    Virtually no one could afford air travel prior to the 1960s, that’s a very large part of my point. It got affordable in the 70s and very affordable in the 80s.

    In the UK, at some point during the 80s, it became normal for almost every single working family to get on a plane and go somewhere sunny once a year for two weeks. Every year. Minimum.
