Here’s the last Vintage Airline Seat Map of 2012 – a high-density United Airlines Boeing 747-100 seen flying the skies in 1998.

Video: Pan Am First Class trip report Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires in 1989
I’ve had Pan Am on the mind this week ever since hearing about the possibility of new drama series coming to TV this fall. I scoured YouTube and found this gem someone posted from a trip they took in First Class from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires in 1989. My first reaction was, “Wow……
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Northwest Airlines 747
As I mentioned in my original Vintage Airline Seat Map post, the DC-10 is absolutely one of my favorite airplanes. The 747 is right up there, so I’d be hard-pressed to ever commit to an all-time favorite. This week, I’m featuring a Northwest Airlines 747. I’m not exactly sure if this is a -100 or…
