With more passengers, fewer flights and crowded planes, it’s no fun flying
Overbooked flights. Skimpy legroom. Storage bins packed to the max. After 17 years of weekly business travel, David Bewley couldn’t stand the hassle anymore and quit his job as a franchise business consultant (www.kansascity.com) Más...The best way to deal with this is to fined other cheaper budget carriers who fly within the USA they don"t have to b American to fly them sooner or later the major carriers see this and get worried. Take Lifthansa real rip off"s in airfares that's a major contender her in the. USA
sadly true... yep, I'm 68 and remember them well
no tradition of train travel in most of US...Europe/Asia different - the've always ridden in trains - East corridor an exception to the rest of US
ironically trains perform best for trips under 500 miles, while the airlines are sick of any flight under 500 miles (and they don't help all the congestion baseside, either): they fit nicely together
Sad part is, that is how hey should have structured it in 1971 or pre AMTRAK, before the advent of he regional airlines and traced into the downtowns and out to the hubs. That would have put more money into the hubs as well as all would have been O&D traffic to/from there./
The strange thing is I can wriggle into the seat of a C152, and fly for two hours and feel wonderful the whole way. No TSA makes for a great trip.
I wish more places had outbound luggage service like Hong Kong. You turn in your bags at the train station and you don't see them again until your destination. I wish there were more hotels like Disney World where you turn in your bags at the beginning of your flight and they magically appear in your hotel room.
I loved it when First was only 50% more than coach. Today's nonsense where economy is $800 and First is $10,000 is crazy.
I want my 70's back!
