Pan am documentary

Just thought to post this interesting piece of history.
A chance for the ones (like me) who didn't have the pleasure to be in that era, an opportunity to catch up with the memories for the ones who flew back then.

Searched old post and doesn't seem it was posted before, or I just used wrong keywords

Does anyone know how much did cost F ticket, let's say JFK-LHR or equivalent TATL between 1968 and 1972 ?

Believe this was produced by BBC Two. I enjoyed watching it.

This was nice...! Funny thought that (although it's been pointed out that the documentary was by BBC Two) a whole heap of the people on the documentary about an American airline were British... :-)

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. ^

Still unbelievable how this impressive airline has been treated and drived to bankruptcy.

I prefer deregulation and cheaper fares, thanks.

Rule of thumb is that prices today are 40% lower in real terms than they were just before deregulation in 1978.

Agree with you 100%.
Only amazes me how the airline was hammered by US admin.

Asimmetric landing fees, overpricing foreign postal service, interests rates on loans twice as market conditions.
