Everything is relative and it depends on when one bought the ticket and what one’s income was at the time. Two that stand out for me was London to Keflavik (Iceland) return in the 1970s for about £220 – that was then 6 weeks of my wages – and a RTW ticket in 1985 that went LHR-HKG-SYDLAX-SFO-LHR. £900, all economy, and again about 6 weeks of my wages at the time.

Actually at the time I thought the RTW ticket was pretty much a bargain. But the Icelandair ticket is interesting: 40 years later a return to Keflavik costs almost exactly the same number of nominal pounds.
