Flight And Plane Manners Tips

Plane Manners



Excuse me

"I have the bladder of a frightened toad, so I reserve aisle seats instead of window because I hate to ask people to move for me, especially if they're sleeping, or climbing all over them," relates Nursophie Muhd Zin, 35.

"This is, of course, subject to who is sitting next to me. If it's Adrian Brody I'd climb all day long."

While it may be tempting to climb over your seat-mate while he's sleeping, you risk straddling him if he wakes up, cautions Lee.

"The seats are simply too close. Just give him a little nudge and ask him to move so you can scoot by. And, don't forget to apologise for disrupting his or her sleep."

The armrest hogger

"The armrest should go back and forth between you and your seat-mate. If you feel as if it is being hogged, stake your claim while your neighbour is using the bathroom and hold your position when he returns," opines Lee.

"If that doesn't work, I would suggest you politely ask: 'Excuse me, would you mind shifting your elbows a little to allow some space for me?' That should put the armrest bandit in his place."

Space invader

You are cruising at an altitude of 25,000ft. To your right, swirls of clouds. To your left, a guy who's boring his elbow into your ribs. So how do you maintain personal space on board?

"Nobody wants body contact on a flight, unless it's your significant other. Compact yourself a little - keep those forearms in your own space and those knees in front of you," Lee recommends.

Carry-on conduct

"Hold your bag in front of you and low to the ground as you walk down the aisle in search of your seat. Holding it up and at your sides will inevitably knock seated passengers on their arms, shoulders and heads," says Lee.

Just for kicks

It's migraine-inducing to have your seat kicked by an excited toddler while mum and dad think it's cute that their little precious is keeping himself occupied. Letting out an exasperated sigh or giving the parents a dirty look may go unnoticed, so what's left to do?

"You may consider asking the parents to switch seats. If this doesn't work, ask a flight attendant to handle the situation."

Walking down the aisle

The seat in front of you is not a third leg when getting out of your seat.

"When you get up, use the seat armrests. Yanking the seat in front of you can be unpleasant for the person sitting in it. Copy how the flight attendants balance themselves in the aisle by grabbing the luggage compartments above their heads, rather than the seat backs," Lee advises.

To recline or not?

Although reclining your seat is technically your right, just like humming, exercising it to the limit will make those around you think you're an idiot.

"Poke your head around and ask if it's OK. If the person is tall, or has a child on their lap, try keeping your seat upright out of consideration, especially if it is a short flight," Lee suggests.

"When you do recline your seat, do it slowly to give the person behind you time to react. Otherwise, you risk bumping the head of the unsuspecting passenger behind you, who may be getting something from the bag at her feet."

Snoozing over schmoozing

There is nothing worse than being held captive by a talkative seat mate.

"At times I just don't feel like being chatty, but don't want to seem rude, so I bitterly partake in shallow conversations when what I really want to do is sleep," laments Rahayu Samsuddin, 27, a student.

A strong signal if you don't feel like talking? "Headphones," suggests Lee. "That should shut him up immediately."

Getting off

When the aircraft lands, there are people who jump onto the aisle as soon as the seatbelt light blinks off.

"Resist the urge to push your way through," says Lee. "Let those nearest the exit get off first. You will get off the plane eventually, I promise."

Now do read, Hotel Manners And Etiquette, which is a must read to ensure that you enjoy you holiday and sleep while travelling!

Flight Delays and what you should know

Author: angela

http://www.airlinepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/airport-delays.jpg

Dear travelers & vacationers flight delays, flight cancellation, flight overbooked, weather delay among others are the words that you don't want to hear! We all wish these wouldn't happen to us, but in reality none of us are exempt. Therefore here are some important points to take into consideration just in case.

Flight Delays and What you need to know

Most definitely one of the most common aggravations affecting air travelers are flight delays. There are, however, some measures you can take to minimize the risk.

  1. 1. Avoid airlines and flights where delays are common.

    Large airlines keep track of their on-time performance on a flight-by-flight basis, and many list their performance rates online, although they may be a bit difficult to find. If you cannot find the on-time performance on the airline's web site, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics keeps track of a myriad of performance statistics. With just the flight number and airline, you can easily check numbers of delays, average delay, taxi-in times and taxi-out times for a specified date range.

  2. Arrange flight notifications.

    Many travel booking web sites (such as Expedia) and airline sites offer free flight notifications that can be sent to your mobile phone or e-mail. These notifications offer information such as flight delays, departure gate assignments and gate changes. Conceivably, this could save you lots of time, but in actuality, they seem to be only marginally effective. Airlines often wait until the last minute to announce a delay, so you may not be notified until you arrive at the airport.

  3. Avoid connecting flights if possible.

    The greatest impact of flight delays is when they cause you to miss a connecting flight. If you can't schedule a non-stop flight, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics can also help you determine which airports are problematic

    If you must choose a connecting flight, make sure you build in enough time between flights to accommodate a delay. If you arrive early and your luggage is all carry-on, you may be able to fly standby on the earlier flight and still be guaranteed a seat on the later flight. If your original flight is more heavily booked, the airline will be happy to put you on the earlier flight.

  4. Avoid the last flight of the day.

    If you are on the last flight out and it is canceled, your options become not which flight will be best but whether you'll be sleeping in the airport or at a local hotel. Whenever possible, pick a flight that leaves an hour or two before the last flight of the day. In a pinch, you might be able to get on the other flight (this is really only a viable option if you have not checked bags on the original flight).

  5. Arrive early and check in.

    The less time a passenger allows, the greater the risk of lost or delayed luggage, seat assignments right next to the lavatory or denied boarding due to overbooking or a missed flight.

  6. Expect delays.

    If your schedule requires you to arrive on time to make your appointment, you're simply asking for trouble. "On-time arrival" is often an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp" or "working vacation." Pad enough time into your schedule so that a flight delay won't impact your business meeting or cruise departure.

How to handle a delay

  1. Keep your cool.

  2. Be polite but firm. Use terms like "Can you help me get to…?" or "Is it possible to put me on another carrier's flight?"Be patient.

  3. A flight delay is generally just that--a delay. Whether due to a delayed incoming flight or mechanical problem, the flight usually takes off, albeit an hour or more late. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, it is not wise to attempt to switch flights. First, there is no guarantee another flight will be any less problematic (especially if the delay is due to weather). If you've checked any bags, you will either be separated from your luggage or not be allowed to switch, since you must fly on the same plane as your bags for security reasons.

  4. Call the reservations center.

  5. When a flight is cancelled, you may find yourself in a long line of fellow travelers awaiting a customer service agent to make alternate flight arrangements. You can avoid all this and use a phone to contact the reservations center directly

  6. Know your rights (or more aptly, your lack of rights).

  7. While new federal guidelines impose limits on how long passengers may be kept onboard a plane while it is parked or taxiing on the tarmac, they do not address situations where passengers have been prevented from boarding due to a delay. Each airline has its own policies about what it will do for delayed passengers waiting at the airport, and they often differ substantially. If you are delayed, ask the airline staff if they will pay for meals or give you a hotel voucher. Some airlines, often those charging very low fares, do not provide any amenities to stranded passengers. Others may not offer amenities if the delay is caused by bad weather or something else beyond the airline's control. Airlines are not required to compensate passengers whose flights are delayed or canceled, and typically provide meal or hotel vouchers only for extenuating circumstances and only on return trips, not the originating outbound flights.

  8. If all else fails, ask to see the customer service agent.

    If you are not getting an acceptable resolution for your problem, ask to see the airline's customer service representative. Often, these are very experienced, former gate agents who have the familiarity and authority to make arrangements that a gate agent may lack, and are usually the only people who can authorize a switch to another airline, hotel vouchers or alternative transportation.

  9. Airline bumping.

    Airlines routinely sell more tickets for a flight than they have seats. This is known as "overbooking" and, contrary to common sense, is not illegal and does help to keep airplane tickets cheaper by attempting to account for the inevitable no-shows on every flight. In cases where the airline overestimates the number of no-shows, the airline must get some passengers to voluntarily give up their seats and/or deny boarding to the late arrivers. Airlines have complete latitude as to what to offer to get passengers to voluntarily give up their seats. These usually take the form of a guaranteed seat on the next flight (which may be the following day) and a voucher for $100 or more off a future ticket. If you're booked on an overbooked flight and have flexible travel plans, feel free to negotiate. It is not uncommon to receive a first- or business-class upgrade on the next flight along with a meal voucher. If you don't like the deal, don't take it.

    If the airline fails to get enough passengers to volunteer to give up their seats, they may deny boarding to some unlucky passengers. If that unlucky passenger is you, then it is helpful to know your rights. For more information regarding your rights, see the Department of Transportation's Fly-Rights A Consumer Guide to Travel.

  10. If you are bumped involuntarily and the airline arranges alternate transportation that is scheduled to get you to your final destination (including later connections) within one hour of your original scheduled arrival time, there is no compensation.

    • If the airline arranges alternate transportation that is scheduled to arrive at your destination between one and two hours after your original arrival time (between one and four hours on international flights), the airline must pay you an amount equal to your one-way fare to your final destination, with a $400 maximum.
    • If the alternate transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (200% of your fare, $800 maximum.)

    You are always permitted to keep your original ticket and use it on another flight. If you choose to make your own arrangements, you can request an "involuntary refund" for the ticket for the flight you were bumped from. The denied boarding compensation is essentially a payment for your inconvenience. Keep in mind that you must meet the airline's requirements for ticketing check-in deadlines. Airlines are free to set their own check-in deadlines which may be as low as 10 minutes or as long as an hour or more before takeoff. These rules do not apply to planes with 60 or fewer seats, international flights to the United States or charter flights. As mentioned earlier, the easiest way to avoid being bumped is getting to the airport early, leaving some other unlucky traveler to be the bumped passenger.

What to Do if You Miss Your Flight

Author: Brian Jenkins

Traveling by airplane is quicker and more efficient than traveling by car, but that does not mean that you will not run into problems. Probably the most common problem, as well as the biggest headache, is a missed flight. A missed flight causes a variety of problems. If it was a connecting flight, you will likely miss all of your connections as well. The airplane has to fly with an empty seat, which they do not like, and, often, your bags will not miss their flight, and will arrive at your destination without you.

What should you do if you miss your flight? The very first thing that you should do is head to the reservation desk. Tell the clerk that you have missed your flight, and do not leave until you have a plan, in writing, for how you will continue your trip. If missing your flight was your own fault, you may expect to pay, if not the full ticket price, then a penalty on a reissued ticket. If you miss your flight because your connecting flight arrived late, the airline will work with you to get you in the air as soon as possible.

In most cases, the airline will put you on the next available flight, with their airline. In some cases, particularly if there is a chance that you can catch a further connection, or the next available flight is not until the next day, the airline may put you on the next available flight with a different airline. Either way, do not leave the area until you know what flight you will be on, and when it departs.

Why Miss a Plane?

One may miss their flight because of a variety of reasons; some cannot be helped while others are just a mistake. It is rare that you miss a plane because of traffic or oversleeping. Most missed flights occur in connecting flights. Often, the layover time between connecting flights is not sufficient to allow the passenger to disembark and find the terminal for his departing flight. Many airports are large, and for someone who does not travel a great deal, can be confusing to navigate. Once they arrive at the correct terminal, they must still go through security.

Another reason for missing connecting flights is if the plane experiences mechanical difficulties. It is common for a plane to sit on the tarmac, passengers on board, while mechanics work to repair a problem on the plane. In this case, the passengers who have a limited amount of layover time may not make their connecting flights. Sometimes, if many of the passengers on board are in danger of missing their connecting flight, the connecting flight may be held, but, as you can imagine, this creates another set of problems on the arrival at the next airport.

Weather is another cause of missed flights. Sometimes a plane is held and not allowed to take off because of lightning or heavy winds. Other times a plane may be held while it is deiced. Even if a plane makes it into the air, strong winds or turbulence can slow the plane down in flight, causing is to arrive behind schedule.

Mechanical problems are clearly the responsibility of the airline, but weather conditions and tight layover scheduling are not, and the airline may be less accommodating of problems relating to weather or scheduling than they are in problems related to mechanical issues.

Where are Your Bags?

While you may have missed your flight, it is unlikely that your bags did. They are probably tucked safely away on your original flight. If your arriving flight was delayed long enough that the connecting flight left before your plane arrived, you may be able to collect your bags, but this is not typically how it happens. People are often in the airport when their flight leaves. If you have departed from your plane, but do not make it through security before your connection leaves, there is a good chance that your bags were transferred and are on your original flight. This is one of the reasons that you should always carry any medication as well as a change of clothes with you in your carry on. While the chances are good that you will be reunited with your bags in the future, that will not make you feel any better when you are sitting in the airport lobby, waiting for dawn and the next flight out.

Minimize Your Chances of Missing Your Flight

The best way to minimize your chance of a missed flight is to allow plenty of time between connecting flights. While no one wants to spend all day in an airport lobby, you should ask the ticket agent for enough time to disembark, visit the restroom and make it to the next terminal. The larger the airport you are flying into, the more time you should allow, as moving from terminal to terminal can take a considerable amount of time. While you cannot control the weather or the mechanics of the plane, you can make sure you have amble time to make your connection.

Africa's Next Big Thing - Cameroon

Author: Travelhouseuk

Cameroon even with all its diversity and beauty has never been considered as a favorite destination by the travelers. Reason of this is the troubled neighborhood of the country, which borders Congo, Chad and Central African Republic. But now as the situation in the bordering nations is improving so are the prospects for the tourism industry of Cameroon. With its palm fringed beaches, the highest mountain peak of West Africa and the vibrant night life of its cities, Cameroon is all set to become the next big thing in the tourism industry of the Region. Many Airlines offer cheap flights to Cameroon.

Yaoundé is the capital of the country while Douala is the largest city of Cameroon and the economic hub of the country. Some direct flights to Yaoundé are available from many airports of Europe but most of the European Airlines fly more frequent direct flights to Douala. British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and Air France are the carriers that you can opt for travelling from Europe and if you are already in the continent of Africa, then take a cheap flight to Douala with Kenya Airways or Ethiopian Airline.Flag of Cameroon

Yaoundé and Douala are a total contrast to each other. Yaoundé is surrounded by trees & hills and there is a sense of tranquility there, Douala on the other hand is a bustling port city with a lot of noise. But Doula is the place you will want to go if you are looking for a lively nightlife.

You can start exploring the country by travelling to Mt. Cameroon the highest peak of the region, whose slopes are always shredded by the mist. It is an active volcano which rises almost straight from the sea level providing a mesmerizing scene for the beholder. You can trek the peak and even camp on and around the Mt. Cameroon.

For enjoying a relaxing vacation on the white beaches of Cameroon you should head to Kribi. It is a famous beach resort of the country, with palm fringed beaches and turquoise waters. You can find peace here on most of the weekdays as you will have a whole part of the beach for your self. But there is a lot of activity there on weekends as many people head to Kribi to enjoy their weekend. There are many hotels available on the beach and you can choose one that matches your budget.

Parc National de Waza is perhaps the region's best national park and is surely worth visiting for observing wild life of the country especially its elephants. Cameroon is surely a place that will attract a lot of visitors in the coming years.

The Benefits Of Private Jet Empty Legs

Author: Ariel

While chartering a private jet can be a more cost-effective way for business executives to quickly fly from one location to another, it can still become very pricey if the service gets utilized on a regular basis. Therefore, it is always in a company's best interest to find cost-effective ways to allow their executives to use private jets, as this is still the most efficient way to get to any location very quickly. One way in which this is possible is through private jet empty legs. The way in which this works is by purchasing one way charter flights to a specific location. However, keep in mind that these one-way flights are slightly different to the traditional one-way flights that we are used to. In other words, the reason why you are able to get such great discounts is because of the situation that a particular private jet company is in.

For example, if a jet is away from its base headquarters, it will need to fly back with or without passengers, and the way in which aircraft management is able to achieve this without losing too much money is by at least giving their empty seats to business executives at a very low price. This is what is known as private jet empty legs. Another way in which private jet empty legs is utilized is if an aircraft has to reposition itself from the current location it is sitting in to go to a departure point for its next flight. Once again, it would be more cost effective for a private jet to let business executives purchase the seats at a discount price while going to its destination than if it were to go with empty seats. The best way to find private jet empty legs is by utilizing private jet charter brokers that specialize in discount flights such as those, because they will have a wide list of private jet airliners available for you to choose from.

The reason why it is beneficial to use specialized private jet charter brokers is because it will give you more possibility to fly to your specific location. Keep in mind that unlike regular flights, you will be limited to when you can fly to a specific location, because private jet empty legs are not a routine service, but rather, it is a way for airliners to cut their costs while getting back to normal routine. So, if you are able to find a broker that has a large list of discounted prices such as this, it becomes easier to find a discounted price on your specific destination. So, the next time you look for ways to cut costs on flying, you might want to take a look at the idea of empty legs.

Private Jet Charter – Tips to Ensure a Safe Flight

Author: Denise Wilson, Desert Jet

When choosing a private jet charter company for your next flight, there are several questions you should ask to ensure you are receiving not only the safest flight, but the best value for your money.

What is the experience level of your pilots and how often do they train?

The most important safety component during your private jet charter flight is the experience level of the pilots. To save money, some operators will hire less experienced pilots that meet FAA minimum standards. More experienced pilots cost more money to employ, while a less experienced pilot is willing to work for a lower salary as they "pay dues" and gain experience.

The FAA requires that the pilots for your private jet charter or fractional flight have between 1000 and 1500 hours of flight experience. Many fractional operators, such as Netjets or Avantair, require 2500 hours of flight experience from their pilots. A few jet charter operators just adopt the FAA minimums and only require 1000 hours of experience from their pilots. Some jet charter operators might hire an experienced captain, but place a low time pilot in the right seat. What if the captain became incapacitated during the flight and the low-time copilot had to take over? What if the pilots experienced an emergency they were not both equally prepared to deal with?

The higher-end private jet charter operators that are safety-minded recruit pilots that far exceed these minimum requirements. Best practices in aviation demand that both pilots assigned to your flight have at least 5000 hours of flight experience, with both pilots captain-qualified. Additionally, top notch operators mandate their pilots attend simulator-based emergency training, such as provided by FlightSafety International and CAE Simuflite, at least twice per year.

What is your safety record?

The safety record of an operator is the most important factor in choosing a private jet charter company. An operator who has been accredited by an independent third party places high importance on safety, and has met a higher operational and safety standard than that regulated by the FAA. You can determine the safety record of the operator in several ways;

1) Call the local office of the Federal Aviation Administration, known as the Flight Standards District Office, and ask if the operator has ever had any accidents or incidents.

2) Request a third party report from Wyvern, the industry leader in aircraft charter operator safety reports. This report, known as the PASS (Pilot and Aircraft Safety Survey), covers the experience level of the pilots, their training currency, and safety data regarding the charter operator and aircraft.

3) Ask the operator what their safety rating is, and if they have had a third party audit of their operations. The main industry auditors are ARG/US, Wyvern, IS-BAO and the Air Charter Safety Foundation. A successful completion of an audit by any one of these organizations is critical to ensure the highest level of safety for your flight.

The right answers to these questions will ensure you have chosen the right private jet charter company for your next charter flight.
