BIG TIME SAVINGS.
AIR TRAVEL ADVANTAGES. Flying by express air-liner, business men can now breakfast in London, have lunch in Leipzig, and sit down to dinner in Budapest. Air travel, by the accelerated services which are in operation, means that one can get twice as much done in approximately half the time. Flying to Paris and back in a day, you can have six clear hours in the French capital; while a journey say to Vienna is reduced from 27 hours by surface travel to 8 hours 50 minutes by air. On the main Empire routes, by using air travel instead of surface travel, passengers save 4 days on a journey to Baghdad, 6 to Khartoum, 8 to Cape Town, 9 to Delhi, 14 to Singapore, and 15 to Batavia, while a flight right through from England to Brisbane, Australia, is accomplished in 12i days by air, as compared with 32 days by surface transport.
