There was a time when H and V fares were part of a regular SWU! We are starting to go way back though. Boy I feel like a grandpa.

I only got to experience the paper certs for 1.5 years - and I too prefer the e-upgrade system.
Anyone remember setting an alarm clock for 2a.m./3a.m./etc. (23:59 based on the time in the departure city) so one could call AC and secure the upgrade? I certainly don't miss that.

I've certainly set a few 4am alarms

Am I doing this right?
Quick question. When I fly BA this weekend to LHR from YYZ, I fill in the flight info, put my sticker on this, and hand it in when they pull my ticket. Right?

Oh, such lovely wallpaper.
I remember when an agent forgot to keep my SSWU. Those were the days.
I, too, like the new eupgrades. Just wish we could carry them forward > 1 year.
Thanks for showing!

A bit of a tangent in the "throwback" department.....Interesting uniforms.

Well clearly the airplane food back then was inferior to the fine fare provided in AC J nowadays. Everytime I travel with AC, I expect and demand a stuffed rhino to be on the serving trolley with the assorted lion, giraffe and leopard steaks

Am I hallucinating or were the AC 747s really configured 3-4-2 abreast in Y?? Imagine that!

.??? AC F did not have steaks. They had whole beef tenderloins(rare/med rare/ well done) and you selected what you wanted. Food was better in my opinion.
