Pan Am's Clipper Service was the iconic brand of long-distance international flights. Initially in the 1930s, the company used luxurious flying boats, which offered unparalleled luxury with gourmet dining and sleeping berths. It later evolved into a modern jet service with premium amenities like its pampered "Clipper Class" for business travelers. For years, Pan American symbolized romance and pioneering spirit in aviation by linking the name "Clipper" to the swift transatlantic sailing ships of the 19th-century, bringing to mind both speed and exotic destinations.
