Remember the early days of VS?
When Upper Class when truly a whole new kind of thinking? (Yes, seat pitch was only 40 inches. But in 1985, it was ahead of it’s time!)
When you could get a manicure in-flight.
When you purchased Upper Class, you got a voucher for a free economy flight (that could be used toward the purchase of Upper Class).
