Republic Airlines,"Celebrity Service" TV AD, 1982

Ah, the good ol' days. I would love to see a return to this kind of service.

Lol.. I flew Republic from PFN to MCO when I was a little kid. The short flight didn't allow much time for service. In fact, because we were still climbing, my orange juice slid right down the tray into my lap!

it would be nice to be able to "not leave your appetite at home" today. not only do they not serve you meals like the one republic showed in this ad, on many airlines you have to pay for a bag of pretzels. it's a shame, but i hope we'll have better days again.

@petey8887 One of these days, the airlines will come back to their senses. Some airlines are well on their way, but are not quite there by any means. Others are continually sealing their fate. The old excuses are wearing thin.
