　　Passengers were also required to have a great deal of patience when flying across the world. London to Brisbane, Australia, was the longest route available and cost as much at $20,000 (£13,800) for a round-trip, due to inflation.

　　搭乘飞机穿梭于世界各地，乘客需要有极大的耐心。从伦敦到澳大利亚布里斯班的飞行是最长的行线，而且由于通货膨胀，一个这样的往返需要花费20000美元(13800英镑)。

　　And despite the hefty price tag, flyers would still have to put aside 11 days either way for their journey - which today takes around 22 hours - because that's how long each flight took after it had landed 24 times at scheduled stops.

　　而且，除了价格不菲之外，乘客还得花11天的时间来完成这段旅程(现在大概只需要22个小时)，会在预定的24个地点经停。
