Lord, I miss the '60s and '70s. I remember smoking on aircraft and free whiskey. $20 for a one-way ticket? You can't get a slice of pizza and drink in an airport for that today.

No smoking (and I like that - I have an allergy to cigarette smoke), but there is free whiskey, if you travel enough. Earn a high-mileage classification, and you get the good stuff - even when traveling in economy...;)
Got a pair of whiskeys and a gin and tonic on my last flight to China, even when flying in coach. Benefits of sitting my butt in a plane for 80,000 miles a year (but they add up REAL fast on those trans-Pacific flights).
Wiping a tear from my eye...sniff...
In the 70’s Air Florida had a DC-3 run from Sarasota to Miami that cost $28.00 , what a great flight, fairly low over Okeechobee and the Glades. And now I really appreciate the fact that I got to fly on a DC-3.
Not that I’d want to with tsa serving it up....
Stay safe....
