Business & First Class Air Travel
Etihad Airways has newly launched a promotions meant to increase the customers’ interest in its business class flights.
The offer will apply to many of Etihad’s Airways destinations: Brussles, Dublin, Frankfurt and Bangkok. Sources within Etihad Airways have declared that the air travellers consider the business class cabin of Etihad Airways as one of the best in the world.
Etihad Airways is the flag carrier airline of Abu Dhabi where it is based.
Pet Airlines, as the name suggests, is an airline dedicated solely to pet transportation. With a flat rate of $150, the airline will safely transport your pet from key cities around the country. Instead of the usual cargo where pets are placed in regular airlines, Pet Airlines will conveniently place the pets in the cabin where they will be tended by “Pet Attendants.” As an airline solely dedicated to pets, owners are not allowed to travel with their pets.
At least 20 aircrafts will be dedicated for this type of flights as anticipation for the demand is increasing. The announcement of the new airline was made as early as February and the maiden voyage of the airline is set on July 14, 2009. The pet company dedicated to pet travel is based on Florida but its flights will be limited to five cities in the country namely; Denver, Los Angeles, Washington, New York and Chicago. The selection of the cities is based on the number of passengers travelling with pets.
Recession may have affected the airline industry in different continents but the Middle East is braving the tough economy – even displaying considerable profits in the recent months. As a location targeted by many skilled individuals for jobs, travel to the Middle East is only growing for the past few months.
In fact, an airline solely based in Middle East became the symbol of such growth. Wataniya Airlines may be a small airline company, but it is currently one of the fastest growing airline companies in the Middle East. The airline’s business model is even considered very risky during recession as the airline offers premium business class seating only but with competitive pricing. Airline tickets from Wataniya Airlines are a little bit more expensive compared to economy class but not as much as business class.
British Airways is having some trouble keeping the losses down much like most airline industries around the world. Because of the decrease in demand for airline travel, airlines are having a hard time posting profits. BA has even cancelled a few routes in recent months because the demand to travel has decreased to a halt in some areas.
But even with the decrease in demand for travel, BA still started something “daring” in the industry.
Security is a very important factor when it comes to travelling. Companies who have staff travelling abroad can benefit of expert advice, assistance and information on security issues.
red24 offers expert security solutions using a variety of sources: security incident advice, security publications and security alerts.
What makes red24 stand out from the crowd are its proactive security services, namely business continuity support which means strategy and help in the event of unforeseen disruption or events. The members of red24 get continuous updates about security issues in a particular area they travel to.
As the demand for travel slows down, airlines are now feeling the pinch of recession and Lufthansa is no exception. As the airline has experienced a downward trend in terms of the number of their passengers, Lufthansa has cancelled flights in Frankfurt as well as Bristol. Since May 1, the airline is no longer servicing the said routes even though adjustments have been made to save the route. This is a big disappointment for the airline company since Bristol is one of their new routes they did hope to improve.
Premium travel in British Airways just got a little bit better. Hoping to attract more premium travellers in UK despite the economy, a new premium lounge in Heathrow Airport will be opened on May 11. The new lounge will be located in Terminal 3 wherein the area should be more than enough to hold 300 premium passengers waiting for their flight. The premium lounge of BA is also available for those who are currently members of the top tiers OneWorld – a travel membership that could be gained from travelling with the member group.
Using a credit card to purchase plane tickets is not a unique transaction. In fact, online reservations for flights are only possible if airline ticket is paid with credit cards. Without credit cards, travelling would be very difficult and inconvenient as you’ll have to bring cash everywhere you go.
But the use of credit cards in airline transactions is not only for airfare anymore. Credit cards could be used to improve your experience in the airline. With a few additional dollars or with the right credit card, you could upgrade to premium flights.
Travellers who fly with Air France will be happy to hear that the carrier has unveiled its new long haul premium economy cabin. This will be called Premium Voyageur. These seats are first going to be seen on flights to New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
These new seats are going to have an extra 19 inches for width. On top of that, the seats will be able to recline up to 123 degrees. The premium economy seats will be offering an extra 40% of space than most airlines’ economy seats. The seat pitch, or the distance between the seat backs will be 38 inches. This is the same distance that you can see on the British Airways World Traveller Plus. All seats also come with a 10.4 inch wide video screen.
For Delta Airlines’ 80th anniversary, the one-way fares will have attractive offers. For example flights from the Monroe Regional Airport will be sold for $80 to help get the word out about the 80th anniversary. Some of the great cities you will be able to travel to for $80 will be Atlanta, Orlando, and even Memphis.
Not only is Delta Airlines trying to raise awareness of their 80th anniversary, but they are also trying to boost their seat sales. They feel that this new sale should give them a tremendous boots in number of seats filled. They also hope that this will put an end to the bad downward spiral that Monroe Regional Airport has seen. In fact, they have seen a drop of almost 20 percent in number of passengers flying. This means that only about 88,977 people are flying out of that airport.
