By Troy Diggs September 9, 2014 Original Article HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Remember the good old days of air travel, where seats were plush and comfortable, dinner was served on fine china (even in coach), and you could sip a cocktail in a lounge 30,000 feet in the air?

By Fiz-X September 19, 2014 Original Story For a $300 ticket you can experience Pan Am first-class with cocktails, dining and hat-wearing stewardesses. You have an opportunity to spend $300 on a ticket for an airplane that never takes off. What you’re paying for is time travel back to the go-go days of Pan American World Airways in the 1970s. The airline famously went bust in 1991, but not before setting the standard for polyester-era travel luxury. Air Hollywood, an aviation-themed film studio, is now offering the Pan Am Experience, an immersive jaunt back to a world where orange was a fashionable color and in-flight menus featured items like chicken in wine sauce, grilled filet mignon, and cognac.
