So what airline was offering excellent on board service back then in both first and coach?

Ah....Western! And now that I think of it, I believe the northbound nonstop flights to YVR from LAX and SFO offered "Royal Canadian" service while the southbound nonstop flights between these city pairs offered "Western Canadian" service. In any case, the upgraded cabin service was probably the same, only the names were different.

Equipment operated on these flights to and from Vancouver, B.C. in 1968? Most likely our old friend the Boeing 720B.
