holidays
The new Speedbird holiday pro gramme just launched by British Air ways for the period November 1, 1974 to March 31, 1975 gives a choice of add-on package holidays in Britain, Europe and North America at very competitive rates.
“London for You”, for example, includes 13 nights’ hotel accommoda tion with English breakfast, tickets for six popular shows, an Avis self-drive car free of rental for three days, sightseeing, entertainment, a London Countdown card giving discounts at many shops, stores and restaurants and a number of other advantages for only 5A90.00.
An innovation in one of the holi days in Britain is one week in London plus a second week of unlimited travel .throughout England, Wales and Scot land by express coach services. Ac commodation and continental break fast are included in the first week but not in the second as travellers can choose to stay wherever they wish.
A package which includes accom modation, two tickets to London theatres, the use of an Avis car for one day and a 10 per cent cash dis count card to many restaurants, stores etc, is available for only 5A72.00.
If an eight-day British Rail pass is taken instead of the coach, the cost is SAB7.
“Europe for You” offers eight, 12 or 15 day coach tours of Europe starting at the low price of SAII3 for an itinerary which includes five capitals. All coach travel is during daytime.
America, too, is included in the programme. You plan as you go along and select accommodation at any of the 500 Holiday Inns throughout North America. For two persons sharing a room the cost is SAB each per day, or with self-drive car including un limited mileage, SAM a day each.
