Now You're Probably Ready To Book Your Flight

Why are these Zeppelins so fascinating? One explanation is that they really bring the experience of flight home to the traveler. You aren't cramped in a pressurized cabin, jetting at 35,000 feet; instead, you are gliding along at around a mile a minute, taking in the scenery from a cruising altitude of around 650 feet. That means you can get a good look at the Earth passing beneath you, whether the view consists of icebergs over the North Atlantic or the Great Wall of China. You can even open up the windows and get some fresh air during the flight. Another explanation of the Zeppelin's attraction is that everyone enjoys a good phallic symbol, and the Zeppelin is one of the biggest and best.

Now that you are probably ready to book your flight, I think you will enjoy this link to an English language brochure published in the 1930's by the Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei, the company responsible for the big German dirigibles. It will take you back to the Golden Age of Aviation.
