How did ppl book flights before the internet?

[Harry Sax]

Let me guess they had to call Delta and ask what flights were available

Spirit and Frontiers phone line had a 2 hr wait, that’s if you can get thru with out the call dropping

So basically you had to call an 800 number and hope they have a flight around the time you need it

You would just show up at the airport and tell them where u wanted to go. Plane would take you.

nah there was mad mom and pop stores growing up that did that. It was like a travel agent/Internet cafe type shyt.

they’d have flyers for Disney vacation packages. A phone booth to make international calls, western union type of money wiring, bill payments, and of course purchase flights. Idk how they did it though.

Before the internet was the dark ages. The world literally changed with the internet. Pre and post internet are different time periods for real. I think historians in the future will separate the world in this way. I wonder what they will call this new way of living

I’m 34 so I remember life before the internet, during the beginning and of course now, but I was too young to be booking flights n shyt like that

Go to a travel agency (they use to have actual offices in strip malls)

Call the airline directly


And...

You would just show up at the airport and tell them where u wanted to go. Plane would take you.

And you could do that shyt 30 minutes before the plane took off too . Obviously pre 9/11

My auntie was a travel agent. Imma ask her. It's a good question if you're mid 30's and under.
