The storied Pan American World Airways – better known as Pan Am – is taking flight once again this summer as a commemorative trip departs from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Tuesday.
A special "tracing the transatlantic" package vacation using a chartered Boeing 757 in Pan Am colors will visit sites that are significant to the brand and closely follow its original "flying boat" transatlantic route through June 28.
CEO of Pan American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands Craig Carter said in a statement:
The tour group passengers each paid $59,950 per person for a seat on the all-business jet and hotel accommodations throughout the trip.
Travelers on the tour will stop in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London and Shannon before returning to New York. The original Pan Am southerly transatlantic route, which departed from Port Washington, New York, stopped in the Azores, Lisbon and Marseille.
