现在你有机会支付$300的机票来享受一次特殊的航空之旅了,尽管永远不会起飞,但是能够让你享受1970年代的美国航空服务。自1930年代至1991 年倒闭之前泛美世界航空(Pan American World Airways)一直是美国主要航空公司,在当时为乘客提供顶级的奢华航空体验。近日航空主题的电影工作室Air Hollywood提供了这项服务,能够让乘客身临其境的穿越时空暂时回到那个年代,感受鸡尾酒、烤熟非礼牛排和科涅克白兰地美酒。
该工作室对一架泛美航空747飞机进行了改造,提供顶级的客舱座椅,在这段旅行过程中能够享受到顶级的美食、鸡尾酒、视频和音频服务。Air Hollywood表示:“机上所采用的玻璃器皿是陶瓷,需要非常小心的对待,机身还会提供非常精致的点心和美食。”
You have an opportunity to spend $300 on a ticket for an airplane that never takes off. What you’re paying for is time travel back to the go-go days of Pan American World Airways in the 1970s. The airline famously went bust in 1991, but not before setting the standard for polyester-era travel luxury.
Air Hollywood, an aviation-themed film studio, is now offering the Pan Am Experience, an immersive jaunt back to a world where orange was a fashionable color and in-flight menus featured items like chicken in wine sauce, grilled filet mignon, and cognac.
The experience takes place in a re-creation of a Pan Am 747, complete with first-class and clipper-class cabin seats. You’ll be treated to cocktails, dinner, and video and audio selections suited to the time period. “Everything from the china to the glassware is authentic with careful attention to the exquisite service delivery of the era and menu offerings of Pan Am,” Air Hollywood promises. The flight attendants are all decked out in original uniforms, complete with gold buttons, wide collars, and weird beige and blue colors.
The dinner events happen irregularly. The next date is October 18. A first-class ticket costs $297, while a clipper-class ticket will cost you $197. Don’t worry about leg room. Remember, this was back in the days when you could actually stretch you legs out on an airplane.
If you’re aching to relive Pan Am luxury or just want to experience a golden era of air travel you missed, then the Pan Am Experience probably isn’t the craziest way to blow $300 in Hollywood. You could always spend that cash on a short-hop flight coach ticket and instead enjoy the authentic experience of modern air travel with your knees in the seat in front of you and your neighbor’s elbow in your rib cage while you snack on a bag of pretzels. On second thought, maybe you better book that Pan Am ticket.
