Yeah, it looks really hard on the passengers.


I’m guessing those were advertising pics. So of course they were going to make the experience look attractive.

I always bring my noise canceler headphones onboard in case of crying babies. I bet they didn’t have those back-in-the-day.

I flew on at least one of those, and it was amazing.

Look at the 9:10 point of this video for the variations of the upstairs lounge.

Correct: There were no "crying babies" back-in-the-day!

Babies back then were more stoic, and better-behaved! Also, the ubiquitous clouds of cigarette smoke calmed them!
