When Trans World Airlines went bankrupt in 2001, it looked like the end for architect Eero Saarinen's classic TWA Terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, one of the most distinctive buildings in the world. But it was rescued from the bulldozer by building preservationists, and the magnetic terminal that once drew air travelers has now been transformed into the nostalgic TWA Hotel, which recalls the glamour of '60s jet-setting aviation. Kris Van Cleave checks in.

In 1976 I flew on the last Boing 707 TWA flight from Lisbon to JFK. We only had 20 passengers and at least 10 stewardesses! The best party I ever had, nobody wanted to leave the plane! I do so miss TWA and the whole flight experience in those days.

I miss the 707. It was such a nice plane. I remember TWA was I think the first airline offering movies on board. It was a simple projector and a small screen in the front. The meals were always a delicious steak and a cheese cake. Then later they downgraded.

I miss the 707 as well. I remember as a kid, that was the only plane where my ears didn’t block bad on take off and landing. Heck, I wouldn’t even be alive if it wasn’t for the 707 and an incredible TWA captain - my mother was on board one that was in a mid-air collision over CT, and landed safely, before I was born.

I remember going into this terminal for the first time in August of 1962 when it was a new building, with my father to pick up my mother and brother on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. It was the summer before my senior year in high school. I was quite impressed and remember those sort of tubes with the red carpeting and the indirect lighting as you walk through them on your way to the airport gates. As an adult in the1970's and beyond took some TWA Flights into New York from California where I had relocated and the building still looked as wonderful as every. Glad it's getting a new life now and not torn down. It has an ageless look to it.

I remember flying first class on TWA to Heathrow with my mother and with our TWA tote bags. They served prime rib from movable carts for dinner. And, when we got stuck in Heathrow's holding pattern behind the Concord (who ran low on fuel and unlike our Boeing plane had to divert to Gatwick lol). TWA was a wonderful airline.

If as claimed all the nasty stuff from the 1960's building (lead paint, asbestos) is gone, then this is a win, win. A famous design kept from the wreckers and a new hotel where needed. JFK had no on airport hotel until this. The nearest choices were dreary places right outside the airport in dicey locations.

In 1987, I went on my first flight to Europe with my French language high school class. On the way over, our luggage was lost so we all wore the same clothes for 10 days, washing them out in hotel sinks every night. But on our way home, I'll never forget the stewardesses' kindness in letting us high school girls come into the first class section for a while. They didn't have to do that. They were really kind.

I was in the 3rd grade when the building was first announced, along with the start of jet flight. For a 9 year old, it couldn't get more exciting that that, not that I would ever get to fly in a jet or walk into a TWA lounge. Fast forward a few years, I went to see a college roommate off to his first trip to Israel, TWA 640 I believe. While waiting, for his flight, there was Sophia Loren filming, I have no idea what. But there she was, Sophia Loren, in the TWA terminal! And fast forward a few more years, I was catching a TWA charter flight to Italy, the start of my medical school training. Sophia wasn't there, but I recall the event like it was yesterday. TWA 707 charter to Chiampino Airport, Rome. And then many transatlantic flights, New York to Rome, to Milan, to Tel Aviv. The building, once inside is much smaller appearing than it seems in the videos. But man, what amazing memories I've got! Would I stay there for $300 a night? Much as I despise JFK and New York in general, answer: in a heart beat! And a drink in a Connie? Ya godda be kiddin' me! Sad that the competing PanAm terminal self destructed into a pile of leaking rubble. This is probably the best news coming out of New York since the British took Manhattan from the Dutch in 1664!

When dinner was ready, you went upstairs for cocktails and hors d' oeuvres before sitting down to a fabulous dinner. There were name cards on the tables. I sat next to the first lady of Spain who told me to come by the palace while I was visiting.

I remember my first First Class flight. It was TWA Royal Ambassador class (that is what it was called back in the 90's) from New York to Paris. The Flight Attendants would come by with glasses of champagne and canapes right after the flight took off and asked everyone how they would like to be addressed. I said "Your Royal Highness" would be fun! The Flight Attendant laughed and said that would be going too far, so we settled on first named basis of address. The good old days!

I'm more of a Pan Am fan and I honestly wish that the World Port was still around, but I have to say TWA was a great airline as well.

Thank god for Tyler Morse and members of his MCR team for reclaiming Eero Saarinen's architecture landmark TWA Flight Center at JFK for future generations to cherish and experience the dawning of America's Jet Age! The Jetsons and Howard Hughes would Approve!

Back when I was a kid in the 70s, my clock radio had that style flipper display. Thinking of it now, I bet those could be collectables. This was a very entertaining video! Thank you!! Edited to add, this airport reminds me a LOT of Lambert Field St. Louis. That's where I've been living since I was born. TWA had a hub here and I really miss them! That almost killed Lambert when they left and there are still vacant corridors/gates because of it.

Too bad they demolished Pan Am World Port - they couldn't find a way to do something similar to save the Aviation Landmark?

That's such a shame :( The only time I flew aboard a Pan Am flight was with my brother and our parents. We were coming back home to San Francisco from Honolulu.
