There are historic flights and flights that are historic. Today happens to be a double dose of the latter. Charles Lindbergh made the first cross Atlantic journey in the Spirit of St. Louis in 1927 and five years later Amelia Earhart made the trip. While each faced their own set of adversities and trials before, during, and after their solo flights, each had the same remarks upon completion; “Beautiful view, but could have used a little more leg room and storage for my carry on luggage.” And that’s how first class was created.
