My Parents found an old ticket from when I flew alone to see my grandparents when I was 7 yrs old. Anyway, thought I would post the information. Kind of neat. I can remember that it was not a non-stop flight, but cant remember where we went. It was a one-way ticket. (no, they didn’t leave me there, they drove up to come and get me) Eastern Airlines Flight # 838Y 7/6/1978 7:25 AM PBI-PHL - 1 stop in between Seat 20 E base fare was 58.33 tax was 4.67 total was 63.00 ---

Of course this was a while ago. ---

Of course this was a while ago. I actually thought it was a little high for a one-way ticket. Last year you could get a 59.00 PBI-JFK one way. Of course there are alot more fees and taxes now and that 59.00 would turn into 99.00. ---

If I was at my last job I could’ve looked that flight up and told you where it stopped and what aircraft operated it. We had OAG’s going back to 1976 ---

I remember I paid $51.00 each way to go from DC to PHL. I think it might’ve been a couple of years before 1978. I’d have GLADLY paid $10.00 more each way for a longer flight! ---

The Cokes were free back in those days. ---

My parents weren’t even thinking about conceiving me back then 😛… shucks, they probably didn’t even know each other… Either I’m young or you’re old… 😛😉 ---
