Great information, Seat2A!!

One additional bit of trivia from the back recesses of my mind ... Back in those days airline clubs were no-charge, by invitation only. Airlines would give memberships to big customers, celebrities, etc. Ralph Nader sued the airlines, claiming that since fares were regulated, non-members were subsidizing the cost of the clubs. He won, and the airlines opened membership to anyone, but instituted the fees.
