A Pan Am Flight Attendant on Air Travel's Golden Age

from Travelogue | Condé Nast Traveler · host Condé Nast Traveler

It's in our fantasies as we shuffle the TSA line dropping belts and shoes into buckets, or jam ourselves between the iron-maiden-esque armrests of a middle seat: a vision of bygone days when airline crews were uniformly charming and gorgeous, the meals opulent, and "inflight-entertainment" meant heading to the lounge for a smoke and a cocktail. On today's podcast, we revisit those days with someone who actually lived through them as special guest Linda Joyce, who worked as a Pan Am stewardess in the '60s and '70s, drops by to give us the inside scoop on what it was really like to fly during the Golden Age of Air Travel.
