Why was flying back then more upscale and classier?

That cozy, old school cabin photo of a Delta Air Lines L1011 TriStar from the 1980s is getting people talking for one simple reason: it looks roomy. Wider looking aisles, big overhead bins, and that warm lighting that makes the whole cabin feel like a different era of flying.

Delta's own history of the L1011 explains why it felt that way. The airline called it "high, wide and handsome," noting a cabin about 8 feet high and 19 feet wide, plus wider aisles and large entry doors designed to make boarding and deplaning easier.
Delta's first revenue L1011 flight was on Dec. 15, 1973 from Atlanta to Philadelphia, and the airline ultimately flew 70 of the type, the largest L1011 fleet in the industry.

Delta retired the L1011 in 2001, after decades of domestic and international flying, including transatlantic and transpacific routes. And over time, the industry shifted hard toward efficiency and packing more people into each flight, especially after U.S. airline deregulation in 1978 changed how airlines competed. Looking at this cabin, you can see why so many travelers say, "Yeah... they really don't make it like that anymore."

>*heh, nothin' personnel kid, as in, look at these kids of mine that I am effectively using as human shields, so give me everything in return for nothing or you're a monster and I will have you cancelled for not buckling immediately and catering to my massive sense of entitlement, kid*
When did cargo bikes go from being a crusty, get-it-done, no-nonsense niche improvised delivery tool for reasonable humans, to being the single most punchable conspicuous consumption fashion accessory in the history of wheels?

Also, cargo bikes hate thread, and yes I took my meds thanks for the reminder though

Is vaping in bus / metro / trains illegal ? ive seen some kids vaping and blowing the smoke in their hoodies or sometimes keeping the smoke in their lungs until it becomes barely visible. Are there like smoke detectors on them ?
