 My very first flight was on American, I can't remember the exact plane, probably a 727, from Phoenix-Chicago O'hare, I've made this fight many times in one direction or the other, on many airlines, generally whoever is cheapest at the time.

Mine was a DC-6 out of Boise, Idaho to San Diego, CA for 12 weeks of fun and frolic courtesy of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children on October 18, 1966. :P

I've only flown in small Cessna 152 & 172s! :o

I was once on a civil airliner aircraft at an international airport, but it was in for repairs and our family was given a small private tour :D

As I'm sure must have been mentioned here already - a poll wasn't the thing for this question - given that there are SOOOOO  many airlines in the world :)

Mine was B.O.A.C (British Overseas Airlines Corporation)from London to New York in 1962 - Boeing 707 - & in those days kids got a hardback book about the airline & the airliner - a metal model of the BOAC B707 & something else too (maybe a pilot cap - can't remember that bit .. ) & I got a trip to the cockpit! Still remember it even though I was only 3 ;)

2nd was Pan Am from NY to RDU, NC - the same day.

Ah the memories...First airliner ever flown on was a USAIR 727 from Cleveland to Boston for the day, as a birthday gift from my father...We flew on a 737 on the way back, would give more detail but this was many moons ago!

Either way I had the time of my life!
