Air Travel
Chest, meet your knees. Stomach, welcome to the world of hunger. Hips,
meet the sides of the seat. Welcome to modern air travel!  If you
are a seasoned air traveler, you may be aware of most of the following hints and tips, but the industry is always
changing, so it helps to keep up to date. Those more occasional air travelers will find that most of these hints
will help to ease the frustrations that so often accompany air travel.
If you are over the age of 40, you can probably remember when traveling by air was a much different experience
than it is today. Planes were not only much smaller, they usually flew with many more empty seats. The term "leg
room" was not an oxymoron. "Food service" meant more than a bag of peanuts and a soft drink.
So how do you combat this situation? You "get even" by making certain that you get the best air fare
available. We are all willing to put up with just a bit more when our ticket costs $350 instead of $1100!

Deregulation and the modern competitive state of the airline
industry have fueled the changes that have occurred over the years. To a large degree, what you see now is what
you are going to get in the future. Although many airlines have made commitments to enhanced customer satisfaction--more
spacious cabins and better check-in processes--it will never be the way it was in, say, 1975. And that is not all
a bad thing. Planes being built today are faster, more technologically advanced and safer than they were 25 years
ago. So, when it comes to air travel, you take the bad with the good and learn to cope. Hints and tips on coping with modern air travel.
