I am looking forward to the Braniff menu but it will be for F, not the back of the bus, right? Anyway, I had the "pleasure" of being on a very crowded flight in July of 1980. LAX-CDG, changing at a sweltering DFW, where they ran out of ice for drinks in the terminal and we then sat on the runway for 20 minutes, waiting for our turn to take off. Not very ladylike, but I was sweating like a pig. Couldn't sit with my group--was with a few Texas doctors who were feeling no pain. Had to land in Amsterdam and before Paris we were served croissants and champaigne, which was a nice touch. I'd taken a sleeping pill so slept through that. That's about the time I became an EC member and have flown non-stop, LAX-LHR ever since.
