The plane and service featured in this ad represents my the first commercial jet aircraft trip for me, a TWA L-1011 to San Francisco in 1980.

  • @hotelgulf718 >>>Poor service has to do with the downfall of the USA domestic airline industry! I just returned from a 40 day European trip on which I flew JFK to VCE (New York to Venice) on Delta Airlines, outstanding service, visited Croatia (Dubrovnik) Istanbul (Turkey) Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, Athens (Greece) Madrid, Seville & Ibiza (Spain) I flew Aegean Airlines between Athens & Madrid full breakfast flight on A320 unlike here in the USA four flight attendants 3 in back 1 on front!

  • @500tristar >> I graduated TWA's Breech Academy in MCI late spring 1976 when on line based in JFK-International and FAA certified on DC-9, B707, B727, B747, L1011 our B707 that belonged to that earlier generations of planes have been already retrofitted with ample overhead bins just like the early B727-100 & DC-9/ 30.

  • Responding to Floooky 1: Don't know about Stephanie but I (BONNIE) don't fly anymore and continued to work in commercials and film. Have been in Screen Actor's Guild for over 35 years now, became an overseas community liaison officer for the American Embassy, a background investigator and substitute teacher! ;-)

  • I find it interesting that they now put 9 people where 6 used to sit................cheap ass American air carriers!!!

  • long live the 1011!

  • My left ear is lonely...

  • damned shame Lockheed stopped making airliners!

  • That flight deck was 20 years ahead of its time...roomy, no clutter, no cables sticking out.

  • WOW! just the opposite of today!

  • Wow....that widebody had only 8 seats across. It looks so comfortable! Air France, World Airways and Omni have 10 seats across (so did Pan Am and ATA). Sinful.

  • @TWTR4EVER TWA was Never the same after the Authorities incarcerated you, Was delighted to hear you made Parole!,

  • TWA = That Wonderful Airline
