M/Ss of an 'Air France' plane on the runway; there is snow on the ground and people are walking from the plane. M/S in the restaurant and C/U of bacon, egg and tomato being served onto a plate. The commentator says "Outside...it might be bitterly cold and depressing, and yet in a few hours by jet the traveller can be basking in the sunshine of, say, North Africa..."
