"Back in the summer of...'72"
I enjoyed the Icelandair story very much. When I
flew it with my sister Lynn in the summer of '72 for the
coming-of-age summer in Europe, it was indeed Icelandic and all
the rage with college students. The youth fare was a terrific
deal and stopping in Luxembourg was actually fun. We stayed in
a little hotel once we arrived, and then took the train to
Paris. Just about everyone we met traveling around that summer
flew Icelandic. I remember two things very vividly about the
flights: the stewardesses (as they were called then) seemed
stunningly beautiful, and the food was actually good! And I
recall the flights being actually fun -- which most certainly
aren't today. Or was it callow youth??
