Air travel experienced its golden age. Once the plane was much more space, a stylish interior and a striking design. In the 1970s, Europeans could enjoy the flight in the atmosphere of an elite club on board the Boeing 747.
The first class, as now, was at the top. There could be loose enough to stay, like a real living.
This model started to develop in 1960, when the airline Pan Am placed an order with Boeing aircraft on 400 seats. The head of the airline planned to make a double decker plane, but the crew Boeing designers doubted that it was a good idea. Designers were supporters of wide fuselage, which at that time was more than justified from an engineering and economic points of view, as well as the safety position. Boeing built a prototype of the cabin, which is then used in these aircraft airline Pan Am, TWA, American, United, National, Continental, Iberia, JAL and SAS.

Comfortable sofas for discerning passengers.
A characteristic feature - a wide seat and a lack of shelves for hand luggage on his head.
Entrance to the first-class cabin.
Cozy Corner, is not it?
The lounge area with cupholders and ashtrays.
Funny and beautiful stewardesses.
Plenty of legroom.
The prototype aircraft for the economy class cabin with 400 seats with a wide fuselage.
Above the middle seat next to no shelves for hand luggage, and the side are not as big as it is now.
In the first class passengers are all conditions to totally relax.
Here, even the luggage compartment looks like a scene from Kubrick's "Space Odyssey 2001".
