First flight ever was Qantas business class from Sydney to London. I was 12
Continental, sometime in the mid 90s.
Sabena. Boston->Brussels in the 90s.
Lufthansa back from Munich Riem.
!The only airport ever with a fly-in McDonalds.!<
Ansett Australia… RIP
The colouring book was mad though
well virgin Australia got quite large
They filled the void for sure
yeah me too. I specifically remember media covering the collapse of Ansett at the same time as 9/11, which seemed interesting that they thought the two were equivalent.
Ansett went on to exist as a training company for a while. Not sure if they still do.
I think I first flew on TAA, from Brisbane to Sydney, then connected to a KLM flight to the Netherlands. Would have been about '83.
Braathens, out of Fornebu. Neither the airline nor the airport exists anymore.
Pan-Am baby
Almost certainly American. My grandfather was a pilot for American, my uncle is currently a pilot for American, and my cousin just got hired as a pilot by American.
I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.
The first time I ever flew was when I was reporting to boot camp. The US Navy chose United Airlines for that trip. I was absolutely nervous.
Weed Airlines
Laker Airlines 1981 - London Gatwick to Tampa
How in the world do you remember the first airline you flew in much less the first twenty?

Lots of people don’t fly.
A few trips ago, I sat next to a guy in his 50s on his first ever flight.
He was so excited. More so than my 4 yo was on his first trip.
I had to teach him how to put his seat back and told him he can keep the headphones and how they used to have these tube headphones and what it was like before 9/11.
Twenty?? Jesus, not everyone is able to travel that much.
It’s not really traveling that much. Depending on how old you are that could be 0-1 times a year.
I’ve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.
I see you haven’t met Southwest’s meth addicted nephew, Frontier Airlines. That’s the real Greyhound of the sky.
Or sun country. Flew them to Alaska and it was like a flying school bus.
