People Express Airlines commenced operations on April 30, 1981. A low-cost airline inspired by Freddie Laker and Laker Air, People Express advertised "we eliminate the things you don't want: like ticket counters and airline food. And we give you the things you want: like frequent flights with extra room for carry-on bags.” Their rapid expansion to new destinations and acquisitions of airlines in the mid-1980s led to financial distress, and the airline merged with Continental Airlines in 1987. Did you ever fly on People Express?
