Vintage airline posters that promised glamorous holidays to London, Hawaii and Haiti | Daily Mail Online

Looking at these vintage posters brings tears to my eyes. So many great airlines all gone.

I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again. My first ever flight was on Northwest Orient. I still have the metal cutlery my father appropriated from the meal service on that flight across the Pacific.

Since that flight, I have been to all the cities advertised on those posters, except Haiti. I miss Pan Am, TWA and Continental. They were so glamorous. I dressed up for it. Today, people use a garbage bag as a carry on and wear flip flops.

So sad.
