Braniff Airlines was an iconic carrier between 1928 and 1982, transporting a public hungry for travel. They primarily served up flights in the U.S. and South America and with their bold orange color scheme, their jets spoke of warm climates and fun. Here we share 55 Braniff playing cards from 1968, each with a phrase to learn in Portuguese or Spanish. What could be better than a good game with friends in a foreign land while learning the language?
