I've used tickets purchased from people from newspaper classified ads in 1970 and 71.
I walked up to the counter handed them my ticket checked my baggage received a boarding pass walked on the plane, arrived at my destination
and then continued on with my life. (oh yes, I wore a tie and jacket. Flying was considered an event then. Not the simple processing of cattle like today.MOOOOOO)
