The way people traveled four decades ago has evolved at the same speed as technology and it seems that no one remembers car trips with the window down, music or joke cassettes, as well as the expression of “going 100 per hour” to refer to driving at high speed.

To understand to what extent the way of traveling has changed, IMF Business School has taken a look at the past and searched for the 13 most curious differences between how people traveled in the 80s and how it is done today:

Smoking during the flight, allowedThat's right. As simple as buying the ticket in the smoking area. However, in such a closed place, this ended up harming the rest of the passengers and at the end of 1990 it began to be prohibited. In this case, the expression 'any past tense seems better to us', may not coincide with what non-smokers think.

Origin and destination SpainCurrently people not only go abroad, but they are increasingly looking for a more distant and exotic destination than the previous one, but before leaving the country it was quite unusual. And it is that, in the 80s, the cheapest flight to London could cost between 50,000 and 100,000 pesetas (between 300 and 600 euros), the same as the average Spanish salary at that time.

Choose what to immortalizeThe lucky ones who had an analog camera, had to select very carefully which was the perfect photo since the reel was 24 and changing it, without the help of a professional, was not an easy task. Nothing to do with today that the camera has been replaced by the smartphone or tablet. Now getting a blurred or cropped image has become a mission or impossible, or not.

The postcard is the great-grandmother of whatsappIn those years, when you went on a trip or to live or work outside the town, you sent postcards. What's more, on many occasions they had to be bought and sent right when they arrived, otherwise they returned and the recipient had not received it.

The 127, the 600 or the 1430They were responsible for the big traffic jams to get to the beach. The Seat brand was the most widespread in any of its models. Although now it may seem impossible, parents, children, grandparents, the pet and the son of the neighbor from the third floor entered them, and without air conditioning

The suitcases? On the roof rack Families had huge leather or imitation suitcases in which everyone's clothes fit. Very different from today's cabin bags: compact, four-wheeled, durable and very stylish.

The cassette was the ideal accompaniment. Mecano, Alaska or a joke tape brightened up the journey. No Spotify or playlists, the same cassette throughout the trip.

Competitions to go on vacationIn the 80s, Friday night was the time for 1,2,3 and dreaming of competing for the most valued prize for the famous apartment in Torrevieja. Nothing to compare with the well-known Q12 Trivia.

Travel agencies or advertisements in the newspapers were in charge of informing them and booking their vacations. However, they had to trust them since they could not previously know the opinions of other users or search different websites until they got the best price.

La casa del pueblo was “doing rural tourism”Although it may seem something current, rural tourism already existed years ago, but it was the family's house in the town.

Sacred ritual: the two hours of digestion40 years ago this waiting time was not negotiable, but currently it is, since there is no medical or biological evidence to support it. In fact, some professional swimmers eat right before a meet to give them the energy they need to perform well.

Advertising on the beachYou were calmly sunbathing on the beach and suddenly the helicopter or plane flew by, dropping T-shirts, bottles or plastic balls. Anything that encouraged them to jump into the water and swim to find it. This no longer happens, perhaps because of the dangers involved in this unexpected competition to get the coveted merchandising.

The nearest phone booth or booth? No cell phones with which to be in contact 24/7, they had to look for a booth or booth and, very importantly, bring something loose.
