Now , for roughly what it costs to fly to Ft . Lauderdale , you’re able to turn back the clock .
Air Hollywoodis a companionship in LA that specializes inmovie sets for plane footage — this is where , for example , airborne scene in Bridesmaids and The Wolf of Wall Street were filmed . It maintains multiple aircraft for photographic film crew to habituate — and leave them to castrate the construction of the planes in lodge to get just the proper shot . The company also operate a issue of programs out of its blank — includingFearless Flight , a program designed to help people with fear of flying cope and a similar programme forautistic fliers .
Then there’sThe Pan Am Experience : A once - a - calendar month result that lets anyone with $ 297 ( or $ 197 , if they do n’t take care “ Clipper Class ” ) wax into Air Hollywood ’s perfect recreation of a 1970s - epoch Pan Am 747 and expend a few hours , well , luxuriating :
Your Pan Am experience starts on the main pack of cards with a cocktail and beverage serving in the First Class cabin . Each air hostess that greets you will be grace in her original 1970 ’s Pan Am uniform . Our Pan Am bunch will offer various television & audio selections while you sit back in your Pan Am Sleeperette fundament and sip a cocktail .
Soon after , you ’ll go up the twist stairway where the crew will fix your table for a truly memorable dining event . In classic Pan Am fashion , you ’ll be offered your preferent cocktail and served a delightful gourmet meal .

The whole affair live on for four hr , roughly the amount of time it have to get through security on a Saturday afternoon at O’Hare .
But are we really so starved for transatlantic love affair that we ’d pay hundreds of dollars to sit in a warehouse for four 60 minutes guess to flee ? Apparently . Here area few followup of the experience :
I loved Pan Am . Also when people had respect for how they dressed on an airplane . Last time I flew there was a douche bag in a armored combat vehicle top and short stinking up the plane .
I Miss the previous PanAm you could smoke on the planer & it had a sprial staircase … So So unique
Which makes you wonder : Is it really just the airline business that have change , or are we , the passengers , at least a small bit to fault , too ? The next trajectory takes off , in a manner of speaking , on October 18 . Buy your ticketshere . [ H / tLaughing Squid ]
