The following menu is from a flight between London and Miami in 1974. Flight time was listed at 9 hours and 20 minutes. There were no First Class Suites aboard British Airways 747s back then. There was an upstairs lounge, however. After cocktails and canapes in the lounge, perhaps a spot of lunch in the main cabin…
