Does anyone know what a Deluxe passenger was?

(The luggage limits offer 30kgs to Deluxe and First Class passengers)

Fantastic! Thanks so much for this!

Love the notations about aircraft "Super Constellation" "BOAC Brittania"

Curious that in 1959 the baggage allowance was stated (first) in Kilos!!!!!

Oh haha! I hadn't noticed that! One year before kg was officially the international standard! That's quite cool.

Would love an "Ask the Pilot" thread for the captains back in these days!!!

There are some great photos of the old planes (including the sleeping births) up at the Rose Bay RSL. I'll take a photo of them when I am next there.
