When some students' admission to Ivy League schools was assured, there were fewer students applying to other area schools simply "for the sake of getting an admission ticket," Jewett said...
...economy-and togetherness. This week Eastern Air Lines, the aggressive carrier headed by ex-Astronaut Frank Borman, inaugurates a bargain fare that brings the concept of the fixed-price, go-anywhere Eurailpass to U.S. air travel. For no more than $323, a passenger can buy an "Unlimited Mileage" ticket that allows him up to 21 days of travel to any or all of 101 cities-excluding Canada-on Eastern's route map, which stretches from coast to coast and to Mexico City, Acapulco and twelve Caribbean islands. The only catch, aside from the fact that the minimum three-stopover...
...lines (TWA, Pan American, British Airways, Air-India, Iran Air and El Al) will offer free meals on flights; Laker would charge passengers $3 for a steak dinner. In addition, travelers may reserve seats on any of the six carriers by paying for their tickets three weeks in advance of departure; thereafter they would be accepted on a stand-by basis only. Laker's plan allows no reservations. It runs on a first-come, first-served basis, with ticket counters opening six hours before flight time...

Wry as ever about his job, Brinkley now concedes that a familiar face is needed as a "switching agent," but he deplores those elaborate anchorman desks that to him look like airline ticket counters.

Neither will have a desk, only a chair...
SUPER STANDBY. TWA's proposal will evidently be in essence a modification of Laker's stand-by plan. The fare would be close to Laker's. But instead of having to purchase their tickets at the flight gate, Skytrain-style, bargain travelers on TWA would be able to buy them in advance, either from the airline or a travel agent. The ticket would be good for any flight, on a space-available basis; if no seats are available when the passenger wants to leave, he can try another flight or return his ticket for the full purchase...
