mrsgreenpotato,

Vueling, Spanish low-cost carrier, from Berlin to Bilbao on my first international business trip back in 2017. I loved the announcements in Spanish during the flight.

wisplike_sustainer,

Can’t remember the first airline proper, but my first flight was with a bush pilot. Old, well beaten floatplane, the first leg of our trip. Took a week to walk back, stopping to fish on every lake along the way.

Lauchmelder,

The first one ever was Lufthansa, the first one I flew with by myself was Korean Air

sara,

I’ve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.

Raiderkev,

I see you haven’t met Southwest’s meth addicted nephew, Frontier Airlines. That’s the real Greyhound of the sky.

Today,

Or sun country. Flew them to Alaska and it was like a flying school bus.

How in the world do you remember the first airline you flew in much less the first twenty?

dingus,

Twenty?? Jesus, not everyone is able to travel that much.

It’s not really traveling that much. Depending on how old you are that could be 0-1 times a year.

PonyOfWar,

Not sure if this is supposed to be some kind of humblebrag, but in 30 years I‘ve flown with 4 airlines. Don‘t think I‘ll get to 20 in my lifetime.

PetDinosaurs,

Lots of people don’t fly.

A few trips ago, I sat next to a guy in his 50s on his first ever flight.

He was so excited. More so than my 4 yo was on his first trip.

I had to teach him how to put his seat back and told him he can keep the headphones and how they used to have these tube headphones and what it was like before 9/11.

Weed Airlines

thisbenzingring,

The first time I ever flew was when I was reporting to boot camp. The US Navy chose United Airlines for that trip. I was absolutely nervous.

hardcoreufo,

I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.

Nemo,

Almost certainly American. My grandfather was a pilot for American, my uncle is currently a pilot for American, and my cousin just got hired as a pilot by American.

HurlingDurling,

Pan-Am baby

vettnerk,

Braathens, out of Fornebu. Neither the airline nor the airport exists anymore.

FrostyCaveman,

Ansett Australia… RIP

The colouring book was mad though

I think I first flew on TAA, from Brisbane to Sydney, then connected to a KLM flight to the Netherlands. Would have been about '83.

Pregnenolone,

yeah me too. I specifically remember media covering the collapse of Ansett at the same time as 9/11, which seemed interesting that they thought the two were equivalent.

Ansett went on to exist as a training company for a while. Not sure if they still do.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

well virgin Australia got quite large

FrostyCaveman,

They filled the void for sure

philpo,

Lufthansa back from Munich Riem.

!The only airport ever with a fly-in McDonalds.!<

althae,

Sabena. Boston->Brussels in the 90s.
