Pan Am Is Back! Sort of.

For many travel lovers, Pan Am is the ultimate in air travel nostalgia. The beloved airline ended service in 1991, but lives on in the memories of people who remember the finer days of airplane travel.

Now, the legendary airline that once defined glamour in the skies, is back. Not as a time capsule, but as a flying tribute to the golden age of travel.

Founded in 1927, Pan Am is being revived by Beyond Capricorn, offering luxury journeys that retrace its most iconic routes.

The first voyage, Pan Am: Tracing the Transatlantic Routes, recently took off from JFK, echoing the airline’s original jet-setting spirit with stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London, and Foynes, Ireland.

The experience is as nostalgic as it is first-class: flight attendants wear replicas of vintage uniforms, and a sleek Boeing 757—nicknamed Yankee Clipper II—bears the classic blue globe logo and offers full lie-flat business seating.

Following an enthusiastic reception, the next trip has been announced. Tracing the Transpacific launches in April 2026 from San Francisco and spans 21 days, touching down in Tokyo, Cambodia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji.

The Pan Am: Tracing the Transatlantic Routes offers a 13 day, 12 night journey, and costs $59,950 per person. The Pan Am Tracing the Transpacific 21 day journey is a whopping $94,495 per person.

Clearly for the well heeled, this throwback collaboration is part history, part high design, and pure Jet Age magic.

Reservations are open now for those looking to travel with a touch of mid-century wonder.
