Planning on skiing, going to Nassau, or just going home for spring break?
How are you traveling? Plane, train, or car? No matter what mode of travel you choose, there are certain arrangements that must be made. And soon!
Passenger departments of the Santa Fe, Rock Island, and Union Pacific Railroads and the Maupitour Associates Travel Agency offer the following suggestions for simplifying your trip and making your vacation more pleasant.
SEVERAL TRAINS leave Lawrence daily in all directions. Each consists of a specific number of cars. This number remains constant unless the passenger headquarters expects a significant increase in the number of passengers.
- Reservations must be received several weeks ahead of time in order for extra cars to be ordered. Being unaware of this situation, students call up for reservations the day before train time, or even a few minutes before departure.
- If possible, students should make their reservations at least three weeks before train time.
They are then assured a seat on the desired train.
- All reservations should be picked up at least three days before train time. This will eliminate the long lines at the ticket office before departure. Many students are forced to wait in line and almost miss the train.
- When making reservations for a trip, students should buy round-trip tickets. In most cases, there is a 20 per cent savings by buying a two-way ticket. If the return ticket is not used, money can be refunded. This way, the student saves money and the railroad can judge how many passengers to expect.
The Santa Fe Railroad has made time tables and bargain rate charts available in the Kansas Union. Bargain rates are in effect for students from Sept. 15 to May 30. In calling the Santa Fe for information and reservations, students should avoid calling around train times. There is only one agent at the ticket office who is expected to sell tickets and seat reservations, besides answering the phone and making arrangements for the train.
The bus companies in Lawrence do not feel it is necessary to make arrangements ahead of
time. According to one agent for the busses, "we can always get you on!"
THE MAUPINTOUR Associates are agents for all major airlines and resorts. They arrange ski trips, island vacations and cross country flights. The agency employees make all arrangements, if they are contacted soon enough.
"Spring break plans need to be made immediately," Mr. Houk of the Maupintour Agency, said. "There is no extra charge for this service."
Following these points will save time, money, and nerves of the student. By buying you ricket early, you can board the train, bus, or plane and have a leisurely trip. Have a nice vacation!
