OK, so you're advocating for the return of the Bristol Freighters. Good call!

Crikey! I know that's only $2000 a year each but an awful lot of people don't go anywhere, so someone is making up the numbers. Is that just leisure travel? I've spent money going overseas exactly 3 times in my life. 1998, 2012, and 2019. On a yearly basis, as an adult, that's probably less than $300 per year in today's money.
