Pan Am Soars Again: Iconic Airline's Luxurious Private Jet Route Includes Lisbon Stop

The iconic Pan Am Boeing 757 made a grand return to the skies, landing at Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport at 19:33 this Thursday, as tracked by Flightradar24. This marks Lisbon as the third stop on a transatlantic journey that has already visited Bermuda and will proceed to Marseille, London, and Shannon before concluding in New York.

This unique route aims to blend the historic 'Northern' and 'Southern' transatlantic paths of Pan Am into a single, nostalgic voyage. Lisbon played a pivotal role in Pan Am's early days, serving as the southern route's terminus at the Cabo Ruivo Maritime Airport from 1938 until the 1950s, now the site of Parque das Nações.

The journey is a tribute to the golden age of air travel, offering passengers an exclusive experience with first-class service, an open bar, and gourmet meals prepared by a chef, all while flight attendants don the airline's classic uniforms. The trip's exclusivity is reflected in its price, with shared rooms costing approximately €52,000 per person and single rooms nearing €57,000, including stays at five-star hotels like Lisbon's Ritz.

Debbi Fuller, a former Pan Am flight attendant from 1980 to 1989, shared her excitement about the trip with Bloomberg, highlighting the sentimental value of the experience despite the high cost.
