Air Fare Mini-Go-Round
p. 163 · Read in the full issue
Reduced air-fares to London for under 26-year-olds make it worth while for young Australian or New Zealanders living in the Islands to return to the mainland before taking off for England, Europe or America.
Schemes such as the BOAC Mini fare operating in the off-season from Sydney and Auckland in June, July, August or October, and return April, May, June, July or August from
London, almost halve the economy class air-fare.
From Sydney it costs 5390 to Lon don via Asia and Europe and $405 via America. New Zealanders can fly in either direction for $397. The flight must be completed in 12 months.
These fares make it cheaper to fly to London, and stop-over on the way, than pay the full economy-class fare to, say, Rome!
