Airline Announces
New Family Rates
All American Always To In
troduce Half-Fare Family Plan
Effective Sept. "a.

Effective Saturday, September "a,
All American Always will intro
duce its half-fare Family Plan to
air travellers in the 50 cities which
it serves throughout the East
All Americans plan is designed to
save 500 of the present full fare
price of ticket and is applicable
for either husband or wife when
either pays the regular fare to any
of the cities on AAA's routes. APP
plicable on Monday, Tuesday, or
Wednesday of each week, the plan
was especially adopted to allow
either parent to- take along all mem
bers of the family who are 81 years
of age or younger for half fare.
On the departing flight family
must leave together on the same
schedule, but on the return trip any
members of the family may extend
the duration of their stay or make
stop-overs enroute just so long as
the travelling is done on the first
three days of the week
With the adoption of the Family
Plan, All American will continue
its policy to allow one child under
two years of age and not occupying
a seat to be carried free with each
family. AS previously, children be-
tween the ages of two and twelve
can fly All American at so per
cent saving on any day of the week.
All American anticipates that
families will take advantage of this
new plan by flying to conventions,
family reunions, and on winter va
cations. Because of this reduction
in travel costs by AAA, many bust
nessmen may combine pleasure with
business by taking along the family.
