A glamorous period drama set in 1960s aviation that trades on nostalgia and romantic aspiration, treating its ensemble of stewardesses and pilots as aspirational figures navigating a world of luxury and social constraint.

In this modern world, air travel represents the height of luxury and Pan Am is the biggest name in the business. The planes are glamorous, the pilots are rock stars and the stewardesses are the most desirable women in the world. They're trained to handle everything from in-air emergencies to unwanted advances—all without rumpling their pristine uniforms or mussing their hair.
