My very first flight was on American, I can't remember the exact plane, probably a 727, from Phoenix-Chicago O'hare, I've made this fight many times in one direction or the other, on many airlines, generally whoever is cheapest at the time.

Mine was a DC-6 out of Boise, Idaho to San Diego, CA for 12 weeks of fun and frolic courtesy of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children on October 18, 1966. Tongue

I've only flown in small Cessna 152 & 172s! Shocked

I was once on a civil airliner aircraft at an international airport, but it was in for repairs and our family was given a small private tour Cheesy

As I'm sure must have been mentioned here already - a poll wasn't the thing for this question - given that there are SOOOOO many airlines in the world

Mine was B.O.A.C (British Overseas Airlines Corporation)from London to New York in 1962 - Boeing 707 - & in those days kids got a hardback book about the airline & the airliner - a metal model of the BOAC B707 & something else too (maybe a pilot cap - can't remember that bit .. ) & I got a trip to the cockpit! Still remember it even though I was only 3 Wink

2nd was Pan Am from NY to RDU, NC - the same day.

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

Ah the memories...First airliner ever flown on was a USAIR 727 from Cleveland to Boston for the day, as a birthday gift from my father...We flew on a 737 on the way back, would give more detail but this was many moons ago!

Either way I had the time of my life!
