Tickets Please!

This fascinating collection of airline tickets spans the history of air travel. From flagship megabrands like Pan Am and BOAC to some of the least known airlines flying to the most obscure corners of the world. One thing they shared was a sharp eye for colour and design. This collection has been brought together by the author of Planely Schmitz and Interflug: East Germany's Airline, and prefaced with an in-depth essay by airline historian Charles Kennedy. Join us on a flight to a bygone age of travel and design.

About the Author

Born on July 4, 1978, Sebastian was raised in Essen, Germany, and has taken a keen interest in aviation since early childhood, perhaps because of the proximity of his boyhood home to the flightpath into Düsseldorf. He has always loved to travel and, in the absence of a better idea, became a flight attendant. 20 years later, he has become a widely known writer, covering aviation and travel for a wide range of magazines in both English and German, and with his name gracing the spines of three books. Today, when not travelling the world, Sebastian resides in the small town of Siegburg, close to Cologne.
