SIR,—I have followed the correspondence on BEA The Line That

Leaves You Behind with growing be- wilderment. The prudent traveller, in this case my- self. finds a good travel agent. Having done this, he has his file marked, 'Never Flies British. The result is that you arrive where you want to go on time, politely treated, well-fed, and in a good humour. If there is no proper airline serving the place you want to visit, the travel agents will tell you, and you can go by car, or not go at all. Why don't more people do this? One letter is enough to ensure it.
