It’s still quite the workhorse for Delta Air Lines today, and appearing below in this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps is the original seating layout for the airline’s “Super 80†MD-88s first delivered in 1987. Besides the amount of cabin real estate the rear galley occupied, there’s not too much to note about this…

It’s time again for a little regional airline love in this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Appearing below is an American Airlines (Eagle) Shorts 360 seen flying the skies in the early 1990s.

Vintage Airline Seat Map: Air France 3-Class Airbus A300
It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map and I’ve selected a three-class Air France Airbus A300 seen flying the skies in the late 1980s. A couple of interesting things to note below are the white seats behind row four, and those in the middle section of row 40. I’m assuming they were crew rest…

Vintage Airline Seat Map: Continental Airlines DC-9-30 from 1987
For this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps, I bring you a Continental Airlines DC-9-30 seen flying the skies in 1987. I previously posted Continental’s DC-9-10 seat map, and this “stretched†-30 version was produced in competitive response to the Boeing 737. This bird lacked a forward lavatory, so first class passengers had to make…

I’ve posted several United 747s in the past (here, here and here), and now bring you the version I most frequently flew in the 1990s for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.
