Notes
To Australia via Hindenburg over the North Atlantic and then air from Frankfurt (via Italy or Greece) to Darwin and then Melbourne; 40₵ USA zeppelin rate + 36₵ air to Australia + 15₵ NYC registration = 9₵ overpaid.
Scarce destinations add value to zeppelin mail and show that mail could be sent worldwide both to and from zeppelins..
