[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am old, and travelled a LOT more in the 90's than today - [b]one thing I have noticed OP, is that everyone and their brother travels now - people act different now.  People used to be MUCH more civilized on airplanes.  Travel used to be a much more pleasant experience. I know I sound like your grandparent, but it is true.  [/b]

So no, I am not impressed and I do not think you are a "higher social class" just because you travel. So many people have points, etc. - travel is basically a free for all now. [/quote]

Completely agree and I’m only 41. People used to behave much better.[/quote]

I’m 38 and remember dressing up to take flights, and smoking sections on planes. [/quote]

The US banned smoking on planes in 1988. Did you travel a lot in other countries ?[/quote]

I remember smoking on planes. I was born in 1980. International flights had smoking sections into the mid 1990s. Definitely remember being in the last row of non-smoking with a cigar smoker right behind me! Plenty of people in the non smoking still smoked, taking a walk down the aisle to the smoking back. I also remember watching a young couple chain smoke. All seems very odd nowadays! [/quote]

I didn’t fly a ton when I was a kid, but do remember smokers on planes.  It wasn’t gross then, because smoking was everywhere.  I couldn’t imagine it now.

I remember flying in the 90s and even early 2000s on planes that had ashtrays, but no smoking.  It was usually a sign of an older woman lane[/quote]
