This is what luxurious first class looked like in 1989

Last week the internet got all up in arms about some rediscovered United Airlines footage from 1969 promoting one-third off of the cost of a second plane ticket if a man gave in to his wife's begging to please, please, please take her along on his business trip.

So we decided to take a look to see if we could unearth some other of-the-moment airline video gems hidden in YouTube's vaults, and we found a trio from former celebrity-centric MGM Grand Air.

"Imagine an airline like no other, an airline so superior in style and substance it recalls a past time when traveling was an elite experience. Imagine an airline that promises no lines to wait in, no check-in counters, no lost luggage and no waiting for luggage. Imagine an airline that flies exclusively between New York and Los Angeles on a very convenient business-oriented schedule. Now imagine that this unique airline that delivers true luxury costs the same as ordinary first class on most airlines. Imagine no more. MGM Grand Air is here. Introduce yourself to Grand-class service."

My, how things have changed.

An air fax machine (Oh, the 80's!), air phone, and air conference rooms made business travel a breeze. Passengers opting for some shut-eye over work could request their seats be transformed into a full-sized bed, complete with privacy partitions. And don't miss the combination charcuterie-croupier table at the 3:30 mark, for those days when neither prosciutto nor poker will satisfy you on their own.

The posh jets were the focus of an episode of the bingeworthy 80's stalwart Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Truly the House Hunters International of its decade). Host Robin Leech and Ivana Trump talk up MGM Grand Air's graces.

First class was the only class on MGM Grand. In fact, the airline's motto was at one point, "Everything else should be called second class." Eek.

Sadly, MGM Grand Air sold its holdings in 1995, leaving us all to toil away...in second class
