Airline-Inspired Cocktail Lounges

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Carry On Airlines is a 1970s Jumbo Jet Experience

— November 21, 2024 — Lifestyle
Carry On Airlines offers a 90-minute, airline-themed cocktail lounge experience set in a 1970s-inspired aircraft cabin. This immersive experience features vintage-style cocktails and rotating menus that reflect the flavors and spirits of iconic destinations, with the menu changing annually. Each “flight” provides a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the golden age of air travel.

Guests begin the experience with a welcome cocktail and complimentary in-flight snacks, including peanuts and shortbread cookies. Additional beverages are available for purchase, though no further food service is provided beyond the included snacks.

Seating options are available for different group sizes, with pricing based on the number of guests per table: tables for up to 2 guests are priced at $40, tables for up to 3 guests at $50, and tables for up to 5 guests at $90. The experience is open to guests 21 and older, and departure times are scheduled, with guests encouraged to arrive "five minutes prior to departure at the 1st Avenue Carry On Terminal," building on the theme of airfare and travel.
