A2: Flying between Austin and Chicago with @awtravelweekly and writing short stories along the way. I think we mainly flew @united (and I was probably one of the only eight year olds with "Gold Status." šŸ¤£) #TWChats

A2 When I was an eensy weensy kiddo, my family used to fly at least once a year to Germany to visit my grandparents (my dad is originally from Germany). We pretty much only ever flew @lufthansa or @KLM!#TWchats

A2: Flying with my father in 1965 from London to NY, on BOAC. When the meal came, even in economy (second class then), everyoneā€™s meal tray had little glass salt and pepper shakers, and cloth napkins, and there was a lot of room between the seats. #TWchats

A2: The 747 debuted in 1969, which believe it or not, was 50 years ago. #TWchats https://t.co/960wYouRel

A2: I was 15 and flew with my family for a ski trip to Salt Lake City, on American Airlines. (Also when I realized that I get air sick as well as car sick. Almost 25 years later and it hasn't stopped me from traveling, though!)

A2: @twtravelnews Holland America Line has been cruising since 1872, well before air travel! While we weren't onboard our first Rotterdam, we're sure it was quite the experience! #TWChats

CostaCruises

A2: @TWtravelnews Our first passenger cruise was from Genoa to Rio de Janeiro! Ever since then we've been crossing the seven seas allowing guests to explore the world with Italy's Finest. #TWchats

A2: We were six months old and were on the way to Hawaii. We canā€™t recall the carrier, but we will never forget the love for travel our beloved parents, Pat and Pal had for travel šŸ’™. They sparked the travel bug in us. #TWChats

A2. How about our first airline partnership? A&K partnered with @britishairways in 1978 to offer Holidays in Africa: Safaris Off-the-Beaten Track for the US market. #twchats

A2: How about a more notable boat voyage? Art Director Chris Bettencourt has a wonderful account of his first trip to Antarctica...on a Russian Icebreaker!

A2: Back in the day (before 9/11), everyone and anyone headed to the airport to see you off on your trip! #twchats

A2: Seattle with @United! Thereā€™s nothing quite as scary yet thrilling as your first experience feeling the plane take off into the sky #twchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A2: A member of our Marketing Dept, Michelle, remembers traveling on TWA as a child and receiving a deck of cards to play with on the flight! #TWchats

replying to @mtsobek @mtsobek @TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A2: TBH our first cruising experience stands out a lot more. Our first ship, the Song of Norway, was built in 1970 and revolutionized cruising with its grand sailings to the Caribbean. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A2: Iā€™m weird. I like to keep a record of all the types of aircraft Iā€™ve flown on. My first flight was a 727 from Shreveport to Dallas and an L1011 from Dallas to Colorado Springs. #TWChats

replying to @SandalsResorts @SandalsResorts A2. Croatia ā€˜94, yes a bold first trip but so worth it British Airways to Croatian Air if I recall correctly. #TWchats
