Was travelling overseas common in the 60's and 70's?

Question

were vacations overseas common in the 60's or 70's? plane or ship?

Answer 1

From the UK in the 60's only people with lots of money could travel abroad, however by mid 70's lots more people were venturing abroad due to air travel becoming cheaper.

Answer 2

I'm in UK and no, it wasn't common in the 60's ... holidays to places like Spain and Italy started in the 70's and grew and grew

Answer 3

I would say no as it would have been too expensive for most people to fly. I think most people would vacation at driveable distances from home like the vacation in 'dirty dancing' i think those places were popular then
