'Concord,' the farmer answered. 'You can't get there from here.'
Well, as an airline, we've spent 48 years trying to prove you can get there from here.
Not Concord (we reluctantly admit) but just about every other place in the world.
To the point where you can now fly Pan Am to 96 cities in 65 countries on six continents.
Do you like flying 747s?
Your chances of getting one couldn't be better than on Pan Am. We have the largest fleet of them. Each with a choice of three meals in economy. And an upstairs dining room in first class.
Do you like your overseas airline to speak American?
Speaking American is a sine qua non of being part of a Pan Am crew. As is understanding travel from an American's point of view.
One of the more outlandish requests our Panamac computer can fulfill daily New York to San Francisco, via London, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Tehran, Delhi, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Do you ever need help while you're on a trip? Stop into a Pan Am office overseas. Whatever the problem is, it won't be the first time our people have heard it.
We like being America's only worldwide airline. It gives us, as they say, a competitive advantage. One that, we hope you'll come to learn, is also shared by our passengers."
