[ heard in the news recently - Werner] Polaroid and TWA have a joint promotion at the moment. Buy any Polaroid camera and you get a coupon worth 25% off some (any?) TWA tickets. Given that I can buy a $50 auto-focus Polaroid for ~$30 at some discount places and get 25% off a $800 round-trip ticket to go skiing in Austria, you may wonder what I'm doing here still ..... Some restrictions mentioned were that the discount can only be applied before April 85 and after September 85 (don't recall until when it's valid). the NPR (National Public Radio) commentator stated that the demand is incredible and that travel agencies and large companies are buying Polaroids by the hundreds .... a little later in the news I heard that American (I believe it was) has announced a 'fare-war' with discounts up-to 75% on all their routes. I didn't catch other details, but there were also some TV ads announcing some details, but mainly it was 'glossy hype' rather than useful and clear information. Best ask your travel-agent or the airlines directly about it. [ see you in the South Pacific .... werner@ut-ngp ]
