No intrusive security checks OR paying for your drinks: Inside the bygone era when flying across the globe was a real pleasure
Forget aggressive queues, squashed seats and foil boxes of inedible food - there was once an age when flying was something altogether more glamorous.
A set of stunning photographs have emerged from the luxury flights of years gone past when passengers flew in comfort, ate from china and usually gathered at the bar.
It was probably as much the preserve of the rich as such splendor is now but before the era of mass flying and budget airlines, all aspects of air travel were delivered with a style alien to the struggles of modern standard class.
The images released by picture agency Getty range from the very first passenger flights to the 1970s. Suited male passengers and dressed up women are photographed leisurely lounging on leather banquets, looking at the skies from the observation car and socializing around the plane.
