AIR TRAVEL CHEAP.
Doesn't Cost ANY More in Europe
Than by Rail in America.

The cost of travel by air in Europe
at present is not excessive and is
roughly equivalent to f1rst-class pas
senger travel by rail. The actual
cost of air tickets for total of $500
miles was $780,. or between and s
cents per air mile. 1t Is to be re-
membered that the actual ground dis
tance is in almost every instance
considerably longer than the air dis
tance involved.
For the flight from Toulouse,
France, to Spanish Morocco and re-
turn. the distance Of 1880 air miles Is
flown at cost of ss4, or at a rate of
3h cents per air mile.
If the cost of sleeping accommoda-
tions and meals on trains or boats is
included, the travel by air in many
instances Is actually more economical
than first-class passage by any other
means.
