There was an era when travelling by plane meant dressing in your finest, pulling on the white gloves, and expecting to be swathed in the kind of glamour and top-notch service that you’d find in New York City’s finest restaurants.

Come fly with us, as Frank Sinatra might have said, and take a flight back to the heyday of Pan Am.
