Flying in the 1960s was an event with passengers often dressing up for the occasion. Pan Am, a pioneer of this golden era of aviation, encapsulated the stylish and elegant air travel experience. The in-flight experience was luxurious and sophisticated, featuring gourmet meals from renowned chefs served on fine china. Entertainment included in-seat audio channels for music and, later in the decade, onboard films. Amenities such as spacious seats, smoking lounges, and cocktail bars were standard. This era was an embodiment of glamour and prestige in air travel.
