Overview
It used to be the case that travelers booked their trip via a high street travel agent, a bureaucratic process involving lots of handwritten forms and documents requiring a signature. You could only check in at the airport, which meant you had to get there well in advance to avoid the queues. Your choice of destination was generally limited to major city hubs, with flights being far more expensive than they are today.
