With exhibits in both the Transportation & Travel and Hawaiian Pavilions, United Air Lines embraced the Fair.

Their June 1964 timetable advertises the Saul Bass film "From Here to There," United's main tent show in the Transportation & Travel Pavilion.

Typical air fare on a United DC-8 Jet Mainliner between Chicago and New York in 1964 ran about $43 for Coach travel and $53 for First Class. United could boast of one daily round-trip, one-stop flight between New York and Honolulu.

United developed a superb slide show on the Fair as a part of their promotional efforts. You may notice slides from "United Air Lines Presents" on various pages here at the website. There are even a couple below showing the interior of United's exhibit at T&T.

UNITED . . .

THE AIRLINE TO THE WORLD'S FAIR

 

At the Fair, be sure to include United's two exhibits -- in the Travel and Transportation Building and the beautiful Hawaiian Pavilion. At our Travel and Transportation exhibit, a film, "From Here to There", reveals the pleasure of jet flight in a new and unique way, through the cinema artistry of Saul Bass and Associates who have won wide acclaim for their achievements in Hollywood.

 

United or your Travel Agent will be pleased to make all of the arrangements for a wonderful vacation at the Fair. United's Family Plan saves 25% on travel for your wife and children. And remember United offers jet service to New York from more cites than any other airline.

Exhibit Check List

A popular collectible of the Fair is United's "Exhibit Check List" featuring a Jet Mainliner passing over the Fairgrounds. The small fold-out pamphlet included maps of the grounds and arterial highway approaches to the Fair, tips on what to see and do in New York and helpful hints and telephone numbers. A list of every pavilion at the fair along with two check boxes make up the majority of the pamphlet to help United customers remember the pavilions they'd like to see and the ones they saw.
