This is really cool.
I can’t remember the last time I was on a TWA flight.
I seem to recall 3 or 4 years ago that this hopelessly early sixties-modern terminal was the main detractor at the airport. Now it’s cool?
It’s cool. Nice to see that they didn’t tear down that iconic building & found a use for it. Growing up, I passed by JFK almost every day
I didn’t see what the outside of the building with the actual hotel rooms looks like.
Thanks for posting. I’ll be passing on the link.
The St. Louis Airport Hilton is also a shine to TWA.
Every room and hallway feature pictures of smiling Hollywood stars on board or exiting TWA airplanes.
It’s very cool.
Would be a great place to stay one night...then it might get expensive. But still, mighty cool nostalgia.
Pan Am closed in the early 1990s. That’s where my memories are. Maybe a TWA/PanAm hotel could fetch more visitors. Those PanAm memories for some older than I include clipper service on big old sea planes that included sleeping facilities. Sleep-inducing engine sounds and gentle jostling were part of that experience, which easily could be re-created. (I don’t think TWA had that, least ways not that I saw).
Cool. My first flight was on Northwest. I still remember the jingle from the commercials.
Northwest Orient....Airlines!
When I was young, I remember an adult joke that went something like this: The TWA stewardess asked the passenger if he would like some TWA coffee. He declined but told her he would enjoy some TWA t.
It opened in May and is already iconic???? Back in the day icons had to pay their dues first. :)
I liked the 60’s music in the background too. I noticed “Don’t make me over” & “ You better shop around”
Never forget what the “T” stands for in TWA.
Yes, it goes back even that far. We just weren’t aware of it.
