Fun new boarding passes for kids
I noticed these at the LAX checkin today and I think it's a lovely touch. I remember getting these when taking the train as a child many years ago. My parents would fill it in with something along the lines of "this ticket is valid from home to grandmother and back home again". The person checking the tickets would clip the kids ticket and take it very seriously.
My little kids will be thrilled to have their own boarding passes on our next family vacation.

This was all pre-9/11. I haven't seen anything like that in years.

(Seriously, though, the image didn't load for me, on several different devices/browsers, so I have no idea what this is.)

This was in 2016; stopped at SFO on our way home from HNL.

Cockpit visits still very much happen. The young 'un in our family was loudly telling me (and the rest of E+) that we were on a 77W from AKL to SFO, and I was trying to tell him that it was a 777-200 ... The purser stepped in, and said "why don't you come and ask the captain?" Luckily the captain knew what kind of plane he was flying, and hearing it from him, the kiddo accepted that I'd been right
