How air travel used to be...Miami International Airport, 1955

"This clip includes footage shot in 1955, and airport operations almost sixty years ago may have more closely resembled those of 1929 than today's. For one thing, nobody in this footage is taking his or her shoes off, although it looks like a lot of walking was a feature of air travel -- mainly walking across the bare tarmac from terminal to aircraft and vice versa.
