Passengers at San Francisco Airport in the 1930s-40s might have had luggage labels like these affixed to suitcases.

Given how much and how quickly airports have evolved, it’s almost unfathomable to think that one of the buildings from the era of the 1937 Administrative Building remained until 1997. #SFOHistory This tweet was posted on April 06, 2021.

The San Francisco Airport of yore paid just as much attention to detail to the look and feel of its passenger areas as @flySFO does today.
