[@georgevavoulis4758]

Those were the good old days I remember the food and service was better than most restaurants and it was such an absolute joy to travel by plane . Passengers behaved , aircraft they were technological marvels everybody looked forward to airframe as much as the holiday destination they were going to . I was a little kid when I read about SSTsupersonic transport passenger aircraft proposed by Boeing and Loclheed as we already had Concord and Soviet built Tu-144, Boeing was proposing its 2707-2000 and Lockheed its L-2000 American Congress cancelled America's SST program .

Honestly iv seen loads of youtube channels show such luxorious hotels from around the world but Tim shows you hotels which are quirky, strange, luxury yet affordable even, hotels which you wouldnt have ever thought about, keep it up Tim 👌

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Wow, thank you!

[@lioneldore9047]

This isn't so affordable. It runs around $500 a night. If you are flying out of JFK, or as I do, work on the new Terminal 6, it's very handy though.

[@pbz086208]

The actual terminal was opened in 1962 , landmarked in 1994 and the hotel opened in 2019..The building was designed by Eero Saarinen, Finnish Architect,son of the Architect Eliel Saarinen ......the red carpet was a theme in the original terminal also..note that the terminal has a bird wing shape...the carpet was to be the flow through the body....for many years the building sat empty after 2001....I had visited the active terminal when I was younger ..it was fabulous then....still fabulous now... As someone trained in Architecture,its great to see reuses like this.... I love your channel Tim...always great visits to some great unique hotels...hi to your family.....

[@letmetellyousomething123]

We had a neighbour who worked for TWA, as a stewardess, in the 70's and we were in awe of her. She was so glamorous, in the age where flying anywhere was a luxury.

[@digidol52]

I used to go through this terminal in the 1980s going to and from New York, I love the building, it's brilliant that they saved it. I especially remember the corridors leading to the gates, very space-age.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

oh wow!

[@app321]

Me, tooooooooo! I remember so well!

[@zzmike]

I used to be a Gold TWA flyer living in NYC, and used that terminal "for real" 100s of times. It's sort of bittersweet to see this. I suppose, on balance, better to be preserved in some manner than to be replaced with an inferior modern piece of ""architecture."" But I still wish TWA had continued in existence (a great airline) and operation. I enjoyed your recent London Ritz video too. Thanks for all.

[@andrewcoogans471]

I always feel that Pan Am have the monopoly on the "Golden Age of Aviation" in people's minds. It is nice to see TWA balancing that out a bit.

[@zzmike]

@@andrewcoogans471 I also flew a lot on Eastern, just prior to their demise. Many visits from the Captain to schmooze with us in the back. Fantastic memories. I still enjoyed flying back then about 200x as much as now.

@@zzmike My very first flight was on Eastern Airlines back in 1969. It was a senior high school trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. I flew from LaGuardia to Richmond, VA and on the way home from Washington, DC to LaGuardia. It was just the beginning for me of many years of flying. Everyone used to “dress up” to fly back then.

This is the best adaptive reuse of a building EVER!! I was in that terminal not long before TWA went away...it was so rundown. But they've kept so much of the layout. BTW, that is a BMW Isetta microcar.

[@bajemo359]

Thank you for the BMW Isseta micro car info. I was in grade school in the 1960’s and a school mates’s mother would pick them up in a similar car. I was always curious as to what kind of cute, quirky car it was.. until now. :)

My son, now 16, and I stayed there together overnight a year and a half ago. We are both airplane and airline enthusiasts... we had a wonderful time!! I am in my mid 50s, and I flew a lot as a child given that we lived on the east coast and both sets of grandparents (well, by then just my grandfather on the one side as my grandmother passed relatively young) lived on the west coast. The 1st 3 flights I remember being on were TWA 707s transcontinental into SFO. So I have always had a spot in my heart for TWA... Oh, and the runway view rooms here are amazing!!

[@debrapaulsonphotography-da4857]

Great tour, Tim! I stayed at the TWA in Oct. 2022 for the photo ops and it didn't disappoint! I did not book the Presidential Suite, chose a room on opposite side for a view of the hotel itself as opposed to the runways. I was there for the architecture! Combined it with a tour of Brooklyn Bridge (again, photo ops). Cabbed into Brooklyn, there's a cab stand outside the hotel. Reasoning that I'd be stuck in awful traffic to return I hopped a helicopter (Blade) back to JFK (10 min. from midtown Manhattan!) and they even provide a luxe suv straight to the hotel. I'm a child of the 60's so this retro hotel was a dream come true! I did miss having water and coffee provided in my room. But overall a cool experience! BTW, the Lincoln convertible parked outside the TWA Hotel is a restored '63 Continental painted "Kennedy Blue" - a blue created specifically for JFK's presidential limo.

We stayed there last year and it was so nostalgic for me as my father flew for TWA so we always flew out of that terminal.

That is really cool and I am sooo glad they did not tear it down.. It is classic architecture and needs to be preserved. WE have a Trainstation in Cincinnati, UNION TERMINAL, that wsa on the chopping block but it is one of the classic examples of Art Deco architecture in the world and has one of the the largest 1/2 Domes. They originally turned that into a "mall" but later it was turned into our History Museums and the National History Museums and an IMAX theater. It still has trains but the main concourse was destroyed, unfortunately (and these incredible murals were transfered to our airport. ) WE need to preserve classic architecture..

Looks like the hotel rooms no longer have a little "bar" with alcohol, snacks and toys for an extra charge. If you are at all into air travel history or mid-century modern design (both of which I love), you owe it to yourself to at least visit for a few hours. It's not crowded, and it is oh so relaxing and fun. You can even dress in your Mad Men finest and almost feel like you've time traveled, especially at night. Yes, the food and drinks are high (where are they NOT, in this post-COVID world?), but I'd rather spend $20 for a cocktail inside a Lockheed Constellation, than $13 for the same cocktail at my local Chili's.
