If anyone is longing for the pre-deregulation days of aviation, ticket prices were a lot higher back then.

My grandmother was telling me about her honeymoon in Europe in the 1960s. Inflation-adjusted, the tickets were $3000 each!

Flying back then was better for smokers. They used to have smoking sections on planes. Grandpa loved his Chesterfields.
