How To Travel in an Economy Class Seat More Comfortably Nov 30th 2011, 13:00 How to Travel in an Economy Class Seat More Comfortably From your Air Travel Guide A long flight in an economy seat is one of the prospects that air travelers tend to dread. Here are a few tips to try and make it more comfortable. Here's How: Place one of the provided pillows between your lower back and the seat. Helps ease back soreness. Pack your own neck pillow, or scrunch one provided by the airline to support your neck. Do periodic stretches. Place your hands on the armrests and slowly twist your torso to loosen your upper body. When the seatbelt light is off, stretch your legs by walking down the aisle of the aircraft with a bit more bend in your knees. Limber up swollen feet by slowly turning your feet at the ankle in circular patterns. Should help maintain good blood flow. Moisturize hands and face with heavy/lasting creams or petroleum jelly. The air is very dry inflight and thin moisturizers wear or rub off. Keep the air vent above you open. Dampen a facecloth, place it over your face, and aim the air vent at the cloth. Helps with dryness. Bring lots of chewing gum for changes in air pressure. Ears don't always pop just during take-off and landing times, but during the flight as well. Helps with the nerves as well! Wear loose fitting, slip on shoes. Feet swell, and if you take shoes off at any point in a flight, a shoe that just fits can be painful to put back on. Wear loose fitting clothes. Inflight dining and drinking may leave you feeling bloated. If you are wearing pantyhose or tights make sure that you moisturize your legs well. The dryness inflight can make legs feel very itchy in tights or pantyhose if you don't. Try and drink as many non alcoholic beverages as possible. Perhaps bring an extra bottle of water with you. When traveling with a broken arm, or toe, etc., make sure that your doctor has provided you with adequate pain medication. The compression inflight can make a broken bone feel excruciatingly painful. Try not to keep your hair in a ponytail, or use hair clips in the back of your head. These will dig into your head after a few hours of the rigid seat backs.

Death and the Airlines Nov 30th 2011, 13:00 This is not a topic that is often brought up regarding air travel, but it occurs every year, without fail - to paraphrase the cliche - just like taxes.

Not every seat on every flight is available for payment with frequent flyer miles, but rather a varying percentage of seats are made available. You will be competing for fewer available seats, so the top 10 list for how to redeem your miles is even more important. Some of the redemption options that American Airlines offers are quite different from other frequent flyer plans such as teaming up with programs that allow you to use miles towards savings for college. American Airlines' Top 10 ways to use the miles you've earned 1. Vacation Planning - members can use as few as 500 miles towards paying for vacations planned with AAVacations.com, including hotel, car rentals and local activities. 2. Off-peak travel awards - you can use less miles if you are willing to travel at less popular times which vary by destination. 3. Short-Hop awards - these are not always available and pop up more as a promotion which allow members to claim awards on trips of 750 miles or less at reduced mileage levels. 4. Gift of Travel - you can use your miles to give travel opportunities to family members, friends or even donate miles to various charities. 5. Admirals Clubs - use you miles to use the lounge. AAdvantage miles can be redeemed for annual Admirals Club memberships and really relax before your flights. 6.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Airport Procedures

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Airport Procedures Nov 23rd 2011, 10:04 A number of airports will have a specific area for checking in unaccompanied minors, or other passengers requiring special assistance. Look for signs that indicate this, or ask an airline representative before joining the regular check-in line. Once at check-in you will be asked to provide information about the unaccompanied minor. Airlines complete forms that normally include the child's identification; flight itinerary; a parent or guardian's authorization; and the details about who will be meeting the child at the destination (may require all or any combination of phone number, address, name, and relationship to the child). Airlines also have items to help keep track of unaccompanied minors. Airlines may provide a baseball cap, pin or button, or a lanyard (a hanging tag worn over the neck) in order that the child may be easily identified by all airline staff. An airline representative takes the unaccompanied minor through security and brings them to the gate where the child will be escorted on board by an airline representative, normally prior to other passengers. The adult who brings the unaccompanied minor to the airport is required to stay until the airplane departs. Stay within earshot of the airport representative who checked the child in so that you can be advised of when the aircraft has left. It is advisable to remain at the airport not only until the aircraft has pushed away from the gate, but until the flight is airborne. This way you'll have the peace of mind knowing that the child is truly headed for their destination. During the flight, the unaccompanied minor is supervised by the inflight crew. Upon landing at the destination the child will wait until the passengers not requiring assistance have left the aircraft, and the inflight crew will hand the child over to a member of the airline's airport staff. The airline representative then escorts the child to the arrivals area to meet up with the meeting party. After verifying photo identification, the unaccompanied minor is given over to the person who was designated to meet the child at the destination.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: When Flights Cancel due to Wea

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

When Flights Cancel due to Wea Nov 23rd 2011, 10:04 Hurricanes, blizzards, fog and floods. Just a few of the weather elements that can lead to your flight being canceled. When flights cancel due to adverse weather, airlines usually have a policy set up for passengers. When you see that weather is going to affect your travels, what can you expect? Many of the airlines invoke similar policies for dealing with cancellations or delays due to inclement weather. Similar, not always universal, and you may or may not be protected on another flight. Here is a primer on what your airline policy may look like if your flight is cancelled due to weather (check with the airline you are flying with as not all of these possibilities will necessarily apply): Flexible changes to tickets - may be worded along the lines of being able to move your entire itinerary up to seven days before or after the originally scheduled date. Changing your ticket completely - you may be able to apply the full value of your unused ticket toward the purchase of a ticket to a different destination. Change ticket without penalties - usually at least a one time change without fees is permitted, following the same itinerary. Refunds and partial refunds - with really bad weather, where flight schedules are affected by days rather than hours, airlines may offer to refund your unused ticket and sometimes even the unused portion of your ticket if you have begun travel. No hotel or transport - weather related cancellations exempt the airline from compensating passengers. Inclement weather is considered a force majeure or an act of god, and airlines are not required to pay for food / transport / lodging. Exceptions are sometimes made, but should not be expected. A few tips for dealing with weather related cancellations: Call ahead or check online before you go to the airport. If the roads are treacherous, the runways will be too. If you are at the airport when your flight cancels, you can line up to see a gate agent or at the ticket counter, but this may take a really long time. The gate agent may send you to the ticket counter anyhow, or may be required to leave and go to the next flight. If you are at the airport when your flight cancels call the reservations department immediately. They are the best chance at getting something rebooked for you. If you are at the airport when your flight cancels check both departure and arrival screens. Chances are if flights later than yours are not operating, a later rebooked flight on the same day may end up cancelling. Checking the arrival board will give you an idea of whether enough airplanes are coming in to actually turn around and operate as another flight. If you are at the airport when your flight cancels, and you are a connecting passenger, ask the gate agent if you should head to the ticket counter or if there is a desk for connecting passengers. Although not obligated, many airlines will take care of passengers who are in transit, particularly if the weather delays/cancellations were not foreseen or advised of when you began your journey. Checking the weather at your destination may give you an indication of whether a flight can even fly.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Preferred Seating - Emergency

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Preferred Seating - Emergency Nov 23rd 2011, 10:04 Although not all airlines restrict the booking of exit row seating be forewarned - if you or someone you are traveling with falls under the restrictions placed on the emergency exit rows, you/they will be reseated. The inflight crew will not ignore safety procedures, which certainly does include whether a passenger should or shouldn't be seated in the exit row. So what passengers may be barred from being seated in an emergency exit row? Children under 12 (sometimes up to 15) years old Unaccompanied minors Infants Passengers with any physical or mental limitations that may affect a passenger's ability to perform the functions required to remove the door and/or clear the path in the case of an emergency Passengers traveling with a pet or service animal Passengers who do not feel comfortable with the idea of performing the necessary duties in the case of an emergency Passengers who do not speak any of the languages used by the crew on board (passengers in the exit row need to be able to understand safety instructions in the case of an emergency) Passengers who have requested additional assistance from the airline, whether it be assistance to or from the aircraft, additional assistance on board, etc. The extra legroom can almost make you forget that your elbows are snuggly planted against your rib cage, but the emergency exit row comes with restrictions. Make sure that you do not fall under those restrictions when you secure a seat in order to avoid the disappointment or frustration of being reseated.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Paper Vs. Electronic Tickets

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Paper Vs. Electronic Tickets Nov 23rd 2011, 10:04 There are two types of tickets that you'll encounter when using an airline, namely the paper ticket and the electronic ticket (also known as ticket-less travel). Paper tickets are quickly being painted with dinosaur strokes - they somehow seem less current. Before weighing in on such perceptions, it is important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of tickets. Paper tickets are so named because the flight coupons (the pieces of paper that contain the exact flight information and are labeled as flight coupons) are in paper form. With an electronic ticket, this information is held within the airline's reservation system, and is indicated as electronic tickets when you check in. The passenger traveling on an electronic ticket is given a copy of the itinerary, and the contract of carriage. These documents are not a ticket but serve as an indication that you have an electronic one. With an electronic ticket, you do not have the physical ticket in hand. Knowing that paper and electronic tickets are different isn't really enough though; it is important to know what the positives and negatives are as well. Paper tickets are particularly useful if your flight is canceled because of a mechanical or another airline-related problem as opposed to a weather issue. Certainly if a cancellation is weather related, you are stuck. However, if it isn't and you have a paper ticket, you may have a world of options that you possibly haven't considered. If you have a paper ticket on a major airline and are flying out of an airport where another major airline also flies to your destination, having a paper ticket can serve to your advantage. If your flight is canceled, you can ask an agent at another airline whether they will accept your ticket (more difficult to do if there is more than one terminal that airlines fly from to your destination). Often the other airline will, and you are now ahead of those on electronic tickets. You see, with an electronic ticket, because you do not have a physical ticket, you are more at the mercy of the airline you are booked on. And in the case of a non-weather related cancellation, you will be put on the next available flight on that same airline, even if it is hours later. Paper tickets can also be advantageous in situations that don't involve cancellations. Let's say that you are checking the schedules to your destination and discover a more convenient time on another airline. With a paper ticket, you may just be able to switch airlines, particularly if it is a domestic ticket (and not on a charter airline). If it is an international destination, don't bother, as the rules of international tickets vary a great deal, whereas domestic ones are often incredibly similar. I'll demonstrate by example. A very unspoken rule at a major airline was to accept tickets from other airlines if the passengers showed up at check in. It was a large airport with numerous terminals, and a number of airlines served the exact same route. So agents were instructed to scoop the passenger, which meant accepting the passenger's ticket from another airline and taking (scooping) some of the other airline's profit. This does not occur on a consistent level at every airport, but it does happen and could serve to your benefit if you have a paper ticket.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Face Massage Techniques

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Face Massage Techniques Nov 22nd 2011, 10:01 It is not uncommon to feel stuffed up during a flight, so this part of the massage targets the sinuses on either side of your nose. Keep your head upright and centered. Use your thumbs for this exercise. You turn your hands outward, palms facing away from you. Place your thumbs at either side of the nose, beside the flares, where you feel a slight depression. Gently push in with your thumbs. You drag your thumbs across the sinuses as outlined by the red lines in the illustration, and maintain an even pressure throughout. Keep your thumbs on the face for the entire motion. While pulling your thumbs slowly across the maxillary sinuses (named for their location on the face, essentially the cheek bones) you may feel them clear a little or drain. This motion should be done very slowly and take you at least 15 - 20 seconds. Count quietly if you need to. Repeat several times if you wish. To encourage drainage if one side feels more clogged than the other, gently tilt your head towards the side that feels less full. So if my left maxillary sinus seems more clogged up, I may even repeat this massage stroke after I have already done it on both sides. In this case I would tilt my head slightly down to the right to promote drainage of the left, and would only do the massage stroke along the left side. All illustrations are copyright Arlene Fleming

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Airport and Airplane movies...

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Airport and Airplane movies... Nov 20th 2011, 10:01 According to many movies made about airports and airplanes, a disaster is always waiting in the wings. Thankfully, day to day workings in the airlines are far less dramatic. Here are a few of the cinematic interpretations of airports and airplanes for those interested in the drama or thriller genres. The original (or if not, the widely watched!) air disaster movie. This is the movie that helped spawn a generation of spoofs, namely the 'Airplane' series. Dean Martin stars as a pilot. This often overlooked movie with Jimmy Stewart has him star as an engineer who is sent to examine the wreckage of a new airplane designed by the company he works for. Halle Berry and Kurt Russell star in this film involving an airplane being hijacked and the ensuing plan to overcome the terrorist threat in the air. An executive's flight is delayed. During the course of the delay he encounters a man who is trying to return home to attend an important event for his son. The executive (Ben Affleck) switches his ticket with him when flights start up again, so that the man may be there for his son. The plane crashes, and a guilt-ridden Ben Affleck seeks out the widow of the man, and falls in love. After surviving a horrific plane crash Max Klein is changed.

Low Cost, Budget Airlines NA Nov 19th 2011, 10:01 A number of low cost airlines have sprung up in North America as an alternative to mainstream, long-established airlines. As services decrease on the traditional, scheduled carriers, these low cost options seem even more attractive. This is the low cost airline that other airlines - both legacy carriers and other low cost airlines - often try to emulate. Southwest Airlines is not just known for great fares, but for customer service. This Canadian low cost airline flies across Canada, to the United States and now to points in the Caribbean. Westjet is also loosely allied with Southwest Airlines. AirTran is a low cost airline that serves dozens of US markets. JetBlue continues to be well-ranked among US airlines for customer service, as well as having a broad range of routes across the United States and the Caribbean. In its short tenure as an airline, Virgin America is known for its innovation with WiFi, and inflight options, and for good customer service. Spirit Airlines has been likened to Europe`s Ryanair as not just a low cost airline, but no frills one as well. Air Transat is one of Canada's charter airlines serving sun destinations and Europe. Frontier Airlines has its main hub in Denver and serves several cities in the United States. Sun Country is based in Minnesota with several destinations in the United States, and flies to Mexico. This charter airline travels from cities in Canada to Southern destinations.
