""Compare the Time! Compare the Cost! Here's Proof: You save dollars ... save days via TWA Sky Tourist" In the 1950s, airlines were advertising flights as cheaper and faster than other forms of traveling such as via train or bus. A trip from Los Angeles to New York only cost $99 and took 10 hours on a TWA (Trans World Airlines) Lockheed Constellation.
