You can be airborne Tourist or First Class. You’ll save loot on Tourist, but you must buy your own meals and your seat may not be reserved as on First Class. Ask Reservations about saving money on weekday excursions, family or stopover plans.
The airlines provide a limousine service to shuttle you and your guests between the airport and city terminal for a reasonable fee. Find out what time the limousine leaves the terminal to meet your particular flight and then allow yourself enough time to have your luggage (40 pound limit) taken care of. Wherever you go in the airport, you and the airlines are in touch by means of a loudspeaker which tells you of flight delays or notifies you when and where to board your plane. Report promptly to the specified gate and show your ticket. If traveling with unreserved seats, be an early bird. You can choose the best seat — an unobstructed view from a rear seat or less motion up front.
Coach is easiest on the budget. You get a seat and the use of the general washroom. Dining-car service is open to all. Pullman or First Class begins in price with an Upper Berth that is converted from your seat. A Lower Berth works the same way but costs a little more. Then, increasing in cost and luxury, but offering the privacy of your own room, toilet and washstand, are: Roomettes, for one person only; Single Bedrooms, for one; Double Bedrooms, for one or two; Single Compartments, for two; Double Compartments, for four or five; and, most spacious, Drawing Rooms for two or three. Don’t forget to ask Reservations about off

Ask Information or your porter which gate your train leaves from and have your ticket ready to show to the conductor at the entrance. The porter will carry your bags into the car, place them on the overhead rack and help you adjust your seat. The tipping rate: 25 <j: for each bag. Sandwiches and beverages are sold
in the Coach and make a cheaper meal than a dining-car dinner. The dining-car waiter receives the standard restaurant tip — 15% of the bill. Frequently the train stops at stations long enough for passengers to get off, but watch your time carefully. The Pullman Porter will make up your berth at night. For this and other services tip him 50<# per night at the end of your trip. Unless you have a private room, you’ll be sharing a general washroom, so don’t take too much time. Wear a robe over your pa
