I am so thankful my flying days are over! I flew to over 100 countries as a tourist from 1970 to 2000. Easy boarding, no body searches, rarely any inconveniences. Even the coach lounges had a bar area setup where people could gather and have a party. Those were the days when flying was actually an enjoyable part of the trip. I wouldn't get on a plane now if they paid me.
