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).

We were traveling without an adult. We got little plastic "wings" with the
airline's logo, to let the crew know we were alone. One of the crew brought
us to the next airplane on each airplane change.

I forgot Delta, which was my favorite airline for many years. Their 1970's
logo on the vertical stabilizer of their 727-200's was a thing of beauty.
