Airfare Bargain: Perfumes are a natural airfare bargain-buy in Paris, and if you pay with travelers checks you may now better the airfare bargain by about 12 per cent at most shops, depending on the free rate of the franc. There are, as everyone knows, certain U.S. customs restrictions on importing French perfumes, but at present these seem to be very liberal, permitting the U.S. resident to bring in (within his free customs allowance) "one Bottle of each fragrance of each brand." This should be checked at the time of your purchase. Reputable shops in Paris keep posted on the rulings.Tourist class, with accommodations usually located forward or aft, offers the ravel budget a good airfare bargain on almost any ship and a wonderful airfare bargain on ertain specially designed ships like the Maasdam or Rijndam or the amazing new Mngsholm that have been built for total comfort in that class. If such travel as bese ships offer is the tourist zenith, the tourist nadir is to find oneself packed ito a four-person room with strangers who may or may not be congenial, and 3 have to "mix snores" for several or many nights. Your budget must be in heroic lood to endure such punishment, yet with a philosophical outlook and a bit of ack in one's roommates, even such sardine-can crossings can be fun.
It permits you to enter any train any time destined for anywhere in the kingdom, for a period of 5 days or 10 days, and anywhere, means everywhere. If you had the stamina for it you could legally live on trains, 120 hours for the 5-day card, 240 hours for the 10-day card. For the shorter period, in 3rd class, the cost is now a mere $7, for 2nd $12, for 1st (but many local trains carry no first) $17. If you double the period to the 10-day card, the cost is far from doubled. It is now $10, $17 and $24. This abonnement (somewhat similar to one in Switzerland) is a thing only for the rugged. You are tempted to use your airfare bargain card too much! But if you want this alluring airfare bargain, arm yourself with a passport picture and apply at any important station a day or two ahead of the day you propose to start your chain travels. |
