Old School Flight Attendant Photos

Back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, flight attendants weren’t just the faces of in-flight service—they were also style icons, apparently. Decked out in everything from colorful miniskirts to groovy jumpsuits, their uniforms looked like they belonged more on a disco dance floor than 30,000 feet in the air. If you’ve ever wondered what air travel used to look like before sweatpants became the standard passenger uniform, this gallery of vintage flight attendant photos might give you an idea. Spoiler: it’s a lot of polyester.
