NOVEL TRIP PLANNED.
AUCKLAND TO EGYPT. PART OF JOURNEY BY AIR. A novel journey from Auckland ,to Cairo, travel to be made by air whenever possible, is contemplated by an Auckland lady, who has asked Messrs. Thomas Cook and Son to arrange the trip for her. An itinerary which has been mapped suggests the first stage of the journey should be made from Auckland to Fremantle by steamer. There is a regular air service from Fremantle to Derby, on the west coast of Australia, and the traveller will fly over this route. From Derhv a steamer will carry the traveller to India, and the journey from Karachi across the Persian Gulf, via Bagdad and Jerusalem, to Cairo will be made by air. It is proposed to return to New Zealand by the same route and using the same means of transport. The air service from Karachi to Cairo is maintained by Imperial Airways, Ltd. At present the service from Karachi to Basra, in the Persian Gulf, is not operating on account of a dispute between the company and the Persian Government, but it is expected to be settled shortly.
