As a kid I always wanted to go to New York and go to the top of the Empire State Building. I flew roundtrip youth standby for $24.00 bucks each
way. That was back in the early 1970's.
Flying these days is becoming very expensive. When you take a trip there are lots of other exepensives, hotel, food, entertainment.
And, back in the 1970s, gas was a buck or so a gallon, and minimum wage was $2.25/hour. But you didn't notice those had changed a little either...
