Airship Ventures Announces Historic Voyages Between San Francisco and Los Angeles

MOFFETT FIELD, CA, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Continuing to celebrate its second season of operations, Airship Ventures
announced today that in May, Eureka, the largest airship in the world,
will make the first-ever passenger flights between San Francisco and Los
Angeles by a Zeppelin. Bookending the Memorial Day holiday and a special
week of Los Angeles tours, Eureka's first California Airship Cruises will
allow passengers to enjoy spectacular views of California's Coastline and
Central Valley as they sail in comfort 1,000 feet above the sights.
Weather permitting, departure is scheduled for May 20 with a return on
May 26.

"This is the first time since the Graf Zeppelin passed through California
in 1929 on its round-the-world trip that sightseers have ever had the
opportunity to view Central California and Los Angeles from a passenger
Zeppelin," noted Airship Ventures Director of Sales Joanne Fedeyko. "Our
inaugural California Airship Cruises and Los Angeles Airship Tours are
quite literally historic occasions and they exemplify the type of unique
experiences our passengers enjoy everywhere we fly."

In addition to a week of California Airship Cruises and Los Angeles
Airship Tours, Airship Ventures will continue to offer scenic flights
above the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas and continue its most
popular promotions; highlights include:

-- Flight-seeing-for-Two: Share an airship adventure and soar above the
sights with someone special with the limited-time Flight-seeing-for-Two
promotion. Buy one tour ticket or gift certificate and save 50% on a
second. Some restrictions apply.

-- Mother's Day Flights: Give mom a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get
away from it all with an Airship Ventures gift certificate or Mother's Day
tour. Admire the views with mom on board Eureka, or wave to her from the
ground as she relaxes at 1,000 feet above San Francisco or Monterey.
