Man oh man! How I wish I were one of the lucky few to have experienced Braniff's First Class service aboard The Big Orange Pumpkin 747 flying daily between Dallas and Honolulu. What a treat that would have been compared to the Coach style schlock that passes for "First Class" service these days. Back then, most people dressed up for a flight in First Class. These days, most people look like they're going to 7-11 for a quart of milk. Eh - Whatever... Times have changed and since most of us up front are there via free upgrades, it's a classic case of you get what you pay for. But - once upon a time, it was a different world we lived in - a much better and simpler world, devoid of today's overpopulation and resultant stresses. As for flying back then, most of us of a certain age can only drool at the memories of when many U.S. airlines offered some of the finest inflight service in the world. Let's head upstairs to the International Lounge for a Pisco Sour and some hors d'oeuvres while we check out the menu for tonight's meal..,
