I spent part of this morning online searching for additional Vintage Airline Seat Maps to add to my collection, and I came across this video montage of Continental Airlines TV commercials from the 1970s and 1980s.
It’s a pretty amusing look back, and a couple of them highlight Continental’s DC-10s with both a first class lounge and pub in coach, the latter of which included a video pong console. Yes… this pong:
“Pub pong” on Continental Airlines
(Here’s a link to the DC-10 seat map for one of Continental’s pub configurations from the 1980s.)
I love the theatrics of some of the commercials, too… enjoy!
