I'm so bummed that one of the 1970's commercials that I watched several times as a kid can't be found yet on YouTube! I mean the one that ends with an aircraft beginning to take off perpendicular and very close to the camera and this is accompanied by the tune that ends the 1976 commercial featuring Bonnie Miner with a chorus singing "TWAAAAAAA" according to the tune.
Round trip to LA for $258? SanFran for $238? Last week I flew round trip from Indy to LA in coach. My price thru Priceline? $1380 + $75 for checked bag.
@0Heavy0Metal0 You got ripped off. That price is ridiculous. Airfare prices haven't increased in about 20 years, and that is part of the reason our domestic carriers have such problems turning out a profit.
@JohnRhysMusician Not only they haven't increased, they have decreased consistently over the years. You can check out Pan Am timetables on line and see, for instance, that in 1956 a round trip ticket between NYC and LON in coach was US$522, which represent around US$ 4,400 today. That's approximately a sixth of what you would pay today.

Orange seats? Better than stripes I guess.

@0Heavy0Metal0 You got ripped off - just checked and got $310 for the same trip w/no checked bags.

@ajb33460 Yeah, but you didn't buy the ticket 10 hours before the flight either.
