This brought back so many memories for me. My father was a petroleum engineer, and in 1968 our entire family was transferred to Kuwait for 8 years. It WAS very glamorous, everyone dressed up. Our mother always had us in matching dresses. It was elegant and gracious. We probably flew on every airline there was. We loved when the flight attendants gave us flight bags to add to our collection. We mostly flew TWA, BOAC, Pan Am, and our favorite, KLM. Occasionally on Air India or shorter flights on Kuwait Air. On Kuwait Air, you got a sandwich and hot tea no matter where or what time you were going. People acted within the rules of civility back then, as one should. We were always so happy to get back to JFK and Braniff would take us home to Texas.
@@joejoe4games, wouldn't 1970s prices be filthy cheap? I was happy to see that service shown in this video is far better than what we have now in first class.
@@ApoloniaJones1976, I did not know that. In any case, aren't you as sick of the abuses that we currently are made to endure? No food, unless flying certain flight packages (oftentimes, first class), and milage points that disappear just when you want to use them. 😫
Baby Boomers had it all: they lived like James Bond and flew Pan Am in style smoking and eating crab legs and steak with leg room.

I was born in the 90s and my mum took me onboard as soon as I could crawl. Even in the mid to late 90s, flying was still a nice experience. I was given picture books and toys, and we had a proper meal even for shorter flights. We would sometimes be given tidbits like eye masks, slippers and a small toiletry bag even for domestic flights. And all this was in economy. The last time I experienced anything remotely close to my childhood was when I flew first class from London to Edinburgh in 2019, with a proper meal and even pudding. Most of the times, it’s praying that my Ryan air seatbelt would hold until we get to the destination. 😭
Flew FIRST Class from London to Edinburgh in 2019? I don't think so. I assume you mean Business Class (BA Club Europe). Also no airline has ever given eye masks, slippers and small toiletry bags on UK domestic flights in any class of service!
The 70’s were FUN! My parents dressed us up and we had to wear church dresses and we always took the 6am flight so I remember my parents getting us up in the middle of the night. Childhood is the best!
I worked for Pan Am I was hired in 1987 I worked for the airline until December 4 1991 when they closed down it was such a great airline to work for I mainly flew on the 747 planes ✈️ I went to work for American Airlines after pan am closed and I recently retired I had a wonderful 34 years flying around the world
I know !!! Can you imagine ?! I'm 59. My father was in the military, so we traveled a lot. I remember in-flight meals, comfortable seats, beautiful airplanes both inside and outside with the wildly, catchy paint schemes and logos. Flight crews who were attractive and professional and the whole experience was fun and memorable. Why can't the airlines go back to those days. Go back to focusing on the passenger and their comfort, rather than their wallet.
If they turned this experience into an actual flyable airplane I would ride on it. You get on the plane they take off you fly around for a couple hours they serve you meals and then you land back in the same airport that would be an amazing experience. Same concept as a dinner cruise only in an airplane. I understand that the FAA would probably never allow that but it would still be fun.
I flew 1st class Pan Am from Miami to London Gatwick, but the only problem was I was 11, so can’t remember a thing! We were bumped up, due to being stranded at Miami airport for a day and a half!
Wish the airline industry would return to the days when flying was fun, adventurous and a lot less stressful.😮 Bring back in-flight entertainment, classy in-flight meals and service and clean, spacious airplanes.
I like when she exclaimed “This is so much fun!!!” (when they were smoking cigarettes are drinking from an open bar) You know... things that aren’t like airlines now😑
I flew Pan am airlines 67'-77 every year with my parents great fun! I would always have the steak though my stomach would wonder what is this? and vomit afterwards, fun times!
I flew n ate up in frist class n we had the n they came around with the food n we watched it being cut omg n up in the 1 st class lounge it was fabulos omg we were on a flight to Hawaii n it was amazing ii
Somehow, the first class (and airline in general) experience downgraded from the 1970s. The price didn’t but the experience did. I’ve flown on a few different first class occasions from different carriers (BA/BOAC, United, and ANA). Yes the technological marvel is certainly increased but the overall aspect and space definitely decreased, which sucks since it hasn’t gotten any cheaper or anything...
It has gotten much cheaper. Back then you had to be well to do or a business man in the 60’s. Flights cost in today’s money around 500-600.00 and now you can jump on a flight for 100 bucks practicality. I would also like it to come back from today’s standards and pay more for a better experience.
I find your statement about First Class air travel to be rather strange. You claim that space in First Class has decreased since the 1970's. The most spacious First Class experience of the 1970's would have been on a 747. 6 rows in the nose, 2 X 2 seating with a seat pitch of about 42 inches. Circa 1980 that would have changed to 4 rows with a seat pitch of around 62 inches then after about 2000 those private suites with full reclining beds would have been introduced. How then do you claim that First Class space has decreased?

I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal Now I think what if you were flying from the east coast to the west coast at night or in the evening and that was your actual dinner on an airplane, and now you think about what your dinner would be on an airplane today. Remember the airlines coined the phrase "they don't call it first class for nothing".
Just got off a delta plane. The Flight was delayed. Arrived at Atlanta at 7:30 because of this got to the gate at 745 and they already gave away my seats to standbys right in front of us tellomg me we were late even though the first plane was delayed because of them. So my next flight was not till 24 hours later. And after 48 of travel they lost all my luggage. What a service delta. And the same exact thing happened а year ago. .
"Pan Am": short-lived TV series that suffered from bad writing. Starring Margot Robbie, Christine Ricci, Kelli Garner, and that French Chick, with the requisite studly dude pilots.
What about TWA? There's a hotel at JFK Airport that transformed the iconic historic TWA Flight Center into a hotel. They turned a 1958 Lockheed Constellation plane into a bar. So cool
TWA was the best I used to work for that briliant company...BUT PAN AM was always respected by us. Both carriers had been a hallmark of inflight service. Now all is gone in the U.S. Primitine service and no First Class cabins on international flights. OK AA on some
Volcanic ash causes engines to fail as it can block the fuel lines and air systems. However it’s only a flameout, and can be restarted after the engines clear, it happened to a British Airways 747.
One of the things stressed during Pan American dinner service training, is to NOT saw the roast. Rather, the person doing the cutting does so in one direction; towards his or her self.
This is correct, however some aircraft had a larger lounge in the lower deck located in the cargo area and some had a lounge in the area below the spiral stairway as well.
This cost $300 not worth it. If someone bought a 747 took you up in the air and flew for 3 hours or so than that would be worth the cost. No going to a plane that’s not even flying and paying $300 for it.
It's sad that good service is more of a novelty than something that is to be expected from each airlines in the US. They should follow the airlines in Asia and Middle East when it comes to the service provided to their customers.
If you want service like this, fork up the money for a business or first class ticket. You seriously cannot expect this type of service when you paid $90 for Economy.
Where are the tray tables? Even first class had them back then. Keep in mind that this is all prior to the deregulation of the airline industry. Its when the government had many rules on pricing, routes, etc. Its when airlines treated passengers more like real people and less like cattle as they do today. Its where men wore suits and women wore dresses or pantsuits. Of course the passengers of today are at fault too! Wearing almost anything they want and demanding things and speaking rudely to inflight and gate personnel. Its both totally ridiculous and sad how people act these days on an aircraft. Do they act that way in there normal life. I guess its true that Americans make poor travelers to other countries!
I wonder how they cooked the prime rib on steak. Was it precooked by catering then heated up slightly and carved on board? They had carving boards and gravy boats and everything! How did they serve everyone if someone was carving each serving?
The Pan Am Experience probably closed due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, so I made a ROBLOX game that's based on it, but the seats are not the same, because it's going to be too time-consuming to recreate the seats in ROBLOX.
