VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement heralds the dawn of international air travel, promoting the "London-Paris Air Express" service for transporting mails, parcels, and passengers. The daily timetable indicates a singular departure from Hounslow at 12:30 p.m., arriving in Le Bourget by 2:45 p.m., underscoring the novelty and exclusivity of early aviation schedules. The text details arrangements with British and French post offices for mail delivery, emphasizing efficiency despite limited flights. Parcel rates are mentioned as being high but justified due to speed and convenience. Passengers are offered a streamlined experience with transportation to their hotels upon arrival in Paris—a luxury service indicative of the era's grandeur in air travel.
