Thank you. I flew on a number of Continental flights - international and domestic - this month and year. It helps me remember a bit of what it was like.
It may be an illusion because of how empty the flight is, but there seems to be far more leg-room than your average economy cabin these days, plus a much higher ceiling. All round, more space. I was in a 737-800 recently for the first time in years and it felt so cramped and poky.
Looking at their registrations they got recycled to the A330-343X fleet. If you want to know the current Fleet registrations where they are from Easy A350-900 fleet recycled registrations from B747-400 A340-300/-500.
I missed the Boeing 727 and the older jets, they have seats that have extra legroom, chemical toilets which is quieter than vacuum ones, unfortunately had to replaced with next generation jets such as Boeing 737 Next Generation/MAX and Airbus A320 CEO/ NEO family twinjets that don't need flight engineers and have noisy vacuum toilets but quiet engines.
Awesome Atlanta Airport footage from 1980. I flew out of the old ATL terminal in February 1977 on Delta JFK-ATL DC-8-61 connecting to Delta ATL-Orlando L-1011. Then one last time Feb 1980 Eastern L-1011 LAX-ATL connecting to Eastern DC-9 ATL-RIC-LGA. I didn't realize how congested the airport was at that time. Thanks for posting this snapshot in airport/airline history. 👍
