How we flew in the jet-set era of the 1960s with dominos and fine wines. There was plenty of room but not much in-flight entertainment so it was a good book, chess, cards, or dominos to keep us amused. And meals were a grand affair even in economy! Here are a few Airlineratings.com archive images from flying in the 1960s the jet-set era. According to grammarist.com, the expression jet set was coined by Igor Cassini, a society page writer for the New York Journal-American who published under the pen name, Cholly Knickerbocker. First Class easyjet launches ambitious net-zero program Cathay Pacific Airways welcomes end to HK quarantine About AirlineRatings.com Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
