Written by April Fulton September 25, 2014 Original Story People who fly coach on domestic carriers these days don’t expect much from the in-flight service beyond watery soda and maybe a salty snack. Or if they’re in the air for a few hours, they might get the option to buy a “meal” that looks like a cross between hospital food and school lunch. But that’s not how it used to be. Back in the 1920s, just a few adventurers took flight — think Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh — and they usually brought their own sandwiches, according to the History Channel blog, Hungry History. As air travel attracted more pleasure passengers in the 1930s, i.e. the wealthy, flight attendants began […]

By Cheryl K. Chumley September 26, 2014 Original Story Who says you can’t go back in time? A Pan Am memorabilia collector is offering those who recall the golden age of flying — as well as those who want to experience it for the first time — a retro Boeing 747 setting, complete with 1960s-styled seats and uniformed flight attendants and top-of-the-line dining. The only glitch: The plane never leaves the ground. So-called “passengers” can taste the good old days of flying, minus the flight, for $297 for a first class ticket or $197 for a clipper class ticket, the Daily Mail reported. The ticket buys access to the Los Angeles-based Air Hollywood sound stage, where crew members dressed from […]

That’s right, buckle up, because we’re about to tell you about The Pan Am Experience: an immersive $297 dinner and movie event (set inside a perfectly recreated, 1970s Pan Am 747) that promises to recapture that aforementioned glamor. While the famous airline hasn’t existed for 23 years, some superfans are still weirdly obsessed with it. Enter: […]

By Gabe Zaldivar September 30, 2014 Original Story Until wild-haired scientists perfect flux-capacitor technology, we are stuck with our own imagination to sate our time travel needs. Thankfully, Air Hollywood is providing all necessary imagination for their upcoming Pan Am Experience. Air Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)—a studio that provides airline and airport sets for film producers—is opening its doors for a peek at what airplane travel was aboard a Pan Am 747 with a dinner extravaganza. If that sounds interesting, you are not alone. According to the event’s page, four of the six remaining dates have been sold out. As of this writing, the Dec. 20 “Holiday Flight” has just a few tickets available. The demand seems to have caused organizers […]
