Need Not Be
Expensive
Remarkably low-priced holidays in Britain are being offered by British Airways in its new Windsor holidays brochure which has recently been published.
Until the end of October prices can be as low as 1A90.00 per person for a two-week holiday. This is for a shared room with bath at the Park Plaza Hotel, Bayswater Road.
And here’s what else is included in the price: English breakfast daily, hotel service charges; coach transfers airport/hotel and vice versa; stalls or dress circle tickets to five of London’s most popular shows; tour of London’s West End and the City; river cruise from Westminster to Kew Gardens and return; admission to the London Zoo. Regents Park; and admission to Madame Tussaud’s famous waxworks exhibition.
There’s even more yet: an evening pub tour including such famous hostelries as Dirty Dick’s and the Anchor at Bankside; you are made a member of one of London’s leading casinos during your stay; and you will be given a London “Countdown” card which entitles you to discounts averaging 10 per cent at many night clubs, restaurants, pubs, shops, stores and beauty salons.
To cap it all you will receive a souvenir gift of a full-colour 12 in. x 14 in. illustrated 16-page book, describing the traditions and cere monies of the Queen’s Guards and a stereo record of regimental marches played by the band of the Coldstream Guards AND the magnificent 200page Egon Ronay guide giving full details of tourist information.
Prices can go to an incredible low of 5A56.00 if you stay for only one week at the Park Plaza but they are higher if you choose a more expensive hotel.
Another example is the self-drive tours of England, Scotland and Wales.

Picking up the car—a Vauxhall Viva or Ford Escort—at London Air port, you then have the choice of hotels at which you can stay in 126 British cities and towns. The price includes seven nights at any of the hotels (including English breakfast) and you have the use of the car for eight days with unlimited mileage (you pay for the petrol—and of course, the prices do not in either example include the air fare).
Further details may be obtained from any British Airways office or from your travel agent.
A tremendous range of holidays in Europe is also available starting from London and returning there. Things like 12 days to the Austrian Tyrol for 5A145.00 or an eight-day “Five Capitals” tour highlighting Brussels, Amsterdam, Bonn, Luxembourg and Paris for only 5A99.00.
