Handbook On Luggage: Even in big-ship first : is rarely done on the first and last evenings and not too generally on Sunday venings. Dress clothes, of course, involve extra luggage and since the chances re several to one against your needing them on shore if you are taking a normal oliday tour, you may arrange with the steamship company to hold in storage a rank or suitcase containing this gear, to be picked up on the return trip, for se again on the steamer. Luggage problems, along with the luggage itself, can bus be lightened in Europe by perhaps one-fourth.
Passenger needs and diversions are so carefully provided for that it seems the plane lacks nothing except a shooting gallery. In the copious pocket on the back of the seat before you, is a big folding envelope containing a variety of travel helps, on the house. These include the Currency Converter I have mentioned earlier, a Time Selector, showing you the time in your home city and everywhere else in the world, a handbook on luggage, a booklet explaining the U.S. Customs rules, a booklet telling every imaginable fact about air travel and another one with specific tips about your touring in Europe, a book of world route maps and a few leaflets on assorted company facts such as the PAA Universal Travel Plan, whereby you may travel anywhere in the world on a charge account.
LAUNDRY is handled much more swiftly in Europe than it used to be. Twenty-four-hour service, at considerably higher prices than for three-to five-day service, is offered in many of the Continent's top hotels.
LIFE and THEFT INSURANCE, meaning special policies for yourself and your luggage during travel abroad, is one of those advisable things which too few persons too seldom bother with. Luggage insurance against theft or loss can mean much to your peace of mind. Ask your insurance agent about the so-called "All-Risk Tourist Floater." As in the matter of inoculations, I'm a very poor one to give advice on this subject, for in thirty years not one thing, in any country in the world, has ever been stolen from my luggage while it was in transit or in hotels, nor has anything, including open money on my night table, ever been lifted from my room.
