INTERCHANGEABLE TICKETS
<#—.— AGREEMENT BETWEEN SHIPPING AND AIR LINES Details of the new interchangeable tickets between shipping and air lines have been received by shipping agents. The services concerned are British Imperial and K.L.M. Airways, with the Qantas link to Australia, and the Canadian Australasian, Union Royal Mail, Orient, Peninsular and Oriental, Peninsular and Oriental branch, and Blue Funnel shipping lines. Details sre not yet complete, but it will be provided that a passenger may book a return passage to travel one way by sea and one way by air, on the basis of each company's halfreturn fare. It is also provided that a passenger, holding a retforn ticket by sea and having made a voyage one way, may return by air on payment of the difference between half the return fare by sea and half the return fare by air. One improvement in air travel was effected on June 12 with the introduction of the K.L.M. bi-weekly service between Europe and Java. This makes it possible, it is stated, with the sid of Qantas Empire Airways, for a passage to be made from Sydney to London in 13 days, with four days' break in the East, and without night flying.
