Athens- Paris Flight: My personal experience with TWA, aside from a California—New York flight, has been on the New York Athens- paris flightParis flight mentioned earlier. Its direct line to Athens, a service by which you need not change planes, is via Paris, but I elected to take its southern route in order to stop off in the Azores, and, by a seaplane tangent from Lisbon, to visit Madeira and the Canaries. This tangent I effected by Aquila Airways, which will be further mentioned below. TWA and Aquila are not associated but they maintain a sort of "promotional partnership" to bring these islands to American attention and no islands in any ocean are more deserving of it, for they are strikingly beautiful—and cheap, especially the customs-free Canaries, as I have said.4. On the rails, there is through service without change, if you take the wagon-lit, by the Orient Express between Paris and Athens. For local hauls, modern Diesel electric trains are often available. 5. A good new highway is now open between Athens and Macedonia. Also there is now a fine broad boulevard to the Attic seaside resorts south of Athens. Other asphalt roads go to Meteora and Nauplion, and there is a new route to Olympia.
Air Patterns Woven for This Book Overseas flights made in gathering the iterial for this book form quite a skein when taken from the reel. In the months mediately preceding the writing of it, and even during the last stages of its ;paration, to get the very latest, I have crossed the Atlantic three times both ,ys. The crossings, not always over and back by the same carrier, have been ide in this order: by Pan American Airways, by Air France, by KLM-Royal itch Airlines and by Trans World Airlines (TWA), this last being a New rk-Athens flight, angling back from Greece to Paris. |
