Are the travel benefits of airline employees worth it? I have heard a few mixed things regarding the travel benefits that employees get. I have heard that sometimes it may take you five extra days to get back from somewhere that you went cause there was no room on any of the return flights, is this true? and when it says that you can fly on other airlines for substantially reduced fares.. what does that really mean, and does the same go for cruises and hotel rooms, again they say reduced, but does that just mean 5 or ten bucks?

Question About Giving I-94 Cards to Airline Employee When Traveling Outside of US? I am currently in H1B status, but have an I-94 cards for F-1 status, and that's because I changed from F-1 status to H1B status without leaving the US. So now, my status is H1B, but I still have my F1 I-94 card in my passport, because I have not left the US. Now, I'm traveling abroad for 2 weeks, when I depart: 1) do I give BOTH my F1 I-94 and my H1B I-94 (the lower right portion of my H1B approval notice form)? If I give both, do I need to explain my situation to the airline employee at the check-in desk? 2) who do I give it to? The airline employee at the check-in desk, the security guard at the security checkpoint, the flight attendant at the boarding gate, or the flight attendant on the airplane? 3) My flight has two parts (same airline), first part is US to US, the second part is US to another country. Which part of the flight do I need to give the cards to?

Can an airline employee's standby ticket get upgraded to first class? Is it free? If not how much more $? I know people who work for airline carriers and their dependents fly standby for free.

What is the travel professional's responsibility when travelers don't say what they mean? There are commonly known missued terms in the travel arena that I think travel professionals should be aware enough of that they question travelers when they hear them. For instance, the two most common BY FAR are "direct flight" (which means that the flight number does not change between origin and destination, and which will DEFINITELY make at least 1 intermediate stop-otherwise it's "nonstop") and "adjoining rooms" (which means hotel rooms which are side by side and does not guarantee that an inner door connects them). When a flyer asks for a "direct flight", I think the airline employee or travel agent should ask something like "how many stops are you willing to make or would you like to only look at those with no stops"? And when a hotel guest asks for "adjoining rooms", the reservationist or clerk should ask something like "do you need those rooms to connect"? I think the misunderstanding of these terms causes so many unnecessary complaints. What do you think?

Airline Employees & Codeshares Question? I have a question. I'm curious. As an airline employee, you get certain discounts (like flying standby for a set fee) on your airline. Of course, every discount is different with each airline, but my question is, When you are an employee of say, AA, or United, do you get to use your discount on their codeshares as well? Like, airlines with agreements with your airline. You know how certain airlines dont travel everywhere, but they have connecting partnerships that do. So if you were an employee and wanted to travel from california to Idaho, and your airline only did that through a codeshare, would it be possible to use your employee discount?

What grade of service is expected in domestic air travel? I often see posts complaining about airline travel. Since deregulation in the industry and fierce competition to move people at bargain basement prices; the airlines have worked hard to survive. To do this they downsized, merged, added seats, cut extra services, and employees have also taken cuts in pay and benefits. A first class fare in most instances still get the royal treatment; but cabin class is most likely flying cheaper than bus or train fare. Given this, the flight attendants whom are really there for the safety of the passengers spend a great deal of time seeing to your comfort, waiting on passengers wanting cocktails and watching the kids for Mom and Dad who are so tired from getting everyone to the airport on time have decided to take a two hour nap. The flight crews are professional and do their best to get you to your destination speedily and comfortably all for $99 each way from NY to Disney World. So 1 to 5 stars what do you expect and what is 5 star service these day's?

What age must you be to fly alone? I am turning fifteen a month after I will be flying from Buffalo, NY to Charleston, SC. Most airlines have a policy that children 5-14 must be accompanied by a paid employee of the airline (if traveling alone). If you are 15-17 you are the service is optional.

Does anyone know if I would be able to request to not have the service since I am close to 15? Thanks, any advice is appreciated.

As a flight attendant, what is the best airline to work for? Hello! I would really like to become a flight attendant. I know that the current U.S. economy is poor and that the travel industry has been hurting financially. However, I am wondering. What is the best airline to work for as a flight attendant? Honestly, I am not picky and would gladly work for any airline. I am aware that many airlines are not hiring at the moment. Continuing on, if you are or someone you know is a flight attendant, at which airline are they employed and do they enjoy it? What are their flight benefits? Any other details are appreciated, ANY!

Should I buy Airline Tickets from an employee of an airline? Worried about scam.....? I'm taking a trip in Oct. I'm trying to save as much money as possible. I posted an ad online hoping for maybe someone who had a voucher to sell or something I didn't really know, just posted it. I get an Email and the guy says he works for united and gets discounted tickets. My trip was supposed to cost 750 and he said he can get me tickets for 550. He would make a request to his supervisor, get the tickets, send me the confirmation number, and then once I confirmed I pay him. He doesnt live in my state. He lives in chicago and works there at one of united's hubs. He said if he is not in LA this coming weekend when I want to buy the tickets, he will just have me reload money on to his debit card that he uses when he travels. Is there ANY way this could back fire on me? I am looking for better deals, but if this could back fire and me get scammed out of money somehow, I just wont do it. I really would like to save $200 though. Any advise?

Are the unions behind the latest nightmare with checked baggage requirements? I've noticed that most airlines, except Southwest, have very restrictive size maximums for checked luggage. It used to be based on weigth soley, up to 75lbs for most carriers. Now, it's down to 35lbs, and the bag cannot be over a certain size, regardless of weight. I heard from an airline employee directly that at any given time 50% of baggage handlers are on workers' comp. Are the unions pressuring the airlines to reduce baggage weight and size so that their little itty bitty backs don't get hurty wurty? If airline travel isn't complicated enough, now we're put in a posistion where two bags cost us almsot as much as a one-way fare, and if you go overweight on one bag they won't except it. Here's Americans baggage requirements. It's criminal: Flights within the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico For tickets purchased on or after August 14, 2009: $20 for the first checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $30 for the second checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $100 per piece for the 3rd, 4th and 5th checked bags $200 per piece for the 6th checked bag and any additional pieces For tickets purchases before August 14, 2009: $15 for the first checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $25 for the second checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $100 per piece for the 3rd, 4th and 5th checked bags $200 per piece for the 6th checked bag and any additional pieces Incarcerated bert---isn't oprah on right about now.... Sad we live in a society in which complete imbeciles have been told they are bright and now they want to control the world.

Airline Cabin Announcements? All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: 1. On a Southwest flight 245 (SW has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!" 2. On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants." 3. On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have. 4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane" 5. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!" 7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight a announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa . To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised." 9. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite." 10. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 12. And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

Airline humour, star if you laugh? People in the airline industry aren't all serious... 1. On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude And will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants." 2. Heard on a Southwest Airline flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if You can light 'em, you can smoke 'em." 3. On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have." 4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane" 5. "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, alone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!" 7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised." 9. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite." 10. Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines." 11. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments." 12. "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 13. And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!" 14. Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was Quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt." 15. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!" 16. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal." 17. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline." He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no,Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or Were we shot down?" 18. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on the horn, " Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." 19. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we Hope you'll think of US Airways." 20. A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude the Captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to flight number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD! Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I Scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

Funny airline announcements? I got this from a friend, and it really cracked me up ... hope you like it. 1. On a Southwest flight 245 (SW has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, “People, people we’re not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!” 2. On a Continental Flight with a very “senior” flight attendant crew, the pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.” 3. On landing, the stewardess said, “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have. 4. “There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane” 5. “Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.” 6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: “Whoa, big fella. WHOA!” 7. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, “Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.” 8. From a Southwest Airlines employee: “Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa.. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.” 9. “In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.” 10. “Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines.” 11. “Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.”12. “As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.” 13. And from the pilot during his welcome message: “Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!” 14. Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City the flight attendant came on the intercom and said, “That was quite a bump, and I know what y’all are thinking. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the airline’s fault, it wasn’t the pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the flight attendant’s fault, it was the asphalt.” 15. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what’s left of our airplane to the gate!” 16. Another flight attendant’s comment on a less than perfect landing: “We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.” 17. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the Passengers exited, smile, and give them a “Thanks for flying our airline.” He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, “Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Why, no, Ma’am,” said the pilot. “What is it?” The little old lady said, “Did we land, or were we shot down?” 18. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on with, “Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.” 19. Part of a flight attendant’s arrival announcement: “We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you’ll thin we hope you’ll think of US Airways.” 20. Heard on a Southwest Airline flight. “Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if you can light ‘em, you can smoke ‘em.” 21. A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax.. OH, MY GOD!” Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!” A passenger in Coach yelled, “That’s nothing. You should see the back of mine.”

Airline employment selection process? Hey, Southwest, I will really appreciate your help. I applied for a CSA position in 2 airlines so far and the other day I got a call from one of them and I have an interview scheduled (YAY). I finally decided it is time for me to stop working as a travel agent and jump on the other side. I do have plenty of time, but I prefer to start early and make sure that I am well prepared. From what I was told over the phone the process will be similar to the one Southwest have (here's where you can help if you happen to know - some time ago I read on southwest's blog this really informative post about the selection day and I didn't add to my favs. And now I can't find it :( I'll keep digging, but just in case if you have an idea... thanks) All the other airline employees - current and former, if you have any tips, links with info on how to prepare myself, and whatever you can think of that might be helpful... Please share. Thank you all for the help! thanks Dan

What can we do to keep out luggage safe? I am traveling in a couple of weeks, and I have heard a lot about airline employees going through baggage and stealing things. Normally I pack (in my checked luggage) clothes, shoes, and my perfume, with the really important stuff like my cell phone, chargers, laptop, etc in my tote bag that I bring with me. Is there anything that we can do to keep our luggage safe?

If they had one, the seatbelt sign would probably stay brightly lit all the time at most? If they had one, the seatbelt sign would probably stay brightly lit all the time at most corporate headquarters of major U.S. airline companies! The airline industry remains one of the most turbulent industries in the business world, even today. Deregulation in 1978 totally restructured and revamped the airline industry. Before the industry deregulated, the airlines were assigned routes and fares, and healthy profits for all competitors were practically guaranteed. But with deregulation came the fierce, free-for-all competition that a deregulated market was designed to foster. However, now, even after over eighteen years under deregulation, the “shake-out” period still seems to be plaguing the industry. Consumers, who because of the more competitive environment were supposed to benefit through lower prices and more air accessibility, find themselves frustrated with numerous hassles, delays, and waiting as they travel. Many complain that the airline companies don’t care anymore about their customers. For instance, when airline employees go on strike or engage in a labor slow-down, the consumers complain that they’re the ones to suffer. This situation has led to consumers having little faith and trust in the airlines. To achieve and keep customer satisfaction high, then, the airlines have to work doubly hard. Needless to say, the airlines haven’t exactly had a turbulence-free environment within which to operate their businesses. Competition within the deregulated industry is fierce. And that competition is coming not only from domestic airlines, but to an increasingly larger extent, from global ones as well. Employees want more pay and benefits even though costs have to be strictly controlled in order to stay competitive. Costs have to be watched carefully and even when the airlines do that, profit convenient travel times and locations, and hassle-free service. There’s even upstart new- typically low-cost and low-frill — airlines to deal with. It’s enough to make any sane manager fasten that seatbelt a little tighter! Question: Use Porter’s five-forces model to do a competitive analysis of the airline industry.

Former president APJ Abdul Kalam was recently frisked by an international airline; your comment? from yahoo news:- New Delhi, July 21 (ANI): Former president APJ Abdul Kalam was recently frisked by an international airline at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. Kalam was travelling to the US about a month ago on Continental Airlines when the incident happened. Sources at the airport said Continental Airlines employees frisked Kalam in what is called the second line of security check. He was made to take off his shoes and asked to wait before being frisked. The Directorate General of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) denied the security checks were conducted by them. However, Continental Airlines defended the same saying that it was a regular security check as the policy of the company is to frisk everyone. They also said that there is no special rule for VIP or VVIP's. Meanwhile, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said that corrective measures would be taken if anyone is found wrong. "We will ask for corrective action from the airlines and in case they are proven wrong, we will ask them to tender and apology," he added. (ANI) Is your blood not boiling?

Reimbursement of Prepaid Airlines Tickets? I am looking for information regarding the reimbursement of prepaid airlines tickets for employees that travel. I work at a small company that is growing and new procedures are coming into play. Currently we have 10 employees that are traveling on a regular basis. Although it is cost effective to allow them to purchase tickets in advance for the discounts, I am concerned that if we continue to grow, have much more traveling and more people that are traveling that we will eventually get burned. So does anyone have any insight into how to handle this?

The Best Airline and Worst Airlines....How Do You Determine It??? Hey everyone, This is a random discussion question so feel free to answer.. I am a FA for Delta and I was just reading some different comments about airlines and wanted to ask What makes you say one airline is better than the other? I have flown on a few different airlines and they honestly do the same thing that other carriers do, as of ON the airplane. Most recent travel adventure i was on Continental, and they didnt do no more than i expected them to...Customer service was the same and beverage service was the same as any other airline. We can't apply Weather delays and Rude Flight attendants to the question, because EVERY job has grumpy employees and bad days...the airline industry is just like every other job, the FA's are not perfect and we all have problems. I had to work after a relative of mine passed away...so YES I was a little grumpy...FA do have lives and problems outside of work, so for you people that think FA suppose to be perfect, think again. Ur Opinion. Lost Luggage and Mechanical delays can happen on ANY airline. So if passengers buy a ticket and think that everything will be perfect 100% of the time...they are setting themselves up for disappointments...No airline is perfect...and things will always happen... Well When people talk about the airplanes, just about every airline have the same planes, so when people say no leg room, on the 737, then you can say that every other airline that flys the 737 has no leg room, right?

Why do employers expect employees to pay for travel expenses and then get reimbursed? Over the last 3 or 4 years, I have worked for companies that expect us to pay for airline tickets, hotel bills and other expenses, when they could easily pay for it upfront or issue credit cards. Instead they want us to use our money, what is the deal with why corporations who have plenty of money, but the burden rests on our shoulders and then we have to wait 3 weeksfor a reimbursment check?

Are the unions behind the latest nightmare with checked baggage requirements? I've noticed that most airlines, except Southwest, have very restrictive size maximums for checked luggage. It used to be based on weigth soley, up to 75lbs for most carriers. Now, it's down to 35lbs, and the bag cannot be over a certain size, regardless of weight. I heard from an airline employee directly that at any given time 50% of baggage handlers are on workers' comp. Are the unions pressuring the airlines to reduce baggage weight and size so that their little itty bitty backs don't get hurty wurty? If airline travel isn't complicated enough, now we're put in a posistion where two bags cost us almsot as much as a one-way fare, and if you go overweight on one bag they won't except it. Here's Americans baggage requirements. It's criminal: Flights within the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico For tickets purchased on or after August 14, 2009: $20 for the first checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $30 for the second checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $100 per piece for the 3rd, 4th and 5th checked bags $200 per piece for the 6th checked bag and any additional pieces For tickets purchases before August 14, 2009: $15 for the first checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $25 for the second checked piece. Exceptions may apply. $100 per piece for the 3rd, 4th and 5th checked bags $200 per piece for the 6th checked bag and any additional pieces

This is an Economy question about changes in the airline industry.? Turmoil in the Airline Industry Even before the September 11 terrorist attacks, the major airlines were flying into stiff head winds. Slim to nonexistent profits, bankruptcies and buckets of red ink, poor service, late arrivals, overexpansion, frequent air-traffic control breakdowns, some of the worst labor-management relations in business, high fuel costs, a full-blown economic downturn, and the collapse of business travel had cast this industry into one of the worst periods in aviation history. Road Warriors Get Smart For years, the major airlines had succeeded in getting business travelers (road warriors) to pay premium fares by pampering them with special business-class seats and other perks. Business travel was their lifeblood. Sales of unrestricted fares and last-minute tickets generated about two to three times as much as economy fares and contributed about 70 percent of a major airline?s revenue. But with corporate profits hitting the skids in late 2000, companies put the brakes on travel spending. The corporate exodus hit the major airlines hard. Resourceful business travelers used substitute products such as videoconferencing or other transportation modes ? even if it meant putting up with inconveniences ? to reduce travel expenses. Some turned to the Internet to find cheaper airfares. Others moved their business downstream to discount airlines such as Southwest and Jet Blue. Major airlines tried to raise round-trip leisure tickets to make up for their lost business revenues, but fierce competition from discounters prevented them from doing so. Air Travel is ?Wal-Marted? Just as Wal-Mart did in retailing, the discounters of the air such as Southwest and Jet Blue are squeezing the major airlines from all ends. Low-cost carriers now account for nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic air capacity, up from 6 percent in the early 1990?s. They can afford to sell travel tickets for less because they have many cost advantages over full-service rivals. To begin with, they have younger fleets, which require less maintenance, and younger labor forces that aren?t tied to complicated, inefficient labor contracts. Moreover, low-fare carriers typically fly one airplane model, thus minimizing maintenance, operating, and training costs. By contrast, big carriers typically fly six or seven types of aircraft. And unlike the big guys, the discount airlines don?t operate expensive hub-and-spoke systems. Caught Between a Hub and a Hard Place Using a hub-and-spoke route system, major airlines scoop up traffic from smaller cities (the spokes) and funnel it through a few gathering points (the hub). This practice allows airlines to serve small markets and offer passengers more destinations and more frequent flights. But is also presents a logistical nightmare. It forces major airlines to schedule lots of flights to arrive and depart within narrow windows of time in order to minimize passenger layover times. This means that ground crews, such as gate attendants and baggage handlers, often sit idle between waves of connecting flights. By Contrast, point-to-point carriers, such as Southwest and Jet Blue, schedule flights as if passengers are moving to their final destinations. Instead of having planes and crews sit around and wait for passengers, point-to-point carriers maintain fast-paced schedules, which means minimal downtime for aircraft and fewer personnel on the ground. Turbulent Skies for the Bid Carriers Today, one in four tickets sold is on a discount airline. As pressure from low-fare carriers mounts, major airlines are reevaluating every aspect of their operations. The major carriers are undergoing radical change just to stay in business. They are experimenting with changes in costs, capacity, pricing, and product features in ways they haven?t seriously contemplated since the industry was deregulated in 1978. They are stripping billions of dollars from their operations by revamping their hub system, cutting jobs, eliminating flights, ending food service, and removing first-class seats, and by simplifying their fleets to cut training and maintenance costs, Some are replacing agents with self-service kiosks. Others are wrangling concessions from unions for huge pay cuts to reduce labor costs ? a major differentiating factor when you consider that in 2002 a United Airlines captain earned $9,000 to $11,000 more a month than a Jet Blue captain. Still others, such as U.S. Airways and United Airlines have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to reorganize their outstanding debt and lower their operating costs. In spite of their efforts, questions loom as to whether all the major airlines can survive. Even with huge cost cuts, all airlines remain susceptible to possible terrorist attacks, economic turns, or employee unrest. As experts claim that this is just the beginning of an industry-wide shakedown. After all, no airline can fly forever losing billions of dollars. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What s 1.

How much do airlines make on each ticket?? I have a friend who works for an airline compay and they have offered to buy me plane tickets with their employee discount. The thing is, i only travel from Melbourne, Australia to El Salvador to visit family and usually i get charged 2,500 to 3,000 (Australian dollars) per economy ticket. This flight goes through the US (stop over in LA) and then straight to El Salvador. But my friend says he could get them for 1,200 - 1,500 (US dollars). That is a HUGE savings, if they are right. I'll be getting them almost at half price. Could this be real?? Is there a set amount airlines charge on each tickets (20%-50% etc..)??? Thanks

what is your opinion about this article Airline lobby for system to speed airport security? Airlines lobby for system to speed airport security Biometrics uses scans of iris and fingerprints By Carly WeeksOTTAWA — A coalition of Cana­dian airlines and airports is putting pressure on Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon to adopt a biometric travel screening program that would allow passengers to “fast track” through airport security and avoid hassles like taking off their shoes, coats and removing laptops from their cases before boarding planes. The voluntary program, which is currently in place at several major U.S. airports, relies on iris and fin­gerprint scans to identify passengers and quickly move them through air­port security. The biometric screen­ing system is seen as a way to significantly reduce line-ups and other delays that have become a major has­sle for passengers, particularly those who travel frequently, according to the coalition, which includes Air Cana­da, WestJet, as well as the Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton airport authorities. “It’s just another service to passen­gers,” said Scott Armstrong, spokesman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Obviously, peo­ple are always looking for ways to make the whole airport process quick­er.” Although some Canadian airports have expressed interest in the biomet­ric screening, the federal government has to approve such a program before it can be up and running in Canada. That’s because Transport Canada would have to conduct the background checks on interested applicants, and Canadian Air Transport Security Authority employees would likely be responsible for helping passengers with biometric cards at the airport. When passengers are approved for the program, they receive a card that comes equipped with a microchip con­taining their biometric data that they must bring to the airport and scan on a machine, similar to a bank machine. Passengers with biometric cards would be able to wait in separate lines that have specialized security equipment, enabling them to pass through security checkpoints quickly and easily. Adopting such a system, also known as a registered traveller program, “would enhance aviation security while improving the passengers’ experience in the airport,” says a letter sent to Can­non’s office last month by the group of Canadian airlines and airports. The group argues the federal gov­ernment wouldn’t have to spend any money on the screening program, because it would be paid for by the pri­vate sector. Furthermore, any Cana­dians that wanted to use a biometric screening card would have to pay for the service. There is currently one company, called Clear, which operates the bio­metric screening program for about 45,000 passengers in the U.S. Although the GTAA has already signed an agreement with Clear for a similar program here, nothing can move for­ward until the federal government decides whether or not to approve it. A spokeswoman for Cannon’s office as well as CATSA said the federal gov­ernment is currently reviewing the program to see if it can be imple­mented here. — CanW est News Ser vice
