Question: Next summer I would like to fly out to Denver and the Rocky Mountains for a vacation, and I dont want to pay the fare demanded by the major airlines. Is it possible to take the small airlines out in stages say, to Columbus, Chicago, Rapid City, etc. and do it more cheaply? ANSWER; THE FARES charged on routes between major cities in the United States change frequently, and at any one time there is likely to be a bewildering choice of fares, each with a different set of restrictions. This is the result of competition among the airlines spurred by decreasing governmental regulation. It is highly unlikely that the combination of fares among several smaller cities, such as you suggest, would be less than the lowest round-tri- p fare between New Yrrk and Denver since there is less traffic, hence less competition, on these routes. The major airlines least expensive fare may also have the most restrictions; plan your trip well in advance and study each airlines fare offerings so that you may take advantage of the one that suits you best. Question; Thirteen years ago I went on a cruise aboard the Hanseatic, which had formerly been the Shalom. Under what flag and what name does she now sail? ANSWER: UNTIL NEXT January she will be the Doric; then she will be owned and operated by the Royal Cruise Line and will be known as the Royal Odyssey and sail under the Greek flag. Her maiden voyage as the Royal Odyssey will begin at the end of May 1982 in the port of Athens and continue through the Mediterranean.
