I learned: One way for airlines to become “green” before alternative fuels take off is to reduce fuel use now. Considering the Airline Transportation Association (ATA) ranks fuel as the number two cost for an airline, fuel use has become a pretty important economical consideration as well. In the third quarter of 2008 alone, the ATA reported that the average expenditure on fuel for U.S.-based airlines was 35 percent.

The human fee is ridiculous... so now in a down economy, you want people to keep their jobs and keep your customers happy.... Lets charge the passengers extra money to talk with someone.

Sandy said...

Loved taking a peek at the most luxurious ways to travel. Maybe someday I'll get to travel on Virgin Atlantic Airlines. But for now, I'd love to win the $200 Southwest Airline voucher. My hubby, three kiddos and I always fly SWA when we go to Texas to visit my family. :)

My favorite tip: Air travel brings enough headaches before you even reach the gate, so don’t compound those problems by being uncivil; every passenger is in the same position, literally, and deserves the same respect and space as you.

Thanks for the contest.

I love the tip about remembering how much parking can cost after several days of your car sitting at the airport and that this can be easily saved by getting a ride to the airport, i.e., family member, cab, etc.! My husband and I are sticklers for doing this whenever we can! Great tip!

I learned "to actively drink a ton of water and other replenishing fluids in the two days before you fly, that way you don’t have to try to catch up the day of your flight." Typically I limit my beverage intake while flying because I do not want to be in a position where I will have to use the bathroom on the plane!

D said...

If I weren't traveling with kids I think i would want to get bumped off of an over full flight for this reason-
As of 2008, airlines have been mandated by the government to pay $800 – double the amount of money they used to – to passengers who aren’t re-booked within in four hours.

J, K, L, and D said...

I thought it was hilarious that the shortest flight is from Westray to Papa Westray -2 minutes/1.7 miles! I guess it's because it's in the Scottish Isles...but I wonder if a ferry wouldn't be just as fast...
