AIR TRAVEL
QUITE COMMONPLACE IN EUROPE Air travel has attained a vogue abroad that has made this method of travel quite commonplace (reports the ‘‘Travellers’ Gazette,” the journal published bv Thos. Cook and Son, Melbourne).’ Newspaper reports show that last summer all records for aerial travel between London mid the Continent have been broken, with Americans a majoritv of the travellers. Indeed, more traffic has offered than the present equipment of planes could accommodate. One British air line alone carried 1073 passengers to the Continent in one week; 121 passengers made the journev between Paris and London in one dav bv the French air lines. A recent Press item announces the •addition to the London-Paris service of a luxurious 20-seater restaurant plane, with electrically-operated buffet service. Another machine for the t’aris-Constantinople express has regular sleeping-car berths and speciallv silenced engines. Tn the last twelve months more than 65,000 persons have flown over 9,000,000 miles on commercial air lives.
