It is interesting that people remember this stuff. I flew as a tourist/holiday maker back in the 60s and 70s. I have no idea who I flew with. They were aeroplanes, that's all!! It's a bit like the other thread about seats on BA. I have trouble remembering where I was going, so I can't remember seats and plane types.
Clearly, I am not much influenced by brands!
The most memorable flight for me was Laker to The west Coast in 1979.
Beyond that, all flights were on planes! - Until 1989 when I joined BAEC as I started a Global job.
and, for Mr UKGooner, I did fly to Belgium in 1970.
