First-Class Bargains

Impressed by the success of cut-rate fares, scheduled airlines last week announced a new batch of low fares on transcontinental and transatlantic runs. Among them:

P: On all scheduled North Atlantic flights from January through March, there will be 15-day round-trip fares at only 10% more than the regular one-way fare. Thus, a New York-to-London winter round trip will cost but $385, v. a regular round-trip fare of $630.

P: Starting Jan. 1, Pan American World Airways will make two round trips a week, and daily round trips' from June through September, from New York to Rome, to carry U.S. pilgrims celebrating the Roman Catholic Holy Year. Pan Am, which does not have a scheduled route to Rome, will furnish ten-day, $698 all-expense tours.

P: T.W.A., which squawked angrily at Pan Am's invasion of its Rome route, also offered Holy Year all-expense tours at special low rates through March. Sample: 15-day trips with stops at Rome, Paris and three other cities. Price, including hotels, meals, guides, etc.: $646.

Starting next week, T.W.A. and American Airlines will make daily coach trips with DC-45 between New York and Los Angeles at a one-way fare of $126.50 (including tax), v. a regular first-class fare of $181.53 (railroad coach fare: $82.15).
