When Middles Could Fly

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 22nd, 2006


In plowing through the mounds of paper here at SHECKYmagazine HQ, we came across the above itinerary. It’s a little hard to read here, but it’s from January 1986 and its the Eastern Airlines itin for The Male Half’s first Punchline tour.

He flew from Newark to Charlotte, Charlotte to Columbia, Columbia to Atlanta, Atlanta to Greenville, Greenville to Charlotte, Charlotte to Newark. The pricetag for all that flying? $147! And the club picked up the tab, of course. (Of course, they had a killer discount because they dealt in volume, but it’s still impressive!)

All this flying around enabled him to feature three straight weeks at three different Punchlines. With the Southwest Effect taking hold in more and more airports, we may yet live to see another era When Middles Can Fly!
