As for the lower priced airlines, it's making flying more "mainstream." Not that i don't love being able to fly from boston to baltimore or south eastern va to visit pals for $100 round trip.
I dunno, I can still remember being young and getting real food on a plane and the flight was only 2 hours.
but again
that was before it was "mainstream" to fly

Be extremely careful - if those tickets are reward travel freebies you may be SOL if the airline tanks. There's no guarantee other airlines will honor a bankrupt airline's tickets if they've stopped operations.
Yea... gone are the days of meal service, well-dressed people and cockpit visits.
