12 Things That Cost Less Today Than in the 1900s

Airline tickets

1955: A trip from Boston to Los Angeles ran the average traveler $106.00 for a one-way flight on Trans World Airlines. That’s a little over $1,000 today.

Today: That ticket on Delta costs $121.00.

In the Golden Age of flying, air travel was a luxury: reclining seats, ridiculous amounts of leg room, free alcohol. But you were paying a small fortune for a ticket.
