 |
|
Hey all,
it turns out that in the year 1935, air travel in the US cost an average of just under 6c. per mile. As I've got a city-to-city distance table in my period Collier's Atlas, that means I can now easily calculate the average fares for many trips. 
cheers!

Oh, and looking over a 1935 Empire Builder brochure has given my the fact that the train ticket cost was 2c. per mile.
cheers!

Thanks for the offers, guys, but getting to Gen Con is a bit on the costly and time-consuming side for me, sadly. One of the downsides of living on the other side of The Pond.
cheers!

It's funny that this comes up in a topic about the cost of air travel 
For the record, I'm pretty sure I'm further away from Indy than you are and I'm going to be there Then again, I don't have a mortgage, child, car or any of those additional expenses to worry about.
