[1] Initially 95/96 seat Lockheed 1049 Super Constellations left New York-LaGuardia every two hours, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, to Washington National and to Boston.

Passengers could pay in cash after boarding, so the fares soon dropped a few cents to $12 and $14 including the 10% federal tax.

[4] Reservations were not needed, seat assignments were not given, and initially no check-in was required and no boarding passes were issued.

On Sunday after Thanksgiving 1961 the 10 PM flights between La Guardia and Boston carried 623 passengers on seven aircraft.

[7][9] Just a year later the company was in financial default and surrendered to become Shuttle INC. which USAir entered into an agreement to operate in 1992, then bought in 1997.
