In the old old days there were some flights you could board and then pay the fare on the plane, in cash.

The original Eastern shuttle service on the east coast did that in the 1960s, for example.

And in those same days you didn’t even need a passport. It was just like buying a bus ticket.

Also, smoking was allowed. Now seems so bizzare.

That must have been so miserable for the tiny fraction of people who didn't smoke.
