(Introduction) 'Everything associated with airlines is somehow marvellous: the forms, graphics and interiors of the aircraft themselves; the in-flight magazines, meal service and amenity kits; the flight attendants; the airports; the ticket holders, and so on. Reflecting on the source of that marvel, one cannot help but feel an indefinable awe for "sky travel" at play.
This book is a collection of airline-related design works, past and present from countries all over the world. Items range from giveaways handed out onboard airplanes today to those rarely seen and difficult to come by, including first-class amenity kits, menu cards, in-flight magazines and service guides. All pleasantly reflect the cultural heritage of the country each airline represents. Highlights include the flight attendants from the now defunct Braniff Airlines, the trendsetters of 60s and 70s style.
We feel confident that this book, brimming with the excitement of travel, will serve as a design source not only for airline lovers, but anyone involved in creative endeavours. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many people at the agencies and airlines who despite their busy schedules provided materials for this book.'
