Yes! Back in 1977 (after my parent's divorce) my little brother & I flew
on all the great airlines from Boston to Tampa. You know, Eastern, People
Express, Piedmont... The tix were about $1200 round trip, each, for one
8-year old and one 4-year old. No non-stops. I think it took 8 hours
door-to-door for many flights (but forgive me if my memory is not perfect;
after all, I was 8 years old).


I'm not sure I'd lump "People's Express" and "Piedmont" under the banner of
"Great Airlines."


People's Express and Piedmont might have treated an 8-year old and a 4-year old
pretty well (especially if travelling without an adult).
