we flew a lot in the late 60's early 70's . it was lousy. double booked seats at least a dozen times. no seats a couple times(got walked off a CO plane onto the tarmac!!!). would book decent seats together, and end up in the middle of a row with kids. no room on a tatl from munich, so we were put on a local to someplace else in germany, put in quaranteen for about 6 hrs, then flew home. quaranteen in purto rico when something was wrong. overbooked all the time. no comp for anything.
in central america, saw a couple friends told to leave the plane. they said stuff it, and the two guys pulled a gun and said "get off the plane"
got on a plane for new orleans from san predo sula, and realized it was going to houston(every body else on the plane went to houston)
