Firstly, I’ve started this thread in Historic as these images are of old stuff, but if its better suited in Commercial, then please move it Mods.
I was having a loft sort out and rediscovered these, hopefully they will be of interest.
To start with, my first commercial flight, at the age of 3, was Luton to Jersey with BMA, heres their 1965 timetable.
Moving on to the early 70’s, heres a few tickets and boarding passes. The Britannia one was on one of their first 737’s, Monarch ticket was a brief ‘flight experience’ on a Britannia, the BAF ones relate to (VF302) a Carvair flight to Ostend, the other was the return journey in a Viscount.

Two Court Line tickets from 1974 (I think), unused, as the airline went bust a few weeks before.
Luckily, another holiday was booked and I got a flight in an Invicta Airlines Vanguard.
