Must have been 40 years ago if they had Stewardesses and 45 years ago if they looked like models. It was in 2010. I am old fashioned. I still refer to them as stewardesses instead of flight attendants. Same way I refer to servers as waitresses.

Your friend will need to go through Immigration at JFK and claim his baggage from the atlantic flight before checking in for the domestic flight from JFK to DFW. Tell him to copy the other passengers. Also, there's no way he can get lost because the airport people make sure there's only one path from one plane to Immigration (to prevent people from skipping it). Also, it won't work this way on the return trip. Bags are sent directly to Germany. What I mean is, he will not have to go claim his baggage when he's flying DFW->JFK before getting on the flight to Germany. It happened to me the first time: baggage claim is outside the secure area. Once I learned that my bags were being shipped with out my intervention I had to run through security again and barely made it to my gate.
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

One of the times I was flying back from Toronto was just a day after the shoe bomber was caught, everyone was bare foot and if you had the slightest tan you got pulled out of line for a more thorough search. The first time I flew into Toronto it was a much more relaxed atmosphere, the only thing we had to do was walk through a bath of bleach to kill off any chance of Foot and Mouth disease being spread. Ah, it was good to get away from the stench of barbequed beef that hung over the UK at the time My next trip over was due to be 14/Sept/2001, and on the 11th I was driving back up to Glasgow making arrangements to be picked up from the airport in Toronto. When I closed the call and put the radio back on there was the news article about an aircraft hitting the twin towers.

So long as you aren't a member of the Nazi High Command, you should be fine... And if you are, just tell them you're a rocket scientist and you'll get a green card and a job at NASA too!

Too late. Those jobs have been outsourced. You can still get a job as a pencil pusher administrator there!

Do you still get your fancy shoes touched up by the shoe-shine boys too?
