British Continental Airways was founded on 15 April 1935 to fly from Croydon Airport, then London's air terminal, to Belgium, and soon added Ostend, Antwerp, Lille and Amsterdam. In early 1936 it extended the Amsterdam route to Scandinavia, putting it in direct competition with the subsidized British Airways Ltd, and the government steered the two together: from 1 August 1936 the company was merged into British Airways. This is a modern design in the vintage manner, with no recorded artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75\" h x 15.25\" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airline Employee Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67698207850630,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/2478\/7571\/files\/ToteFront-b06-BCA-Avoid-Held-Up.png?v=1792120699","url":"https:\/\/airlineemployeeshop.com\/products\/british-continental-airways-tote-bag-vintage-avoid-being-held-up-poster","provider":"Airline Employee Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
