The Old Improbable Island Wiki

For travelers unwilling or too weak to risk the trip between cities on foot, your Travel Agent's office offers a range of flight plans that can transport almost instantaneously to the city of your choice. The flights are staffed entirely by over-developed gorillas originally trained by the tax collection office, so travelers can expect some rough handling. Still, the trips boast a nice range of in-flight movies and free noise-canceling headsets, so you don't have to listen to the passenger in the next seat tell you all about the time he killed a Blair Hippo with a sharpened metal stick and a scavenged tin can. If you cannot afford the Watcher's weekly champagne tour around the Island, this is the next best way to get where you're going quickly.¹⁾
