JFK Airport, 1960s

There was a day when it was glamorous – or at least tolerable – to fly. People dressed up for it and looked forward to the experience. They got little packets of peanuts and weren’t crammed into their seats like inmates on a prison transport. Plus, they didn’t have to park an entire day’s hike from the terminal. The above photo posted by swi66 to the H.A.M.B.’s Vintage shots from days gone by thread shows the American Airlines terminal at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, possibly when it was still known as Idlewild Airport. Take a look at the cars in the image and see if you can pinpoint the date of the photo.
