My 1st flight ever was on Eastern. It was PHL-MIA in the early 70s and iirc, the food served was a chicken stuffed with a cream-type sauce ang egg noodles. I thought it rocked ^
I don't want to say who (because the statute of limitations may not have run) but, shall we say, I have a friend who flew out for ten days, returned to a nearby city or to the original departure city for a very short turnaround (you couldn't "stop" in your original departing city until the end of the ticket) on several occasions and a different person flew the remainder of the itinerary. As if $249 per ticket (at the start) wasn't cheap enough. (As partial justification, each of the ticket sharers were so impressed with the service they went on to buy their own ticket on many subsequent occasions.)
One of the places we went regularly was to Martinique. The return home, all in one day, was FDF-MIA, MIA-ATL, ATL-Omaha, Omaha-SEA. I believe I had the same chicken dinner on the last three legs - because we were traveling west it was always dinner time. I even hid a hair under an uneaten portion of my meal on the second leg, just to see if I got the same exact meal on the third leg. Good news - my hair wasn't there. Bad news - someone else's was :>)
