A blonde woman in a hot-pink belted jumpsuit with a holstered revolver on her hip dominates the left foreground, one hand on her hip and the other raised in a farewell gesture. Beside her a blond man in a pale jacket and maroon trousers smokes a cigarette and waves upward. The title 'Bon Voyage' in thick pink cursive with black outline dominates the upper left over a white airliner tail fin. Five separate cream windows in a stepped black housing each show a single digit, 7 4 0 4 0, painted as part of the art.

A wide rectangular backglass bordered by a cream/beige wooden frame, its art painted in flat comic-book colour with heavy black outlines. The upper third is a pale sky washed with orange sunset bands, a white jet-airliner tail fin rising behind the artwork carrying a cursive company script, a small propeller plane and a jet silhouetted in the upper right, and a dark mass of trees or city buildings at the top left. The main title 'Bon Voyage' sits large in the upper left in bright pink-red cursive script with a heavy black outline and white shadow, stacked over two lines. To its right, five cream-coloured rectangular windows in a stepped black housing each hold a numeral, reading 7 4 0 4 0. The lower two-thirds shows a pale green airport apron with painted red and yellow taxiway lines and parked cars. Four figures stand on it: a blonde woman in a pink belted jumpsuit with a holstered revolver, a blond man in a pale grey jacket and maroon trousers, a blonde woman in a magenta mini-skirt and cap holding a red book, and a man in a blue pilot's uniform with gold sleeve stripes, peaked cap and black briefcase. Bottom text reads 'BALLS TO PLAY' at left and 'GAME OVER' at right.
