From Los Angeles Times, back in February 10, 1985:

“Pan Am Has 90,002 Reservations : Public Interest Grows in Flights to the Moon
February 10, 1985|ROBERT E. DALLOS | Times Staff Writer

NEW YORK — Now that the airlines have been deregulated, they may fly just about anywhere they wish. And Pan American World Airways (…) has a list of 90,002 persons who hold reservations for the flights–to the moon.

Pan Am insists its moon-flight reservations program, established in 1968, is not a publicity stunt. (…)

The cards, says Pan Am, are not transferable and card holders must produce them before they can buy tickets to the moon. Although no deposits were required for the reservations, one would-be passenger was so anxious to secure his place in line that he sent along a check for $1 million. The check wasn’t cashed, Arey says. (…)

If your ticket is still valid and you happen to be travveling for business reasons so that you have to fill a expense claim: Buzz Aldrin’s voucher could be a good template.
