Yes dad would dress up in a tieless suit if we were down the back and I recall I'd be in my best shirt and shorts with long socks and shoes. People took pride in appearance when flying as airline passengers back in those days. Not like now.
Kids probably went on to join the Industry, never going to happen today.
It was a visit inside the cockpit of the first airliner I flew in, a DC3, that made me want to become a pilot more than ever. The young Captain (who much later line-trained me on the DC9) let me stay for the landing!
