Vintage Air Travel: Scenes From The Air In A Bygone Era (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Flying In Its Glory Days

We often write about the glory days of air travel, back before the TSA, long lines and bag fees. But what did that era look like?

We've looked inside a TWA flight school, at vintage airline commercials and even at a history of flight attendant uniforms. But Getty beat us to the punch and released gobs of vintage flying photos -- Hugh Hefner with his bunnies en route to Heathrow, Idlewild when it was still Idlewild Airport, etc. -- to do the trick on this Friday.

The photos lovingly show just how glamorous flying was, with champagne, full-on sleeper beds, the works.

Herewith, a little eye candy for your viewing pleasure.
