| Résumé/Présentation |
"Few air travellers along Britain's Empire air routes in the 1930s were intentional holidaymakers. Survey data, and passenger profiles culled from other contemporary sources, show that most commercial airline passengers flew on work assignment. High fares deterred leisure travel by air, but air passengers flying long-distance on paid business or public service errands incidentally became tourists by virtue of the slow, low altitude, daylight flights that stopped frequently for refuelling: infant aeronautical technology and air travel economics created tourism of sorts along new routes...."
