My parents regularly put us on direct flights to California and Alabama to visit our Grands. My brother and I would fly 1st Class - due to our miles alone. We also racked up miles/frequent flyer status when we lived in West Germany.

I also remember them giving us candy cigarettes and shirley temples post meal time when we were little!

I have some of my inflight activity kits intact - never opened from TWA.
