The charter jet embarked on a 12-day journey retracing iconic transatlantic routes, complete with an immersive experience including business class seating, original uniforms worn by flight attendants, and luxury accommodations. The atmosphere harkened back to Pan Am's golden era, with guests expressing fond memories of the airline. Organizers are also planning future expeditions, maintaining interest in Pan Am's legacy.
"It's such an honor and a privilege to be stepping into this uniform," flight attendant Anna Maria Aevarsdottir said. "We hope we can embrace the grace that they showed America."
"Pan Am was beautiful," said Mathewson, of Norfolk, Connecticut. "It was a wonderful time in my life. Pan Am was about the airline, but it was more about the people."
