Reply #18: They're now charging for pillows and blankets as well

I remember those good old days too. My first job was in the airline industry. How I loved those cheap tickets from the world's airlines. I remember the excitement of seeing my first 747 and then my first flight to London on Air India 747. Damn the service was something else back in the days - full course meals, Bloody Marys etc.

Like you I hate flying now.
