When you combine these fact of the two eras it's obvious that the players in 1965 were flying in more comfort than the players today.

Did NFL teams fly on chartered airplanes back then? They do know, and the seats are larger and more spread out than the standard commercial planes that us schmucks have to fly on. Despite the overall low travel score, 59% of the Colts players said they have a comfortable amount of space on flights.
