...most literal sense that was right. But Britain has been a trading nation far too long for its citizens to forget that devaluation sooner or later must hurt their pocketbooks by raising prices. Some unhappy Britons discovered that fact immediately. In Florence, British tourists who had bought their round-trip tickets in London before devaluation were not allowed to embark for home before paying an additional 14.3% to cover the pound's loss; at week's end 70 airlines agreed to increase by some 17% the price of airline tickets bought with pounds.

...service would involve one weekly round-trip flight each (two a week during the summer season) by Pan American World Airways and Aeroflot, the U.S.S.R.'s government-owned airline. Though U.S. and Soviet officials agreed more than a year ago to start such flights, the Russians were understandably reluctant to pit their obsolescent turboprop TU-114s against the much faster (600 m.p.h.) Boeing 707-320C jetliners that Pan Am plans to use on the runs. The IL-62, with a 560-m.p.h. cruising speed only slightly slower than the Boeing, was the obvious Soviet answer...
When the direct flights finally begin, the fares (example: $548 for a 21-day round-trip excursion) will be the same as those for present flights that require a change of planes. Because such costs are better suited to American pocketbooks, little change seems likely in existing travel patterns; last year 20,000 Americans visited Russia while only 3,000 Russians came to the U.S. But as a symbol of U.S.-Russian cooperation, the reciprocal flight should eventually stimulate two-way traffic on the bridges the U.S. is trying to build with Eastern Europe. Best guess is that...
...separate petitions to the Civil Aeronautics Board, United, TWA, American and Eastern Air Lines asked permission to curtail use of the almost industry-wide "Discover America" excursion fares. Generally, such fares offer a 25% discount from regular round-trip jet coach rates, while requiring travelers to return no sooner than the following calendar week and no later than 30 days after they start. The fare cannot be used during two peak travel times: noon to midnight Fridays and noon Sundays to noon Mondays...
...charter flights to Europe last summer, two of which cost $199 round-trip. The HSA board directors met Wednesday and decided to give refunds of approximately $10 to the 600 passengers aboard the four more expensive flights, which ranged in price from $39 to $79. The voted rebates were based on a surplus of about $6000 on last summer's operation...
