Ten Things We Don't See At Airports Anymore
Air travel used to be a lot more expensive and exclusive before the industry was deregulated, and many airports therefore had a lot more amenities that were included in the cost of your pricey ticket. Of course, the events of 9/11 changed the design and operation of U.S. airports, as did technology and health concerns. See how many of these features, if any, you remember.

You dont see Pan Am anymore
I remember the old TPA when we saw my father off to Sweden and I got to ride the jet wash as the Eastern 727 took off for ATL.
I loved the Queens Building observation deck at LHR as a kid. Used to be a 4 change bus ride from Croydon during the summer holidays. There was a souvenir shop selling all kinds of goodies, I distinctly remember a map of the airport with all the airline tails on the back. Happy summer days that certainly fueled a love of flying...
I've got one more:
Pay toilets, at least at what is now Terminal 2 at PHX Sky Harbor

I also miss viewing decks. Manchester Airport (MAN) has an excellent viewing park ideal for photography. It even has a Concorde plus eating facilities plus a shop.
On a visit to Florida last year I found the viewing at Fort Lauderdale (FLL) very good on the roof of car park which overlooks ramps.
