Gogo boots and miniskirts and ashtrays in the chair arms are the only things I remember of Braniff. That and the moving sidewalks at Love Field.

I flew only once with Braniff and that was in 1975. My husband was stationed at Fort Riley Kansas, and we lived of post. On February 10^th I received a letter from my mother from Germany that my father had passed away. I called my husband to give him the news and he came home and asked me if I wanted to fly to Germany. I told him yes of course.

At the time my German passport had expired so I had to notify the German Embassy in Chicago about it. It took about 3 weeks when I got my new passport. My husband booked my flight for me at a local travel agency and when the day came my husband, I and our children drove to Kansas City, MO to the airport and I flew with Braniff to Chicago O'Hare and than with Lufthansa to Stuttgart Germany. The flight with Lufthansa was very disappointing as the flight attendants were very snobbish.

I had planned to stay for three weeks but after 2 weeks I was ready to come back because I missed my husband and our children. When I arrived in Chicago many flights were delayed due to the weather. When I was finally called for my flight they put me in First class because I had to wait so long. They offered me a glass of wine but I had been 24 hours awake and I wasn't interested because I was to tired.

BTW I don't remember if the armrests were moving or not

When my plane arrived in Kansas City, where my husband and our children were waiting for me I asked him to rent a motel room as I was to tired to travel 2 more hours to our home
