The quality is not the best anymore, but I love the small differences to todays flights...

How is it propaganda?
Because it's fake, they are not throwing the luggage!
Found this in the comments section for the above video on YouTube (no idea if it is true):
"The air fare from LGA-LAX in 1954 was $70.00. In 2014 dollars that's $620. But back then every seat was first class and the service much better. That $620 included free pillows and blankets, beverages, first class meals, playing cards and 5 cigarettes for the smokers, complimentary soap bars, and a Captain who would come back and chat with passengers at cruise in smooth air."
... 5 cigarettes for the smokers... I want a time machine :) :ph34r:
Edit: The price seems to be legit - found this blog post with a historical ad from TWA:
