Schedule Changes Help Islanders

New (northern) winter schedules, which BOAC will introduce from the beginning of November, will give a much more convenient time of departure—7.ls a.m.—for passengers from Fiji wishing to travel to Sydney.

The new schedule will also eliminate the need for passengers from east Fiji to stay in Nadi over night. Instead they will be able to board Air Pacific’s FJI2I, leaving Suva for Nadi at 6 a.m., to connect with the newly-scheduled BOAC flights, which will continue operating on the same days of the week— Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Passengers will be able to check in and have their baggage registered for Sydney at Nausori airport. They will arrive in Sydney at 10.30 a.m.

Passengers heading for London by BOAC VC 10 via Los Angeles will travel from New York to London by 747, gaining the advantage of films in flight while they cross the Atlantic in daytime.

BOAC has also announced a speeding-up of some of its jumbo jets flights, westwards to London from Sydney, where passengers from Fiji and the islands can join them.

Included will be a “cannonball” service on Wednesdays with only three

stops to London—at Perth, Singapore, and Bahrain. This reduces the journey time from 34 hours 15 minutes to 27 hours 20 minutes. Previously the service called at Perth, Singapore, Bangkok, Tehran, Tel Aviv and Frankfurt.
