When I talk to my children about the halcyon days of airline travel, their eyes glaze over a bit. And then I tell them that - back in the day - my mother wouldn’t board an airplane unless she was wearing her white gloves and a fine hat (complementing her perfect outfit).

This video - introducing the first jet service on Pam Am really shows another era in flying.
