Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a memorable chapter of California aviation to everyday gatherings with this Pacific Southwest Airlines pint glass. PSA began service in 1949 with a San Diego to Oakland route and grew into a familiar intrastate carrier, known for its smile-nosed aircraft and friendly identity. Its story spans the rise of low-cost air travel, expansion beyond California, and integration into USAir in 1988. For aviation enthusiasts and longtime fans, this glass offers a simple way to celebrate a distinctive airline and its place in California history.
Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) was a low-cost airline headquartered in San Diego, California, and operated from 1949 to 1988. Kenny Friedkin began the airline on May 6, 1949, with a weekly San Diego–Oakland service via Burbank using a leased Douglas DC-3. PSA grew into a major California intrastate carrier, adding San Francisco service in 1951 and later serving Los Angeles International Airport. Its smile-nosed aircraft and “The World's Friendliest Airline” slogan became recognizable parts of its identity. The airline went public in 1963 and expanded beyond California after federal deregulation began in 1978, including service to other western states and Mexico. Its results in the newly deregulated market disappointed. On December 8, 1986, USAir agreed to purchase PSA; the transaction closed on May 29, 1987, and PSA was integrated into USAir on April 9, 1988. USAir later became part of US Airways, which merged with American Airlines. PSA's low-cost California model also helped inspire Southwest Airlines. American Airlines Group continues to use the PSA name for its regional subsidiary, PSA Airlines.
A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
