The Boeing 314 Clipper's Dining Salon: Boeing's 314 Clipper's creature comforts were unexcelled for their time. The Clipper was divided into 11 sections, including five spacious lounges, a deluxe "honeymoon suite" - Winston Churchill's choice whenever he flew on a Boeing Clipper - separate dressing rooms, a bar, a galley and a main recreation area. In the evening stewardesses served gourmet meals on tables covered with Irish linen, bone china, European crystal, and silver.

    Now you have to beg to get a plastic knife to eat your leathery chunk of mystery meat, and pay a days salary for a drink.

    And tickets are still expensive with LONG waiting lines to be screened! At least when you paid a lot for this flight you felt like you were getting something for your money. Oshi Shikigami

    Margaret Siemers "In 1939, a one-way ticket from San Francisco to Honolulu cost $278, and a one-way ticket to Hong Kong cost $1,368. In 2010 dollars, these were $4,317 and $11,803." - See more at: http://www.pacificaviationmuseum.org/pearl-harbor-blog/pan-ams-pacific-clippers#sthash.JBk5Duet.dpuf

    Like I said, Tickets are still expensive. For what you get and have to go through it's too much money.
