AirTran and USAir. I rather liked AirTran.
If it was a long time ago, perhaps it was one of Northeast Airline's "Yellow Bird" planes.
Only Northwest. Did it back in the late 90s on a visit to Chicago. Weird too as we got a good fare, but the return flight to San Francisco was through Detroit.
I guess the other defunct airlines I've traveled on were Pacific Southwest Airlines, CAAC Airlines, and Reno Air.
PSA (bought by US Airways):
I never was that elite at Continental, but I made it to Gold one year. The thing is, I didn't earn the necessary miles. I was upgraded from Silver because apparently I was one of the top 5% of Continental's passengers out of Philadelphia. I also got an upgrade from bronze to silver one year for the same reason.
Yes, AirTran was purchased by Southwest, primarily to get access to gates in Atlanta. AirTran had a small hub there.

Were such ticket books good on any PSA flight, or only those between the city pairs purchased? For example, could you also use them to fly to/from San Diego instead of Los Angeles?
I like Continental's globe livery better than anything United ever had.
Or maybe United should have used Continental's old logo.
