"Free meals, no tips, and the papers delivered to your chair."

And-
IF YOU WEREN'T PROPERLY DRESSED, YOU DIDN'T GET ON!
No T shirts and jeans allowed- First Class attire were required or you were denied passage. It was after all, the bastion of the well to do- as airline travel at the time was considered to be their exclusive domain :(

I wonder what would happen if that guy in Arab dress tried to get on a plane today.

Free meals? As yesterday as prop planes.

@TISAC1 Yes and that was only what, 65 years ago? I can't believe things have changed.

Nice view of the RMS Aquitania at 8'57" only a year or two before she was (finally) scrapped

The guy at 6:54 sounds like Peter Lore.
This video was super fantastic.

1. We enjoy flying because humans see it as a final feet to conquer. We can already swim, and go down in the sea. but flight is unnatural to us so it seems like something completely different.
2. its fast, much better then driving for 6 days when you can just take a 5 hour flight.
3. Well back in the day, They were free and people were not use to free meals. The food was highly salted and seasoned giving it a greater taste.
4. no choice. they're not going to lower the plane to eat.

Dear All,
I have some question about psychology:
(1) Why do we enjoy flying?
(2) Why do we love air travelling?
(3) Why do we feel that in-flight meals are so interest and special?
(4) Why do we like dinning at 42000 feets high?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

I think that I used to do 100k a year. I will never fly our domestic carriers. Finair, Mexicana, Condor are OK with me.

this is a fantastic clip; however the UK has disappeared from the industrial roadmap so far.

Yes, it is a shame in hindsight to see that the three "trump cards", the Comet, Brabazon and Princess were all commercial failures. The Comet was one of the most beautiful airliners ever made IMHO.
