LUXURY TRIPS BY SEA AND AIR.
An air pleasure cruise from Croydon is significant of what may be a common occurrence in a few years' time. Formerly people who travelled mapped their own course and fitted in the ordinary steamship routes as best they could. Now giant liners are taken off their regular service solely to minister to the needs of pleasure tourists. There was recently launched a large ship which had been specially built for the purpose. The Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the north coast of Africa are now dotted with luxury ships carrying people who a few years ago would no more have thought of journeying to Morocco than to the moon. Air cruises will not, «of course, take the place of sea trips, for the delights of sea air from an important part of the latter's programme, but their scope will be wider. The first air cruise, extending to 3425 miles, will occupy only 40 hours of flying time.
