In this collection you are encouraged to compare the comfort of air past decades and in today's day and find out when it was still better. We will look at the technical equipment in airplanes in those years and today, entertainment for passengers, security measures at airports and more.
Security at the airport. Walkthrough metal detector in 1972.

Now it is a touchscreen.
Today we need to stand barefoot in the queue to go through the x-ray scanning
Lounges at airports. Passenger waiting for the flight in 1956.
