Airline "crop duster". And he did loops for me. Take that, all you boring airliners!

TWA

It was July 1988 and I had never flown on an airplane before. I flew on 10 airplanes in 21 days (with some driving from Frankfort to West Berlin and then to East Berlin.)

• Los Angeles to New York
• New York to Brussels
• Brussels to Frankfort
• East Berlin to Kiev
• Kiev to Moscow
• Moscow to Leningrad
• Leningrad to East Berlin
• Frankfort to Brussels
• Brussels to New York
• New York to Los Angeles

Ansett Australia.. RIP

The colouring book was mad though

TWA as a very young kid - I kept trying to pronounce it as a word and my dad was giggling and my mom and sister kept shushing me...I did not know why at the time.

How in the world do you remember the first airline you flew in much less the first twenty?

Kingfisher Airlines (India).

When it was operative, it was luxury flight at same "ordinary" prices as other airlines.

They were amazing back then.

Pan Am.

TAA (Trans Australian Airlines) just flying domestically in Australia

Almost certainly American. My grandfather was a pilot for American, my uncle is currently a pilot for American, and my cousin just got hired as a pilot by American.

I don't remember; I was a baby.

Royal Air Force being emergency evacuated.

Braathens, out of Fornebu. Neither the airline nor the airport exists anymore.

Ryanair when I was around 13/14yo. I wasn’t expecting something like business class on a A380, but boi that was a surprise. But I still enjoyed the take off.

Continental Airlines, way back in the 1960's.

I'm the first one to mention Finnair?

Laker Airlines 1981 - London Gatwick to Tampa

Probably AirFrance

Air Canada. It was the first time I ever left home. Now I try to fly WestJet if I can. Air Canada has lost my bags like 60% of the time.

Midway Airlines out of Midway Airport, Chicago back when they had their own airline. We got pb&j’s on a frisbee we got to keep. :). Things are a little different now…

Can't remember the first airline proper, but my first flight was with a bush pilot. Old, well beaten floatplane, the first leg of our trip. Took a week to walk back, stopping to fish on every lake along the way.

Braniff

Possibly Delta, though we only flew a handful of times when I was a kid, and I don't remember very well.

Continental, sometime in the mid 90s.

Sabena. Boston->Brussels in the 90s.

Lufthansa back from Munich Riem.

!The only airport ever with a fly-in McDonalds.!<

First flight ever was Qantas business class from Sydney to London. I was 12

The first time I ever flew was when I was reporting to boot camp. The US Navy chose United Airlines for that trip. I was absolutely nervous.

US Airways or United I believe. I don't remember my first flight but those were the airlines my family always flew growing up.

PSA in 1984

Now defunct, Kingfisher Airlines.

Piedmont. From CLE to OWB. This was probably 87 or 88?

Jetblue

Delta, 1983, SLC to MPLS

Eastern.

Pan-Am baby
