Jet Age travel
So far we have stayed on the ground, exploring the past. Now it's time to take to the skies and go back 40 years or so when air travel was considered a privilege and the first travel choice for the international jet set person.
My personal airline favorites are "Pan Am" and "Braniff", dont' really know why but I really like the Pan AM logo and I really dig the cool paint schemes Braniff had. In fact I really love the whole Braniff concept with their colors, design, clothes, air strip and what not. Obviously none of the two airlines survied the strikes and high oil prices in the late 1970s.
On with the photos, look how neat and cosy everything was back in the late 1960s, early 1970s. That was back in the days, when you could get free layovers if you scored with one of the stewardesses. Oh, well...

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

And everybod got nicely dressed to travel. Not like these days when it is just slob-a-rama all the time everywhere.
I dig the interior of the plane.
Thanks!
