In the good old days CP Air (before they became Canadi>n) used to have a coffee drink called, I think, Empress … something or other. It was exquisite ! Good coffee, some good Canadian whiskey, cointreau and whipped cream. They used to mix it seat side and ask you how much of each ingredient you wanted. They were very generous. This was also before there was a domestic business class. Just First and Economy. This was Economy!
Meals were served on china, with a silver service.
To die for on the evening flight out of Toronto back to Vancouver.
