Mostly would depend on hallmarks, and Condition.  Can you post pics and a pic of the hallmark if any?  There are collectors for Airline and Hotel items but if they are from the 70's I would assume you would be looking at $20.00 max if condition is excellent, most cups and Saucers will get about $10.00 to $15.00 even the one's from Pre 40's.  But like I said because they are Airline Cups you may get 20.  Again please post pics and espically the hallmarks.

Having collected a few of these myself over the years....these are some good sites for you to browse...

On EBay enter "airline plates" for your search....

Sorry, but an average TWA cup/saucer sells for appx $5 - $10. (It depends who made it as well...)     If this one is unique (PLEASE POST PIC) you can get upwards to $45+.
