Only those travelers lucky enough to find extra space available in a Boeing mail plane at Chicago have been able to fly from New York to San Francisco without an overnight stop. But beginning this week (April 1) through service with trimotored passenger planes is open to everyone, by virtue of new schedules on National Air Transport (New York-Chicago) and Boeing Air Transport (Chicago-San Francisco). Passengers leaving New York about 9 a. m. transfer at Chicago in midafternoon, fly all night (in darkness over lighted airway from Iowa City to Salt Lake City) to land in San Francisco shortly after noon (31 hr.). Eastbound passengers take off about noon, fly in darkness from Salt Lake City to Omaha, reach Chicago at 11 a. m., New York in early evening (28 hr.).

The Boeing planes are not equipped with berths, but passengers may doze in reclining chairs with pillows and blankets. There are individual reading lamps. Through fare: $227.50.
