Having little to no legroom on an airplane is anything but enjoyable. This 1950 Pan American advertisement caters to the complaints of the flying elite by promoting new and improved seating. The ‘sleeperette’ gives night flyers twice the usual legroom and full bed-length comfort. A typical example of the benefit-driven advertising of the 1950s. With a little bit of the cornball flare that was so popular during this time.

FUN FACT: Pan Am fans and aviation buffs can relive the glory days with The Pan Am Experience – a luxurious trip back in time in an exact replica of their Boeing 747.
