| 10 Ways To Avoid Air Travel Inconvenience | | 2007-12-25 22:24:20 | | This has been the worst year ever in the United States for flight delays and cancellations. Planes are full, making it difficult to find a seat on another flight should your flight experience problems. Here are some tips from Airfarewatchdog.com to help you avoid inconvenience when you're traveling.Avoid connecting flights altogether: They are the flyer's worst enemy. Yes, airlines often charge more for nonstops, but it's worth the extra money.Build longer layovers: If there is no nonstop flight, then build extra time into your itinerary for the connection. Don't take the connecting flight that gives you just 45 minutes to change planes at a busy airport; instead, ask for a two to four-hour layover to make the connection. You may not be able to do this online, but rather you'll have to call a travel agent or the airline directly. Yes, it will cost you more (airlines charge extra to book over the phone, and travel agents charge too) but it's worth it. Hate longer layovers? Bring a good book. You'll hate spending two days on a cot at O'Hare even more, trust me.Shun chronically late flights: Every domestic US flight is assigned a number from 1 to 10, with 1 meaning that the flight is historically on time between 0 and 10 percent of the time, and 10 meaning it is on time between 90 and 100 percent of the time. You can get this data on some airline sites, or call the airline to find it. Some flights are indeed late 100 percent of the time. Try to book only 9s and 10s.Call your airline, frequently: Make sure you reconfirm that your flight is operating on time — or operating at all. Do this several weeks, several days, and several hours before your flight. I've heard so many stories from readers lately about airlines scrapping flights from their schedules entirely (not just canceling one flight, but the entire route or the entire flight schedule) and not notifying passengers until they got to the airport. I wouldn't rely on having the airline contact you, but i | | By: Bali For Travelling - Guidance Before Visiting Bal | | |

| | Air travel in India lower than SL, Pak | | 2007-08-30 17:02:00 | | NEW DELHI: The aviation sector may be witnessing an unprecedented boom in the country but an Assocham-Ernst and Young joint study suggests that India is one of the 'least penetrated' markets for air travel. The study says, on an average, 1,000 Indians take 20 air trips a year. This figure is 60 for China and 2,300 for the US. In fact, India's "air penetration levels are even lower than its neighbours Sri Lanka, Pakistan and countries with poorer GDP such as Ethiopia and Nigeria."

| | Infrastructure woes hit air travel in India | | 2007-08-28 22:18:00 | | NEW DELHI: Every 1,000 Indians, accustomed to air travel, make only 20 air trips in a year against 60 and 2,300 trips made by the Chinese and Americans. This is a stark contrast and an example which highlights India’s low score in aviation penetration, said a joint study by industry body Assocham and Ernst & Young. Commenting on the study, Assocham president Venugopal Dhoot said: “The basic reason for the lack of advancement in the Indian aviation industry is the absence of proper infrastructure and presence of high costs. The aviation sector needs to pay attention to the infrastructure at the international airports, domestic aerodrome conveniences and air control and navigational facilities.”
