    I remember TWA being referred to as 'Try Walking Across' back in the day.
    They're also fúcking surly. Airlines are one place where British customer service is infinitely better than American in my experience.

    I used to regularly take a Pan Am flight from Heathrow to Frankfurt, which originated in New York and stopped at Heathrow for fuel. The reason it couldn't get all the way to Frankfurt in one hit was that it was the world's oldest 727, rattling its way across the pond years after it should have been relegated to flying contraband in West Africa.

    It was quite weird on my first domestic flights over there. You see those standby screens at the gates. Looks like bingo.

    Even the staff were laid back. 'This flight is going to Vegas, we may go to LA afterwards we may not.'

    The aircraft they use for internal flights over there are incredibly tatty old pieces of shīt they clearly just flog and flog until they die.

    Yes. Sadly, their attitude towards hold luggage is equally lackadaisical

    For instance, I've never been to Nashville, but my fúcking bag has.

    I had an old McDonnell-Douglas from Vegas to San Fran, 1st class consisted of a marginally larger seat and a glass of Champagne on take off.
