PeopleExpress
Contributing to another thread brought back memories of travelling with PeopleExpress. Has anyone any interesting stories/recollections?
I remember, in particular: the crowding in the old North Terminal at Newark, especially on Friday evenings; the difficulties getting through to their reservations' department on the 'phone; flying on tired/old 727s and 737s; the $20 one way fares, which were amazing; the "cardboard" tickets (so different to the standard IATA ones); the fact that so much luggage was brought into the cabin (to avoid paying to check it in - nothing new there, then!) allied to a lack of doors to the overheads (if I remember correctly); and the general feeling that we were experiencing something new and innovative.
