October 28th, 2009 marked the fifty-first anniversary of Pan American World Airways’ first Boeing 707 jet flight from New York to Paris on October 28th, 1958. The jetset was created by Pan Am and the jetset traveled with Jetiquette. This elite group of stylish globetrotters thought nothing of flying to Paris for a party and then back to New York for a gala event and then on to Acapulco.The jetage changed life on earth forever and created a new elite group of “jet-setters”, many times identified by the iconic “Pan Am Bag”. Today the jetset is reserved for friends of Martha Stewart and taxpayer supported banking executives flying their Gulfstream jets from New York to Tokyo nonstop with a stop on a private island thrown into the itinerary.
Wouldn’t it be nice to go back in time, to a day when being a jetsetter really meant something. Back in the 50′s and 60′s it was a huge status symbol to be seen with a Pan Am bag. In fact, it has remained so cool that Marc Jacobs even created a limited edition handbag with the famous Pan Am logo on it; which is being carried by today’s rich and famous just as it was in the days of JFK and Jackie O.
