I flew the orignal Braathens on MMX-FBU in in 1992, on what I believe was my first ever logged non-charter flight. I vivdly remember being blown-away when they didn't charge for coffee&cognac after the meal.
Hearing stories like this makes me think about missing out on a special era, but oh well. Aviation today is great in many ways as well.
Being born in a different generation than the general user of this forum, my first flights with Braathens that I can remember were in 2001, flying AES-OSL (no FBU of course) r/t as part of a
Sydentur to AGP. No cognac for me at that age however
Of course, not too long after it became SAS Braathens and then later SAS Norge/SAS.
Anyway, this is getting a bit OT.
