If you try hard enough, you can probably remember back when flying was fun, airline service was plentiful and the words "in-flight meal" were more than a joke! Can't? No worries, we recently gathered together a small collection of airline commercials from the 1970's to help. We've included a few of our favorites with links to the rest. Hope you enjoy!
