You are bidding on a vintage 1970s passenger ticket / baggage check - Japan Air Lines - 1975 - featuring the old jet logo 

This vintage Japan Air Lines (JAL) ticket jacket, featuring the iconic silhouette of the Concorde, serves as a unique piece of aviation ephemera from a bold era in the carrier's history. [1]
The Concorde Connection
In 1965, Japan Air Lines placed a tentative order for three Concorde aircraft, envisioning supersonic travel that could link Asia and North America in mere hours. While JAL never actually operated the supersonic jet—canceling its options in 1973 due to the oil crisis and environmental concerns over sonic booms—the airline heavily promoted its "supersonic future" through marketing materials like this ticket jacket.

History of Japan Air Lines (JAL)
Japan Air Lines has been Japan’s premier flag carrier for over 70 years, symbolizing the nation's post-war recovery and technological growth. [1, 2]
  • Founding (1951): Established as a government-backed entity, JAL initially operated domestic routes using leased aircraft and foreign crews.
  • Going International (1954): JAL launched its first international service from Tokyo to San Francisco (via Honolulu and Wake Island) using the Douglas DC-6B "City of Tokyo".
  • The Jet Age (1960s): The airline entered the jet age with the Douglas DC-8, often called the "Lady in the Sky," which allowed for rapid global expansion.
  • Logo Heritage: The famous Tsurumaru (crane) logo was introduced in 1959. Symbolizing longevity and prosperity, it has remained the heart of JAL’s identity, even after being revived in 2011 following a brief branding change.
  • Modern Era: After privatizing in 1987 and surviving a major bankruptcy and restructuring in 2010, JAL today remains one of the world's most punctual and highly-rated airlines. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
Interestingly, JAL’s interest in supersonic flight didn't end with the Concorde; in 2017, the airline invested $10 million in the Boom Supersonic project, aiming to bring high-speed travel back to its future routes
