Inevitably air travel was going to become the focus of 3 things at some point, and this is the week!
1. Did you know that American Airlines once offered a lifetime, unlimited, first class travel ticket for $250,000? You could also purchase a companion ticket for $150,000. This was back in 1980, and 28 passes were sold (but 3 have since been revoked). Can you imagine what unlimited, first-class travel would be like?! You can learn more about the ticket here.
2. The Concorde was prohibited from flying at full speed (Mach 2) over land because of the sound from the sonic boom it produced. Here is a video that captures the boom - taken from a boat somewhere in the ocean!
3. And if you're gearing up for a big travel adventure once Covid is over, Round The World plane tickets are still a thing! There are definitely some key points about using them - but you can read more about those here.
'til next week!
