My father took us to Hawaii and/or Montana in the 50s.
Toronto - Calgary on a North Star was cacophonus. A very small taste of what Bomber Command crews went through.
The Viscount was a delight
Besides the wonderful windows, I believe that it was the most comfortable airliner I have been on. Lots of room, but remember that ten year olds find more elbow room than adults.
Some decades later I spent several hours in a Viscount simulator. It was a very honest aircraft, but the instructor did his best to "kill" pilots with multiple failures
