Wonderful collection, thank you.

A pastime of mine is using Wayback Machine to look at old websites, and the BA website in its early days is a great read. Some highlights:
"Who can use E-ticket? You can! When you book your flight, ask your Travel Agent for an E-ticket. Your booking will be logged in our computer against your Executive Club membership or your E-ticket access card and you will receive an itinerary document to confirm your booking. You don't have to wait for a paper ticket to arrive - so anyone can take advantage of E-ticket's speed and convenience!"
"All domestic flights are non-smoking. Some European and long-haul flights are non-smoking. You should contact your local office for the latest information."

And the super shuttle...
"A full English breakfast, a light lunch or an evening meal is available, accompanied by complimentary drinks."
"Certain Super Shuttle aircraft are now being fitted with the latest credit card payment BT Jetphones. Enabling you to call the office or your home from the comfort of your seat."
" If you're travelling with hand luggage only, you can check in at the departure gate just 10 minutes before your flight is due to leave"

How the world changes in 20 years...
