Western Airlines 16oz Pint Glass
Raise a glass to Western Airlines and the routes that helped connect the American West. Founded as Western Air Express in 1925, the company began with airmail between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles before welcoming passengers in 1926. Its network later reached across the West and beyond, and its Flying W identity became a memorable part of aviation history. This pint glass brings that airline story to everyday gatherings and makes a thoughtful pick for aviation enthusiasts and former Western travelers.
Founded in 1925 by Harris Hanshue as Western Air Express, the airline began with a U.S. airmail contract linking Salt Lake City, Utah, and Los Angeles, California. Its first flight took place on April 17, 1926, and passenger service followed a month later. After a 1930 purchase of Standard Air Lines, Western Air Express joined Transcontinental Air Transport to form Transcontinental & Western Air; it separated in 1934 and returned to its earlier name. The company became Western Air Lines in 1941, later known as Western Airlines. Acquisitions and mergers expanded its network, including National Parks Airways in 1937, Inland Air Lines, whose operations were absorbed in 1952, and Pacific Northern Airlines in 1967. Based at Los Angeles International Airport, Western developed major hubs in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, with Denver also a hub in earlier years. Its routes reached across the western United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico and, for a time, London. Following a merger agreement with Delta Air Lines in 1986, Western became a Delta subsidiary that December. The Western brand and workforce were integrated into Delta on April 1, 1987; Delta retained the Los Angeles and Salt Lake City hubs.
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.
