What a spectacular response! THANKS to all who have taken the time to post these great menus! It's going to take me forever to transcribe this thread to my collection of great FT Trip Reports, but I am most certainly looking forward to it.

The following menu is from a Braniff flight between Dallas and London in 1978. The menu itself measured approximately 18” X 10” - double that folded out – and depicted a colorful and detailed map of the world showing ocean ridges and trenches as well as rivers, mountains and cities. This flight was initially operated with Braniff’s 747-127 N601BN, in its time the single most heavily utilized 747 in the world. It was the 100th 747 off the Boeing line and featured six different lounges. By the time this 747 was retired with Tower Air, she had logged more flight hours than any other 747 in the world.

Flight attendants wore Pucci designed outfits and the upstairs International Lounge served Pisco Sours.
