What An In-Flight Meal Looked Like In 1960

In this captivating video, viewers are transported back to the golden age of air travel in 1960, where in-flight meals were a culinary experience rather than a mere convenience. Elegantly presented on fine china, these meals featured a variety of gourmet options, complete with fresh salads, hearty entrees, and even desserts, often accompanied by a selection of wines. The attention to detail and the emphasis on comfort starkly contrast with today’s often bland, pre-packaged offerings, highlighting how air travel once prioritized passenger satisfaction with a touch of luxury that has largely faded in the modern era.
