Interesting comment in the movie was that a guy in tourist class complained that he had paid $500 for his ticket Chicago-Rome. The joke back then was that he was paying one of the lowest fares on the entire plane.</font>
Adjusted for the CPI-U, that $500 in 1970 would have been $2359.83 in 2002. Can you imagine $2300 being the CHEAPEST fare on a flight today?
