'Game Changer' 787 -- But Whose Game?
Boeing's new 787 finally carried its first passengers, and the aviation industry has called the 787 a 'game changer' aircraft. But what part of the 'game' changes for you as a passenger?

Private Enterprise Should Lead on Air Travel Innovation, Not FAA
Wouldn't it be smarter for the FAA to set tough regulatory parameters to ensure safety, noise levels, controller training and the like and then get out of the way?
Customers Hate Airlines -- Who Knew?
Airlines earn lousy grades for customer service. If that surprises you, you must have just arrived from another planet. Airlines are near the top of just about everybody's 'hate' list, and for good reason. That fact, in itself, doesn't help you much in deciding which airline to take on your next trip. But it may provide some useful clues about the future
KLM To Power European Flights With Used Cooking Oil
Dutch carrier KLM is set to begin using used cooking oil for some of its flights. The announcement comes less than two years after the airline flew the first biokerosene-fueled passenger flight in Europe
TSA Makes About-Face On Child Patdowns
The Transportation Security Agency has revised its rules on patting down children, two months after it sparked international outrage by frisking a 6-year-old girl and defending the actions of its security personnel
Boeing Takes Big Orders At Paris Air Show
Boeing is feeling the love at Le Bourget as it announced dozens of orders for new commercial passenger aircraft during the Paris Air Show
Is It Any Wonder When Airline Passengers Go Berserk?
Let's face it. The airlines have slowly, systematically, created a tinderbox environment for their customers, one that gets more and more heated as time goes on.
Best Travel Companies to Work For
If you'd like travel to be part of your work, consider trying to snag a job at Southwest Airlines or Virgin America. Those companies rank at the top of a new list of best travel-related employers compiled by career website Glassdoor. The ranking is based on evaluations by employees who work at those companies. Here's Glassdoor's full list of top travel companies to work for
If you're heading for Europe this summer -- which many of you will do despite high airfares -- you should know that you have quite a few 'rights,' including some that are better than those you enjoy here at home.
Airline Rules Were Meant to Be Broken By Elites
You don't have to fly frequently to know the airline industry has some of the most ridiculous rules in the travel business. But if you fly enough, you may not have to follow all of them
The Truth About 'Hidden' Airline Fees
Just how hidden are the travel industry's so-called hidden fees? Fair question, given that the Transportation Department just weighed in on the topic
'Rule 240' is the provision in airline contracts that specifies what an airline will and will not do if your flight is delayed and/or canceled. Current provisions are weaker than they were before deregulation, but they never totally went away, and some folks are now trying to revive the rule to full strength
Frontier Airlines Lowers Change Fees
Add Frontier to the very short list of U.S. airlines that are trying not to gouge you to the maximum with fees. It dropped the fee to exchange a nonrefundable fare from $100 to $50 per ticket, dropped the fee for same-day itinerary changes on refundable tickets from $50 to $25 with no fare adjustment, and slightly dropped its checked baggage fees
AirTran edged Hawaiian out of the top spot in this year's annual 'Airline Quality Rating' (AQR) scores. And the combined quality score for the country's 16 largest airlines again crept up a bit over the previous year. Nevertheless -- although AQR doesn't indicate it -- airline travel remains a miserable experience most of the time. Here's why
When the Fuel Surcharge Costs More Than the Ticket
When Walter Nissen signed up for a British Airways Chase Visa card recently, he thought he'd be jetting off to London after earning just 50,000 miles. He overlooked one little detail: A glance at the fine print revealed he'd have to pay an extra $400 in fuel surcharges
Indexed Airfares: Deception or Deal?
How'd you like your next air ticket to include a bet on the price of oil? That's an idea that Allegiant floated in a recent filing with the DOT. You buy a ticket at a price posted for the day you buy. Then, if oil prices go up between the day you buy and the day you fly, you pay more; if oil prices drop, you pay less. Oddly enough, it could work, but I see plenty of ways it could go wrong
TSA Screenings Prompt Cries of Police-State Tactics
Police state. It's being thrown about a lot more since November's pat-down/opt-out fiasco, as public anger over the TSA's new security measures remains high. Which makes the question of whether we're traveling in a police state, or something like it, worth taking seriously
US Airways Closes a Loophole But Opens a Can of Worms
At the beginning of the month, US Airways quietly added a new fee: Passengers who book a ticket through a travel agent but call the airline directly to make a change to their itinerary will now have to pay another $25 to speak with a phone agent. They were exempt from the fee before. What was US Airways up to?
Will This Be the Year for Passenger Rights?
The travel industry doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation for keeping its promises. That's true not just of the low-price guarantees. It also applies to something as seemingly straightforward as an airline sticking to its published schedule. So travelers might be forgiven for having been a little skeptical last year. So, will things improve this year? Here's Christopher's take
Delta Drops Mileage Expiration
Delta Airlines announced that miles accrued in its SkyMiles frequent flyer program will not expire, regardless of account activity. As far as I know, Delta's is the only big U.S. airline's program where miles do not expire
Delta Airlines Opts for Semi-Premium Economy
Delta Airlines is adding a semi-premium economy section in planes it uses for international flights. The new Economy Comfort section will provide up to four additional inches of legroom and greater recline than regular economy. Delta will complete the installation of the new configuration in the first few rows of the economy cabins
'Easier' Frequent Flyer Seats? Yes -- and No!
United says finding its 'all-new Saver Award page' makes it 'easier than ever' to find Saver Awards. Yes, it's easier to see what's available. But no, it's not any easier to get the seats you want. American also posts an online page that highlight routes where you're likely to find seats, with the same inherent problem
Orbitz vs. American Airlines: the Traveler is the Loser
Maybe you've heard about the little dust-up between American Airlines and several online travel agencies, including Orbitz and Expedia. Maybe you've noticed that when you go fare-shopping on those travel sites, you aren't offered any American flights. Here's what happened
Does the Secure Flight Program Mean More Money For Airlines?
Small discrepancies between the name on a ticket and a passenger's driver's license or passport used to be shrugged off by airlines and airport screeners. But under the Transportation Security Administration's Secure Flight program, the name on a ticket and on an ID must match exactly. If they don't, you could be delayed or prevented from flying
Southwest's New Frequent Flyer Program
'Great for business travelers,' seems to be the trade's reaction to Southwest's new frequent flyer program, but it's not bad for consumers, either. Here's my take on the new program that will come into effect
To get a gauge on how close we really are to commercial gridlock in the Milky Way, check out Branson's Virgin Galactic, which plans to start launching tourists into space beginning next year! The first vessel, SpaceShipTwo, will take off and land at Spaceport America, his recently constructed 2-mile-runway in the New Mexico desert -- the world's first commercial spacecraft center
Heightened TSA Security Is Necessary to Keep Us Safe
The Transportation Security Administration's new airport screening procedures -- body scanning machines and enhanced pat-downs -- are justified in the context of our unfortunate reality
TSA Has Its Security Priorities in the Wrong Place
There is absolutely nothing wrong with full-body scanners. In fact, the more we innovate and introduce new security technologies, the more we can stay one step ahead of terrorists. But there are major problems with the way the Department of Homeland Security, through the Transportation Security Administration, is handling security at airports
Who Had the Worst Customer Service in 2010?
The U.S. airline industry, which has an unenviable record of failing practically every customer-service survey for the last generation, has a new rival: The Transportation Security Administration
In 2010, the DOT Heard Our SOS
It turns out that all the negative things that happened to air travelers in 2010 -- invasive body scans, multiplying fees, erupting volcanoes -- were offset by at least one positive change: an increasingly passenger-friendly Transportation Department.
Air New Zealand's 777-300LR - A Look at the Future?
Air New Zealand (ANZ) wins its share of 'awards' for good service, but, this year, it should also win an award for chutzpah. In announcing a completely redesigned cabin for its long-range 777s. Its new design may well be a portent of things to come for international flights, generally. And the news isn't good for economy class travelers
Passengers Say They Miss Luggage-Inclusive Airfares the Most
It's been more than two years since most major airlines 'unbundled' their fares and began charging passengers for the first checked bag. And although air travelers are now paying more for their luggage than ever -- $2.7 billion last year, compared with just $1.1 billion in 2008 -- they are deeply unhappy about it
Airline Stocks Take Off in 2010
The skies are always turbulent for investors in airline stocks, whether due to oil prices, economic trends, fare wars or labor union issues. Yet 2010 has been the start of something big in terms of financial success, with many airline stocks strong performers. The question is how long surprisingly good times will last
Southwest and AirTran Airlines: Six Things You Need to Know
By now you've read about Southwest Airline's proposal to acquire AirTran. And you've probably even seen at least some writers' views on what it means to consumers and who 'wins' in the deal. Although the situation is fluid, I can already draw up a list of the six important things you need to know
Tarmac-Delay Rules Give Travelers More Respect
Only in reviewing the effectiveness of the new tarmac-delay rule has the real problem -- and the solution -- become apparent. It wasn't these isolated but maddening delays, but how airlines regarded them, that became troublesome.
New Airline Tie-Ups: What Consumers Need to Know
American Airlines, British Airways, and Iberia just announced their new 'joint business' deal. Let's take a closer look at how the AA/BA/Iberia deal is likely to affect consumers
The Continental - United Merger: What's New
Although the merger partners have been lavish with claims about 'global reach,' most of the attention on the merger has been on financials and management structure. The merging lines have had little to say about details that matter most to customers
Air Travelers Let Your Voices Be Heard
The federal government is giving travelers an extra month to comment on proposed new consumer rules for airline passengers.
Steven Slater Airline Meltdown Hardly a Surprise
In the case of JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater who went ballistic recently, had a 'take this job and shove it' moment, then grabbed a beer, pulled the chute and went slip-sliding away, the only question I have is this: Why didn't the passengers follow him?
If It's Called Secure Flight, Why Do I Feel So Insecure?
You probably know Secure Flight as the pesky requirement that the name on your passport or driver's license be an exact match with the name on your airline ticket. But the program is much more than that. With the extra passenger data, the agency promises to improve the travel experience for all airline passengers. I think it's worth asking how the data is being used
Ticket? Check. Bag? Check. Insurance? Pre-check
Forcing travelers to opt out of a purchase when they're buying a ticket or a hotel room isn't new. But the volume of complaints I've received about pre-checking is on the rise, as is the number of well-known travel companies engaged in this questionable e-commerce practice
Airline Alliances: Benefit or Plague?
You hear a lot about alliances among the world's giant airlines these days. Many industry financial analysts claim that they're necessary for the older 'legacy' lines to survive in a world increasingly driven by low-cost competitors. And consumer advocates say they're thinly disguised attempts to stifle competition and hike prices. Who's right? In my view, all of them are partly right
Flying to Europe? It Pays to Know EU 261
EU 261 is a five-year-old law that establishes common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights.
When Finding the 'Best' Airport Matters
I've sometimes scoffed at those surveys that rank the 'best' airports -- after all, if I'm headed to Portland, what do I care if the Portland airport scores below Hong Kong? There are times, however, when choosing an airport matters
Airline Round-up: Re-Bundling Satisfaction
American Airlines is the latest convert to the airlines' current gimmick du jour: new 'bundles' of formerly 'free' features that it thinks it can sell you. Similar deals are available from two other big lines
Airline Fees: The $7.8 Billion Question
It's a wildly successful scheme: Domestic airlines collected an astounding $7.8 billion in ancillary fees last year, up 42 percent from 2008, while keeping their base fares artificially low. (Legacy airlines still managed to lose $2.8 billion, somehow.) But passengers are confused and angry about being nickel-and-dimed. Finally, help is on the way
New Airline Bumping Rules Less Than What They Seem
'Bumping' is the popular name for what airlines call 'denied boarding' or inability to honor a firm reservation. Airlines bump travelers for several reasons, most often 'overbooking' to offset inevitable no-shows. About the only time you'll benefit from the new limits is on a long intercontinental flight. Other proposed changes will help you more in the real world
Confessions of a Frequent-Flier Program Skeptic
Call me a frequent-flier program skeptic. I take a dim view of any scheme that promises you the world in exchange for all your business. Not that I don't like sitting in first class, staying in a suite or being treated like a movie star. I mean, who doesn't? Having covered the travel industry for most of my career, I just don't believe in 'win-win' propositions. Here's why
Airlines Annoyances -- Can You Avoid Them?
The biggest gripe among airline travelers today is luggage charges. An interesting take is to see who is responsible for the various gripes. Out of the top 12 tabulated annoyances, nine are fully or partially the direct result of airline policies and practices
Frequent Flyer Payout -- Great to Lousy
How likely are you to find a 'free' seat with your miles when and where you want to go? That depends, says a recent study, on the airline you fly. Among the 22 programs in the study, the range of success rates runs from 'almost every time' to 'hardly ever.' The following results provide some useful conclusions and guidance
Continental - United Airlines Merger: the Consumer View
By now you've seen the news that Continental and United airlines have agreed to merge. This isn't a done deal yet as this merger will get a close look by the Departments of Justice and Transportation, and anti-trust concerns could derail it. But most industry mavens believe the climate is right for this merger. And, I'd bet that the fallout for consumers will be more negative than positive
Will the United - Continental Merger Raise Airfares
If regulators approve the merger of United Airlines and Continental Airlines, it will create the world's largest carrier. Although it's early, many experts agree that there will probably be a push for higher fares.
Air Travel: Buying Extra Legroom
If you don't want to pay the exorbitant price for a first-class ticket, your only chance to avoid the bone-crunching crowding of the airlines' coach/economy cabins is to wangle a coach seat with extra legroom. Rather than dole out those choice seats first come, first served, more and more airlines have taken to selling access to them.
Low Airfares That Vanish in a Click
When you find a fare online, it isn't actually there -- it's cached on the site. Caching, or storing a copy of the fare information, is cheaper and makes everything run faster. But there's a price to be paid for the speed and convenience: A small number of fares -- usually less than 5 percent -- may no longer be available when you try to book them.
Good Airline Fees? Some Are Worth the Money
This isn't another story about airlines and their misguided fees. It's about the surcharges that are worth paying -- and why you should consider saying, 'yes' to them. That's right, I said 'worth it.' While many fees are outrageous, some aren't entirely out of line.
Improved DOT 'Air Consumer' Website
The U.S. Department of Transportation's recently updated 'Aviation Consumer Protection and Enforcement' Website provides easy access to information available on your 'rights' as an air passenger. And although the content is generally the same as before, it's more accessible. Of the six main options in the opening menu, three are of greatest use to most travelers.
Airfare Deals: Look for the 'Secret' Code
In an ongoing effort to keep you tied to their own booking sites, some of the big airlines give out special promotional codes for fare deals they don't advertise openly. These deals aren't available at all to the general public, and especially not to those 'aggregator' sites that are supposed to search everywhere for the lowest fares.
Hotel Fees That Must Die and How to Kill Them
Resort fees. Mandatory tips. Concierge surcharges. If you've stayed at a hotel in the last few years, you've become accustomed -- if not anesthetized -- to these annoying extras. You expect them. You're indifferent to them when they appear on your bill. You shouldn't be.
Should Airlines Honor Fares That Are Obvious Mistakes
I've run across travelers who feel that a company should honor any fare error, no matter how outrageous, and who don't think twice about booking blocks of rooms or several tickets at a wrong price. Not only do I find that ethically problematic, but it also makes matters more difficult for passengers
'People Movers' Ease Airport Hassles
Dulles inaugurated its new billion-dollar 'people mover,' and it should make life a lot easier for you whether you live in the area, visit the area, or have to change planes there. Dulles joins a number of other airports around the United States -- and the world -- that offer an easier and more convenient alternative to trekking through endless corridors or schlepping on and off buses
'Couches' in Economy Class -- For Real
Air New Zealand generated a lot of ink (and pixels) with the announcement that it was installing 'Skycouches' in a few rows of seats in the economy cabins of its long-haul 777s. Couches -- really? Yes, starting later this year, the line really will be offering a sort of flat seating option, but it will be a far cry from what most of us would consider lie-down seating.
Canceled Flight ... So Where's My Refund
I recently booked a flight through Expedia from Orlando to Hyderabad, India. The flights were on Continental Airlines and Jet Airways. After I made the reservation and received a confirmation, I got an e-mail from Expedia that one leg of my flight had been canceled. I have been trying to get a refund for that canceled flight since then
5 Easy Ways to Avoid a la Carte Anarchy When You Fly
It used to be so simple: The price you were quoted for an airline ticket, rental car or cruise used to be the price you actually paid. Ah, the good old days. Today, the rate you're given is almost never the final price. It's considerably more.
Transportation Department Steps Up Efforts in Aviation Consumer Protection
Aviation consumer protection is a top priority for Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. And air travelers are impressed with the 'new' Department of Transportation, which, if you listen to the buzz, appears to be protecting consumers for the first time in years.
Flying Under the Influence of the TSA
I won't insult you by repeating the obvious advice being dispensed by the so-called experts, such as arriving at the airport early or packing light. Instead, I'd like to take a longer view on traveling while under the influence of the TSA. Assuming that only half of the awful things people are saying about the agency are true, how do you fly?
Kenneth Miller's Delta SkyMiles are gone -- all 101,000 of them, and without so much as a warning. They were never supposed to expire, but the airline changed its rules without telling him. Does he have any chance of getting them back?
Flying in the Snow: 6 Lessons for Coping With Winter-Weather Delays
Winter is only starting, and when bad weather moves in, your flight schedule isn't worth the paper it's printed on. What to do when your flight is delayed or cancelled due to winter weather
Gifts From Above: 7 Presents We Wish Airlines Would Give Us
The airline industry is a popular target. The University of Michigan's authoritative American Customer Satisfaction Index gives the overall industry a failing grade of 64. Here's seven ways airlines can improve service and their image
TSA to Conduct Full Review After Sensitive Information Leak
TSA officials say that a full review is underway to determine how a 2008 copy of its standard operating procedures for all airport security checkpoints was released in its entirety on the Internet.
Washington Trade Groups Want Their Piece of Pie in the Sky
No one would claim that any of the new travel-related laws scheduled to take effect in 2010 are game-changers for travelers. They're relatively minor. An overwhelming majority of the organizations I spoke with said that reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration would be in our best interests.
Frequent Flyer Miles: Currency, not Loyalty
Frequent flyer miles no longer have much if anything to do with loyalty: Instead, they've become a strange sort of currency that you don't really own and has value that is at the whim of the airline. Unless you fly a lot, it's time to re-think your frequent flyer plans.
New Airline Ideas, Good and Bad
Not all airline ideas are bad -- every once in a while, an airline comes up with something that actually helps consumers. On the other hand, the bad ones keep coming, as well, and, as I've noted before about the airline business, nothing gets copied faster then a bad idea.
