Allowing Cellphones In-Flight Would Make Air Travel Even Worse
Peter DeFazio
With airline customer satisfaction at an all-time low, this is not the moment to consider making airplane travel even more torturous by allowing in-flight cellphone conversations. After arriving hours early at the airport and often after waiting for a delayed, or even canceled, flight, what could make air travel worse?
If Europe Can Handle In-Flight Cellphone Use, So Can America
Carl Biersack
Despite predictions that in-flight cellphone usage would lead to Armageddon, the global rollout has been just the opposite. In 20 months of global usage, there has not been one reported incident or problem. In fact, 93 percent of passengers who flew on an in-flight communication-equipped aircraft want all jets so equipped. So why not U.S. carriers?
Airfares via Twitter
United, JetBlue Offer Twitter Airfare Deals
Ed Perkins
Airfares by Twitter - the latest gimmick. As if you didn't already have enough different places to look for airfare deals, United and Jet Blue have added yet another base to touch. And their new Twitter products - United's 'Tware' and JetBlue's 'Cheeps' airfares - offer another way to find good deals.
Pet Airways
Pet Airways - Flying with Fido and Fifi
Ed Perkins
All the recent publicity about the start of Pet Airways raises the question of exactly how to transport pets when you're flying. My basic advice -- as a dog owner for nearly 40 years -- is, 'Unless you can't avoid it, don't.' But you sometimes can't avoid it, so here are your options.
WiFi - The 'Next Big Thing' in Air Travel
Ed Perkins
Onboard WiFi is the new 'hot' feature. Settle into your seat, open your laptop, notebook computer or high-tech phone, and spend the remaining flight hours sorting your email, keeping up with the news and most of the other things you do online. That's an increasingly likely scenario as the domestic airlines scramble to find 'value added' features for their dreary and uncomfortable coach product -- especially features that bring in more revenue
What's Going on with the Airlines
Ed Perkins on Travel
The combination of a lousy economy, increasing fuel prices, and intense competition is creating unprecedented turmoil in the airline marketplace. Although no single event warrants a full column, several are important enough to cover.
