@Ben 8282 I agree. Watching the video and thinking 🤔 to myself when does a fight between passengers begin

How incredibly formal it all was in the day. That as my day and how things are now more relaxed and casual. Air travel then was special, not anymore.

It seriously does need to go back to those times, a time of true class and formality - even though I was only born in 1970, I had a glimpse of those times and given the stories told me by my grandparents and compared to today, it was far better back then, even before my time

@@michaeljohndennis2231 I agree but I think the majority (apart from those who can afford other than economy) are wanting value rather than fuss. I've travelled since the 60's and back then even economy passengers had a menu and you could buy duty-free on board plus airline souvenirs. It was dressing for the part too, formal, many very elegant. I'm glad I had those experiences

@@michaeljohndennis2231 It is said that, 'history always repeats itself' and in many ways that is true. However, in realty many things cannot and I suppose that is called 'progress'. The Boeing 747 changed air travel forever and gave an opportunity for many more people to travel for less expense. Yes, those former days of air travel made every passenger feel somehow 'special' and still can for those who can afford to pay more for a seat.

Hi - nice video, and I really enjoyed watching it. Since this is from the 1960s, however, it would be a BEA cabin crew recruitment video. British Airways didn't exist in the 1960s: the merger of BEA and BOAC wasn't legislated until 1973, and the combined airline didn't begin commercial operations as 'British Airways' until 1 April 1974.

BA did not exist in the 60s. It was BOAC or BEA.

Yes, i thought that was odd, if you're in ATC why leave a very well paid job (even then) for an airline?........Maybe that's the trainee who passed with honours?.....

That surprised me too, but maybe they wanted to get out of the control room and see the world...... Also working as cabin crew had more cachet back then.

Working as cabin crew was much more glamourous back then. Flying was much more exclusive.

As I recall flight BE266 was actually a multi sector service with slightly different routing depending on the day of the week, the route that sticks out in my mind was Rome, Athens, Istanbul and Ankara. I doubt that the Trident 1 shown in the film would have been capable of a direct LHR-IST flight, if it was then it would have been very weight restricted. The uniform that the stewardess is wearing was introduced in 1967.

I worked for Amtrak and when working First Class on their MetroLiner and Acela Service between Washington DC NYC and Boston the Attendants hand carried the meals/drinks like the Stewardesses in this video

Beautiful girls, elegant uniforms and a stewardess, not a flight attendant

Our guide studiously ignored the male flight attendants - she appeared ready to give them a severe hand bagging should they dare to take centre stage.😃

Well, sorry but the recorded voice is surely not the voice of the FA in the video. The FA carrying drinks was a bit scared, she worried about not dropping glasses and cans. They did not have carts, having to hand carried those trays. She had to be fast.
