During the late 80's, there were flights from JFK to LHR, CDG, FRA, Zurich, Oslo Fornebu, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rome, Barcelona (nonstops during the summer), Lisbon, Athens, CDG-Munich/Geneva/and Stuttgart. Nice, Moscow, and Hamburg were served for a short time. Vienna was served from another city (FRA?). Bombay was also served.
As was Madrid.
I really liked the unlimited international upgrades to business class for Gold card holders (25K miles flown, IIRC, got you Gold). When you checked in, if there was a seat available in Business, it was yours for the asking. Frequently they would upgrade your traveling companion as well, even though she (in my case) wasn't Gold.
What a great airline in those days!
