ROUND EUROPE BY AIR

A SEVEN DAYS’ JOUURNEY

Following experiments last year, airway tours are being arranged which will enable holiday makers from London to fly round Europe in seven days, passing for 2500 miles above nine countries, and making sightseeing halts at seven great Continental cities (says the London ‘Daily Mail”). Ascending early in an Imperial Airways’ aeroplane, travellers fly to Paris, where they fly on to Zurich (Switzerland), reaching there soon after luncheon, and devoting the remainder of the day to sightseeing. On the third day the air express bears them via Munich to Vienna, where they spend the evening. Next morning they' make an early start and alight at Warsaw, the capital of Poland, in the early afternoon. Thev embark in another aeroplane early the following morning for Prague, reaching there in time to spend most of the fifth day in the capital of Czecho-Slovakia, and on the sixth day they' wing their way to Leipzig. Alter about five hours there they fly on to Berlin, reaching it at tea time, and spending the evening and night there. And on the seventh day the airway wafts them via Amsterdam and the Belgian coast to London. The fares for such a tour, including motor-car transport to and from aerodromes, would total approximately £35, and passengers would fly in the ’planes of four countries—Britain, Switzerland, Poland and Germany. No night travel would be entailed.
