WIRED has a photo-story with some classic images of Air Hostesses of the past. The outfits and hair are great, and I really wish I could go back in time to exprerience the service and fun of flying, like these stewards who apparently serve as entertainment during flights by doing things like trivia contests mid-flight.
Oh to have real porcelain cups, good scotch served on the rocks, and the great service from the camply dressed stewards. Nowadays it is all about cramming you in, treating everyone like a suspect, and eating with plastic knives, or being forced to sit on a toilet for the entire duration of the flight. I guess I should not be complaining, flights are a lot cheaper, on good planes you get in-seat entertainment, and you can fly from LA to Chicago in a few hours, and not the 20 hour trip with 13 stops of yesteryear.
