For the convenience of students who are planning to go south or west for Christmas Vacation, the prices of round trip tickets to various points by air, or rail, are listed here.
The quotations on hitch-hiking could not be obtained, for the Boston representative of the A.H.H.A. had not yet arrived from a meeting of the Association in Houston, Texas, in 1928.
The airplane quotations represent, in most cases, a 10 per cent reduction from twice the one-way fare. There is no reduction on round trip railway fares east of Chicago. The Pullman prices given are twice the one-way price for lower berths. There is no reduction for round trip. Upper berths are 80 per cent of the price of lowers.
Students travelling in groups by plane have, under certain conditions, access to a 15 per cent reduction on round trips. Call Boston offices for information. The round trip rates are as follows: An interesting possibility would be to leave Boston by the 3:00 o'clock plane for San Francisco, catch the Monday China Clipper to Manila. Charter a plane on Thursday to cover the short space to Singapore where British Imperial will take you to Bombay, where you may sightsee for several hours before catching the Dutch Airways plane arriving in Amsterdam the following Thursday. From Amsterdam a German line takes you to Friedrichshafen, arriving at 8:45 o'clock. The Graf Zeppelin, should it be sailing by any chance at this season, will get you to Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, January 6, where you may hop on Pan American's Southern Clipper and be in Miami on the following Tuesday and in Boston Wednesday morning, January 13. This trip would cost you only $436, 175 Tael, 1250 Guilder, 200 pounds, 1250 Reichsmarks, 400 milreis, plus some cents, cash, yen, pfennigs, shillings, pence, centimos, Mexican dollars, and shirt studs. If the Zeppeiln is not sailing, you can get the Normandie and be home for classes on Monday, January 4.
