MEET YOU AT THE BAR

BOAC and Pan Am had a 14-seater downstairs bar on their Stratocruisers, ideal for the 18-hour flights (with two stops) to New York from London. Uniquely, TWA offered the 707 Coach Lounge for Economy passengers, while Pan Am's Boeing 707s included an attractive six seater Clipper Lounge forward of the First cabin, with an individually-designed bulkhead and curved seating on North American routes. United’s DC-6 flights (and airlines using Lockheed Electras) featured a socialising lounge at the rear with a dressed table.
