Now I didn’t fly much before I was born, I’ll admit, but my first guess would be that this is a photo taken for an ad, not an actual flight in progress.
Flying was a much different experience before deregulation.
Back then, there were stringent price floors on tickets, so airlines couldn’t lower prices to compete with each other. Instead, they had to compete on service, which typically included lavish meals.
That said, all airline tickets were typically priced as first class tickets today, so a lot of people didn’t fly regularly.
All the windows have curtain, how convenient you cant see if they are actually flying or not. The ceiling height is also suspicously to high, it seems fake. And calling that buzzfeed gallery as an “article” hmm…
Where it mentions the exact model of the plane? I never questioned whether you could buy food like that, but none of those photos were taken on an airplane. Ceiling is too high. Overhead storage has no doors. Separator wall has a gap below the ceiling, things you won’t see on an actual plane.

Looks like a staged photo, the corner where the wall meets the ceiling makes a hard right angle, which makes me think it’s a building and not a plane.

Yeah I am sure that this is a studio photo in a recreated aircraft cabinet.
It just sounded like you were doubting the fact that this was a thing
