“Back when flying was actually something to look forward to.”

My first flight was 1954———our meal was served on real china.

Not a jet,of course. No jetway,walked across the tarmac and up the stairs.

Yep, china, mini wine bottles, real food, etc., etc.

I would like to fly 1st Class at least once so that I can relive the experiences of what it used to be like when one flew Coach.

My first was also in the 50's ... I'm going to guess around the same time

I vaguely remember a DC something ... maybe a 7

All I know is, we kids (two or three of us from Boston to Iowa with our mother) were all dressed up like going to church and our voices vibrated because of the prop vibration .... we LOVED it

I don't remember food ... I was born in "48 so maybe around '52, '3 or '4
