Around 1968 a flatmate of mine flew Air-India from LHR to Prague and back. He came back with a little booklet handed out to passengers, of very funny cartoons on what to expect in the booking and travelling process. One example was something like ‘during the flight the Captain may pass through the cabin to chat to passengers. When you see him coming, move your wife and your wallet to the other side’. Another was ‘as you leave the aircraft, the hostess will embrace you. This is not a traditional Indian salutation, she is removing the airline cutlery from your pockets’.

The airline’s CEO at the time (it might have been Mr Tata) was well known for his sense of humour. I have a feeling it might even have been he who made the drawings for the book.

Anybody else recall seeing one?
