Touchdown in London

Remember what it was like? When jet travel was luxurious and exciting. When you dressed up in your best suit or dress before boarding the plane. When working as a stewardess was almost the same as being a astronaut.

For you who doesn’t, let’s go back in time to 1970. When the first trans Atlantic flight to London was made with the Boeing 747 by the great Pan AM airline.

Ultra Swank will also be heading off to London with a lady friend for a couple of days on Thursday. We will sadly not be traveling in a 747, but as a globe trotter and man about town, I always keep up the style anywhere I go – and so should you.
