What a great era that was -- imagine, catching an airliner at a handy
airport, and being provided with great customer service!


And paying a fortune for the ticket.


True, you didn't have the "super-saver" ticket options. But you DID have
many more options, for a price.

Nowadays, you can't have that -- for ANY price. The service just doesn't
exist.

(Unless you charter, of course, which is still unaffordable for most.)
