London
"Landing is no reason to come down to earth/' says the BOAC division of British Airways in introducing travellers to 'Countdown', a scheme for obtaining special reductions and concessions at London shops, stores, restaurants, clubs, theatres, hotels, and so on.
A handy booklet giving full details of where these concessions are available can be obtained from BOAC, PO Box 1361, Suva, Fiji. The cost is $2.50 and a cash card valid for one year is included.
A reduction of 10 per cent is given by the hotels, restaurants and stores listed. Hairdressing salons, photographic equipment, and gift shops all come into the category as well as sightseeing tours (up to 20 per cent off), car rental, sporting goods and many other needs for the traveller.
There are also special offer vouchers covering such things as free member ship to the Royal Shakespeare Company Club, 'two-for-one' entrance to the Royal Academy of Arts, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and others.
A short guide to London and maps are included in the booklet for good measure.
