    Description

    QANTAS
    THE AUSTRALIAN AIRLINE
    "All airlines offer businessmen a seat.  Qantas offers you a whole floor."
    1980 vintage print ad - Version 2
    Ad photo shows a Qantas Steward standing in the aisle of the exclusive upper deck Business Class cabin onboard a Boeing 747-200B jumbo jet.
    Ad text translates approximately as follows:
    All airlines offer business travelers a seat.  Qantas offers you a whole floor.
    One flight up, far from the rest of the plane, Qantas now has an intimate room with a club atmosphere.   Instead of up to 36 Economy seats, there are only 16 extra-wide 'special' seats, like those found in the First Class cabins of other airlines.
    In addition to generous space, which is regarded as a very special luxury, especially on long-distance flights, our Business Class service also includes fast check-in together with First Class passengers, free drinks, a choice of two culinary menus, stereo headphones and the very latest movies.
    In addition, a personal steward will take care of your every request.
    If you have particularly high demands, then you have come to the right place:  In one of our new sleeper chairs in First Class.  16 wide, comfortable seats that become a restful bed for you at the touch of a button.  Also new are our stereo headphones - now in Hi-Fi quality - and the range of our gourmet cakes.
    The Qantas Sleeper Chair and Qantas Business Class Cabin can only accommodate a total of 32 passengers.  So we recommend that you book well in advance with your Qantas-authorized travel agent.
    QANTAS.  The Australian Airline.
    BACKGROUND
    :  At Qantas, the upper deck area on the Boeing 747 was previously home to the luxurious Captain Cook Lounge.  As the economic realities of operating jumbo jets evolved throughout the 1970s, most airlines realized that these lounges produced no direct revenue.  Onboard lounges were progressively removed, to be replaced by additional passenger seating, providing carriers with the ability to generate more revenue on each flight.
    VERY GOOD+++ condition, as shown.
