The Vinland and Norumbega Rail Road are proud to announce their new dirigible airship service, the London Flyer. The inaugural voyage will depart L'Anse aux Meadowes on Thursday next, the eighth of August, at 11am. Passengers who desire it will be let down at Dublin, and the service will arrive at London on Tuesday the twelfth of August.

The service will be Fast! The service will be Reliable! The service will be Comfortable! Passengers will be accommodated in luxury* suites, fed on the finest** delicacies, and given every*** facility for enjoyment.

You can be assured that every precaution will be taken against air pirates and the renegade Jarl of Akureyri. We have an experienced**** team of gunners, who will employ the latest beam projectors in defence of passengers.

In the event of bad weather, we will be able to rise above the winds and rain. Our airships can cruise at an altitude of five thousand ells, which will enable us to avoid the North Atlantic storms. And oxygen will be provided***** for passengers, should nature force us to fly at this height.

So why wait? Book your tickets now, and be the first to travel on the London Flyer!

Coming Soon!!! Onward connections to Muscovy and Archangel! Enjoy your favourite tea from its source!!

*Second-class passengers may not experience the same level of luxury.
**Second-class passengers may not be able to eat such fine delicacies.
*** Second-class passengers may not be able to avail themselves of some facilities.
**** Second-class passengers may be defended by trainee gunners.
***** Second-class passengers may have restrictions placed on their intake of oxygen.

****** If travelling second-class on this airship, do consider booking our very special insurance package...

Oh, this is absolutely super! :D
(But what with one thing and another, I think I'll just stay put in L'Anse aux Meadowes.)

Thank you! I also liked this one :-)

(And yes, I think that on the whole, I would rather stay in our world).

Well, our world, maybe, but if it was that world, I'd just settle down making goat cheese or something, and not even think about being a high-flying business-traveller.

I think that might be a little too exciting for my taste.
