Emirates is my favourite. Yeah, if you are after the glamour of air travel these days, fly Emirates Airline, Etihad, Singapour Airlines or similar. Emirates is my favourite.

I agree about the age of the flight attendants. I am originally from Israel and they are much younger there as well. @ cheapsuits: "the golden days of air travel are behind us." Most certainly, and I agree, from personal experience, that American air carriers are the worst. @ Christopher: "the golden days of air travel are behind us." I laughed at that one, then thought that it's actually quite sad. Also true that people used to dress up a lot more in general, not just for air travel. @ Linda: Yes, I am going to BlogHer but can only attend the cocktail parties… hope to meet you too!

It also was a lot more expensive. Now? Cattle call in the air. @Marelisa You're right about people dressing up to go flying. Then again, people use to dress up for many things, like work, sporting events, dinner, church, days that end in "Y," etc. My suit hasn't seen the light of day in years.

You got dressed up, wore ties and everyone got a choice of meals. The Walmartizartion/Southwestification changed all that. I think we are now entering the third era of air travel. Just like the railroad and bus travel in the US, air travel becomes an ugly afterthought . Funny, we used to think of air travel in places like India as daunting and backward crop dusting plane riding affairs. Now those places think of air travel in the US as just that. I read somewhere, that between the Middle East and Far East air carriers, over the next two years ,they are placing what averages to be a brand new plane a day in service. Meanwhile, carriers over here are mothballing thousands of planes. In short, the golden days of air travel are behind us.
