Now defunct, Kingfisher Airlines.
I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.
Pan-Am baby
I’ve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.
I see you haven’t met Southwest’s meth addicted nephew, Frontier Airlines. That’s the real Greyhound of the sky.
Or sun country. Flew them to Alaska and it was like a flying school bus.
I’m guessing that was Lufthansa. My dad used to get tons of miles from work flights. But I was 8 or 10 years old, so I wouldn’t bet money on it.
TWA as a very young kid - I kept trying to pronounce it as a word and my dad was giggling and my mom and sister kept shushing me…I did not know why at the time.
I wonder if you were periously close to just yelling “twat” over and over.
Possibly Delta, though we only flew a handful of times when I was a kid, and I don’t remember very well.
Why would anyone remember?
I could imagine if someone didn’t fly until they were an adult, it could be memorable. Anyone who flew as a young child probably wasn’t aware enough to know or care which airline it was.

Because kids don’t have memories? I remember my first flight at age 5. It was on Piedmont. The captain gave me a set of wings and I thought that was the coolest. Turns out I was sat next to Roy Scheider from ATL to MIA but I only remember the wings, lol.

Weed Airlines
Laker Airlines 1981 - London Gatwick to Tampa
The first time I ever flew was when I was reporting to boot camp. The US Navy chose United Airlines for that trip. I was absolutely nervous.
Twenty?? Jesus, not everyone is able to travel that much.
Lots of people don’t fly.
A few trips ago, I sat next to a guy in his 50s on his first ever flight.
He was so excited. More so than my 4 yo was on his first trip.
I had to teach him how to put his seat back and told him he can keep the headphones and how they used to have these tube headphones and what it was like before 9/11.
The first one ever was Lufthansa, the first one I flew with by myself was Korean Air
Can’t remember the first airline proper, but my first flight was with a bush pilot. Old, well beaten floatplane, the first leg of our trip. Took a week to walk back, stopping to fish on every lake along the way.
Vueling, Spanish low-cost carrier, from Berlin to Bilbao on my first international business trip back in 2017. I loved the announcements in Spanish during the flight.
