My office has been long overdue for a deep cleaning. During this arduous task, I found some old in-flight magazines — as well as magazines which advertise airlines and other travel entities — so I have a question: are these old magazines and advertisements worth anything?
Question: Are These Old Magazines and Advertisements Worth Anything?
Several examples of the old magazines and advertisements which I found include:
This issue of USAir magazine from February of 1991 was published before the airline changed its name to US Airways. I have several issues of this magazine from that era.
Newsweek does still exist today; but not in physical magazine form anymore…
…but on the back cover of this issue from April 22, 1996 is an advertisement for United Airlines, when the name Mileage Plus still had a space in it before the name of the membership program became MileagePlus. Also, InsideFlyer no longer publishes a physical magazine even though it still exists.
This copy of the in-flight magazine from Continental Airlines is from May of 1998.
Although Delta Air Lines still exists, it stopped publication of Sky, which was its in-flight magazine.
Final Boarding Call
If the aforementioned old magazines and advertisements are not worth anything, I will simply take them to a place which will recycle them.
