"Make Airlines Great Again"
Based on M2 growth as a proxy for inflation, a luxurious airline ticket similar to the one depicted would cost approximately $53,617.50 in February 2025.
Airlines are already great, it's fiat currency that has gone to hell.

Some baller wine being served!
I kind of miss the days when everyone used to dress up to fly on an airplane! It felt like such an elegant experience, even in the back of the plane. They need to bring back the magic of flying!
They still have it if you pay $50k. Modern flight is like the subway in the sky.
Not only that but it is a crime not to prioritize shareholder value. They sue their CEOs for not cutting costs, grow or increase sells.
that leads to what you see in every service and product. it is fucked up.
That's the cost of a 5h flight on a private jet in 2025
tldr: the 99% today (the poor) can't as afford the luxuries the middle class of the 60s/70s could, because they actually were much richer than we are.
