are portraying women of the 60's.

  • Ezio and his courtisanes.

  • The good ol days are long gone

  • The terminal is actually fairly close to the way the Miami terminal looked in those days. All the airlines and their arrangement are vert correct. The directors really did their homework!

  • Back in the days when you could choose a women for a job in Aviation based on her looks rather than her qualifications. Thanks a lot Bin Laden...

  • @scatcat1994 What does bin laden have to do with women working with an airline company?

  • @scatcat1994 Your comment implies that women were chosen only for their looks, and not their qualifications. In fact, all stewardesses in those days were highly qualified for their jobs, it's just that good looks was one of the qualifications. Also, the elimination of good looks as a qualification occurred long before Bin Laden did his dirty deeds - we have feminism to thank for THAT crime.

  • Go! TOM HANKS!

  • goofy crap.

  • The creator of the new series "Pan Am" had to have been watching this and had an "AHA!" moment. And I'm glad he did.

  • A high-flying turd. P-U!

  • That's the wrong hat isn't it? In "Come Fly With Me." they wore similar hats but with a wing shaped clip. Plus the white colors were popped out of the blue blazers. Is this a seasonal change or what?

  • @31keltik The girl walking in back next to Leonardo is very much black.

  • The Pan Am girls are HOT ! It's sad to see how ugly modern American women have become when compared to the sexy glamour and style of those beautiful Pan Am women of past decades.

    Feminism ruined class and dignity by undermining the real distinction between the genders.

  • @wilburhog Yeah, women looked better before they had any rights.

  • @haymaker710 lol you sound mad. these girls had rights, they could do and get away with virtually anything.

  • @JamieandhisIbanez Women were paid less than a man and were often forced to quit once they got married. Many employers wouldn't hire married women. Women were often denied loans without a man's approval and in many states it was illegal for a women to serve in a jury.

  • @haymaker710 my comment was about the women in this video. pan am stewardesses have been interviewed on modern television many times, and they have admitted they could have gotten away with murder, and had the time of their lives. i recall one woman saying: 'she slept with a different guy every night'. They had it easy as hell. They may not have had 'rights' but they could do pretty much anything, because of the status achieved with their job. i'd research pan am if i were you.

  • @JamieandhisIbanez Oh, I was talking about the women's lib movement in the 60's. I didn't know you meant Pan Am women specifically. By the way, I really don't like when people tell me to research things like you're giving me a homework assignment.

  • @haymaker710 yeah i meant pan am. well i thought you were also talking about pan am, and thus your statements would have been incorrect hence the homework assignment.

  • @haymaker710 you prove my point exactly :)

  • @4everPhantomslover What was your point.

  • @haymaker710 why don't you use your brain and try to figure it out

  • @4everPhantomslover I haven't seen this video in a month, asshole, I haven't read all the comments and I definately don't feel like reading your long convoluted ramblings.

  • @haymaker710 That's right.

  • Comment removed

  • @wilburhog

    Yeah wasn't it great when only attractive women could get a job.

  • @socorrolime im not complaining.

  • @wilburhog "Warpaint are ugly?"

  • @wilburhog ..you can thank the zionists for that!

  • @wilburhog You gotta remember they only pick pretty people for movies in general. Ugly people existed long before the beginning of homo sapien sapiens. Remember not to base your opinions on movies and then remember that this movie was actually made in 2002(-ish?), after all the feminist stuff, yeah? ;)

  • @wilburhog Become a doctor, dude. Plenty of ladies around there still ;)

  • @wilburhog many women nowadays dress like whores...

  • @wilburhog on the contrary, feminism helped these women fight for their rights in the workforce. At the age of 23 or if they got married they would be FIRED because they were now "too old" to be ice candy for the men that would board these planes. Also, these women could be given "underwear checks" by male customers. Meaning that a guy could just lift up her skirt from behind and look at her underwear. Disgusting! If you think that has class and dignity you are a pig.

  • @4everPhantomslover Stewardesses were NOT fired at age 23. I knew one once who was 26, although admittedly that's pushing it. Why shouldn't a company be allowed to maintain a glamorous image by hiring young, attractive women for a few years, then replacing them with new attractive young women? You create more opportunities that way. I swear, the feminazis have ruined everything that was good! They might as well demand that Victoria's Secret hire overweight grannies to model their lingerie!

  • As a american history major, they wer fired 23 maybe a 2 or 3 years over or under. Maybe you should open a history book once in a while before opening your mouth. These women deserved to be valued more than just eye candy and should not be fired or hired for only their looks but for their qualities and abilities. Thank God for feminism because now women can be anything they want to be in life and not be discriminated because of their looks. Also, why would grannies model lingerie?

  • @4everPhantomslover As an American history major, have you ever taken an English course? Your grammar is as convoluted as your thinking! Today's history books should be re-labeled "socialist propaganda". I don't need to read a history book about the 1960's, as I was there to see it for myself. To say that stewardesses were fired at 23 +/-2 yrs. shows an appalling ignorance of the facts. You might want to watch "the real stewardesses of Pan Am" series of clips on Youtube to get a clue.

  • @amateurphilosopher it is sad that people like you still exist in the world. People that believe that women are only a pretty face and nothing more. Also, I don't know why the heck you bring socialism into this, when all I am talking about is the equality of women. You know what....forget you. I am done and I don't have time to waste on people like you. Have a nice life!

  • @4everPhantomslover Sorry to have bothered you. You obviously are far too naive to understand the points I was making. I should have remembered that reason and logic are utterly foreign concepts to a feminist. Enjoy your delusions!

  • @wilburhog You're so never getting laid with that attitude.

  • @31keltik keep dreaming

  • I wish the airline Pan Am would come back

  • @31keltik ITS THE 60s of course! it was different back then!

  • I just found a website that sells pan am luggage and things....expensive but very cool

  • why do they wet down all the roads all the tome in movies?

  • I love this song!

  • Best scene ever.

  • You know you have made it as a director when you can change the name of an airport.

    Also at 1:32 onwards you can see the camera man's shadow, but he is wearing a hat so you think he is a cop...that's clever.

  • hanks and dicaprio is kinda of a unbeatable combo

  • Frank Abagnale Jr. was a Pan-Am pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer - all before he was 20 years old. What a genius of a kid. And this is one of the best scenes from this movie.

  • This is one of the best movie scenes I have ever seen, not exaggerating!

    Its well done, funny and incredible!

    LOVED IT!

  • In reality, many flight attendants didn't care too much for the pilots, and probably still don't. Go to ChezGigi.com and Pan Am Captains And The Revenge Of The Flight Attendants for memories of one former Pan Amer. I flew for Pan Am for twelve years, and it was very special-

  • Hot damn, a stewardess dressed like that would make me stop and take a second look. The Canadian stewardess I seen in my last flight are nothing compared to them. Only an Asian stewardess are equal to what I see in that video now.

  • i should be a pilot

  • @ HalfordJetset - Great commentary

  • Comment removed

  • the uniforms are right but the stewardess' of the 1960s would never have been allowed to have all that hair hanging down. The Uniform Code of Pan Am was set by the govt. and hair had to be at least 1" above the color to perform food service. These girls would never have gotten past the flight briefing. Also note Pan Am pilots did not enter airports with girls hanging off their arms -- fun for the movie not accurate for reality.

  • @av10cu5mli LOL, I'm glad someone caught that other than me! BTW that rule hasn't changed, it's still there for flights that have food service. Hair over the collar mark still has to be secured.

  • when i first saw this movie, i laughed so hard after he held up the sign.

  • This was my favorite part of the movie!!

  • amazing scene

    everything is so brilliant

    and the soundtrack picking "come fly with me" is just so fitting and amazing and the ending was hilarious with the sign saying tom hanks' name

    raise hats for steven spillberg : )

  • Really liked the movie and enjoyed the book.I remember him getting caught.Hard to imagine but believe quite true.Thanks for posting.

  • Loved this movie! And now they're making a show on ABC called "Pan Am".... whose trailer (unsurprisingly) uses the same song. :D

  • Who cares about the stewardesses having Leo DiCaprio as the pilot... :P

    He looks so hot in that uniform <3

  • pan am is now a railroad near me. strange seeing trains go by with that blue globe and those iconic letters.

  • forget the stewardesses the real hottie is LEONARDO DICAPRIO (plays the pilot and jack dawson in titanic)

  • Simplesmente Fantástico!!!!!!

  • This is NOT Miami airport !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What type of genre is this song? Jazz? Blues? It is so nice omg=]

  • The blonde air hostie (at 0:46) is Deborah Kellner who danced with Brendan Fraser in "Blast From The Past" and walked topless from the pool in "A Night at the Roxbury".

  • I don't understand it! I mean how hard is it to make things a little classier? I'll give you the wings, because let's face it, with the amount of flight attendants today genuine gold for wings would be impossible, but why can't airlines start issuing Cabin Bags and White Gloves again? This uniform compared to those of today (I think) is actually more professional! Simple yet elegant! There was a time when even Cabin Crew had stripes on their jacket cuffs!

  • Silly beyond belief, wishful thinking of what airports and flying were like. It was nice to be able to board a plane without being hassled, I must admit.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree that airlines shouldn't hire fat or ugly women. All it does is put passengers off. Lets face it, its like be stuck in a classroom with that teacher from middle school you hated for 2 hrs. Now I will say that the more expensive delta flights still have pretty good looking stews.. Virgin Atlantic does still have the high standards.

  • Pffff... That is nothing. You should see Singaporr Airlines.

  • I am in the airline business and have seen the changes over the last 30 yrs. I am 51 and now its like a walmart or a bus station. I work with a former swinging 1960's from Pan Am. The quality of service and high level of work standards are still evident

  • @lasbagman1 nowadays stewardesses(flight attendants) cant be flirty like that because of political correctness but airport security guards can sexually molest you.

  • whats the song called?

  • @chinesericeboy The song is called "Come fly with me". The singer is Old Bue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, although I believe that michael buble does a pretty good version of it. Great Song and Great movie.

  • i love classy girls...

  • glory days of air travel

  • Where only has all that style gone?

  • This scene is the reason why i wanna be a pilot. And I'll fight for it!

  • @lepotanCCCC Don't let Hollywood films fool you kid....Trust me, being a pilot is NOT like this.

  • @apocatie34 not anymore anyway

  • Wonderful and highly underrated movie.

  • Panam hasdied but it has resurrected in the midle east with the name of Emirates Airline...

  • @calvinair A freight company bought the name Pan Am recently, but the logo is owned by someone else so we will see Pan Am up in the air again but under another graphical identity.

  • @HalfordJetset Thanks for the information,but what i said was about the luxury and glamour of the flight,ok?:)

  • @HalfordJetset Hopefully they'll try to by back the pan am logo, and hopefully they'll stay true to the original brand identity of the company. I never knew pan am as an active company, but something that has ingrained itself so deeply in public opinion and popular culture to the point where people are genuinely saddened in its absence is something that I would love to see revived.

  • i should be a pilot

  • @zheng1985 Exactly!

  • best scene of this entire movie

  • one of my favorite movie scenes

  • yea, i saw in balboa park san diego there is an air museum and an exhibit is PSA uniforms 50s to 70s; my mom said that those girls were the elite, to get that gig was like american royalty.

  • Cool film; I flew on one of the first Pan Am 747's in September 1970 from LHR-JFK. It was an amazing experience for a five year old and I shall never forget it!

  • well i can tell you this much, the founders never said anything about keeping this country only for whites only. not to mention they brought blacks from Africa and now they're complaing about telling blacks to back to Africa, racist ppl are fucken retarted. and America took half of Mexico's land, while theres still hispanics in the southwest and west. U.S.A. is whites, blacks and hispanics. not just whites.

  • I remember I was 16 and wanted to be him in this scene, Hell in the whole film, I dressed up in my suit played this on my Ipod and imagined myself walking through the airport with stewardesses on my arm :)

  • Whats your equipment?

  • It is interesting to note that American women dressed well back then and took pride in their personal appearance.

  • This made the ad's :D

  • I wish women would dress like this again. Just awesome.

  • These were the days. I remember the trans-atlantic trips on PanAm with my parents. They were just giant great, happy and fun parties with beautiful young stewardesses (not the old grump hogs and homos we have today who 'go JetBlue' on ya)...

    Yep - these days were fantastic!!! I need a time machine - I would go and never come back...

  • VISIT MY PAN AM CHANNEL WITH LOT OF MOVIES, TRIBUTES AND COMMERCIALS ABOUT PAN AM!

  • Now that's a pimp

  • 1960's look for woman, fashion, hair, etc., it's definitely my favorite... they look so feminine, especially the tall big hair and those mini skirts, uufff , hot hot hot - caliente pu~eta!

  • That was back in the 20th century when women looked like women - and they were damn proud of it!

  • @DVDluvr123 Well spoken...

  • @DVDluvr123

    You bet, since then the whole damn world has gone insane.

  • @DVDluvr123

    Word on that!

  • @DVDluvr123 women look like men now?

  • @CreativeFilmMaker You haven't noticed!? Maybe you don't know what a woman looks like.

  • @DVDluvr123 Are you saying women are too skinny?

  • @CreativeFilmMaker Are you some kind of moron or are you just pretending to be the stupidest person on YouTube?

  • @DVDluvr123 You are the one saying that women don't look like women. Please tell me - WHY do you say women no longer look like women?

  • i wanna know want is the backgoround music 's name of this video?????

  • @TPN10 The background music? Its "Lets fly away" from Frank Sinatra.

  • @kutzak159 "come fly with me"

  • This is the best film ever

  • this movie is so well written. Frank Abagnale Jr. is a fucking genious.

  • P.I.M.P

  • I wish the airlines were still APPRECIATED like in this movie!

  • i wish we could bring pan am back

  • I LOVE Pan-Am's uniforms. I wish I could wear them because they are classy-looking as hell. Love this movie.

  • Im a flight attendent....and it isnt like this anymore!!! LOL!

  • MIA, LAX, &~*, the new america's friendlies+~* airpor+~+~*Sí se puede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia~*

  • This is like Assassin's Creed 2....

  • @PeacemakerShaun1011 oh wait now I see the whores!!!

  • 1:10-2:06 OMG! ROFL! You got OWNED SO BAD!

  • Handratty - owned

  • Great movie. I wonder what the song in the background is called. Anyone?

  • @cheezzy5

    "Come Fly With Me" by Frank Sinatra.

  • i love this movie!

  • @heston99 Ain't that the truth!! I wish I could go back to those "Glory Days"!!!

  • Fantastic scene from a great film. Certainly captures a time when pilots were thought of in a very high regard. Also Stewardesses too!

  • 0:40 "Notice the TWA signs in the background"

    Sorry, but I really wasn't looking at that :D

  • Dear All,

    I have some questions about psychology:

    (1) Why do we love commercial flying, especially in 1960's?

    (2) Why do we enjoy to work on career related to aviation?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

  • You can still find yourself a good looking stewardess in Brazil! Just fly any one of their airlines :)

  • @swa5297 They're probably living hand to mouth off food stamps!!! Probably only see $100 on special occasions!!!

  • This is one of my favorite scenes too! Thanks for the extra info!

  • Exiting a Checker Aerobus, arriving in style!

  • I would've LOVED to have flown on TWA & Pan Am in the early to mid '60s!!! That was when jet travel was new and exciting!!! There were no worries about terrorists attacks and you didn't have to take off your shoes & socks and go through extensive security checks!! Also back then as shown in "Catch Me If You Can", Jet airliner pilots were TOTALLY AWESOME figures to young kids in their spotless white caps & gold trimmed blue uniforms and genuine gold wing pins!!! That mystique seems to be gone now

  • I know if i could go back i time that is what i would do ! Fly in style in the 1960s

  • I did fly as a "stewardess" in the 60's, those days were called the "Glory days". We were thought of as every man's dream. Not so today. It was so much fun

  • @xpaastw

    Ohh god ur soo lucky !! Do u still fly??

  • No, I left the business after PAA went bankrupt.

  • @ford9572 yeah because now they're barely even getting paid....
