I just planned a cross country trip from St. John’s to Victoria using the 1946 timetable.
Travel time 1946: 34.5 hours
Travel time 2026: 10-14 hours
Next time your flight is 30 minutes late, just be thankful you can complete it in comfort in a handful of hours!

After listening to Ep 12, listener @flyguyyyc.bsky.social sent in these vintage Trans-Canada Airlines timetables from 1946!!
TCA was using converted Lancaster bombers to carry passengers known as the Avro Lancastrian.
You could make the journey from Montreal to London in a speedy 14.5 hours!
