Sleep Better on International Flights

Jet lag is one of the most common and aggravating downsides to long distance flights. Advice usually abounds around sleeping on international flights to avoid jet lag. But sleep may be more difficult to catch on a crowded airplane.

  • Keep stress low by planning earlier than usual. Double checking your hotel and flight details, and notifying your banks will keep unexpected issues from ruining your sleep.
  • Pack as early as possible, and create a checklist of essentials so you don’t realize on the flight what you left behind.
  • Bring extra sleep necessities. A heavy eye cover to block more light, a shawl for cold moments, and a playlist of calming music.
  • Sleep before the flight just in case sleep does not visit you on your flight. Avoiding energy drinks and coffee or other stimulants the day before will help as well.
  • Moderate your consumption of alcohol. Dehydration and headaches from a hangover will detract from the trip.
  • Relax before you sleep with a book, short workout, or a hot bath.

You Get Angry on Planes Here's Why

Air rage happens. But why does it happen, and how can it be stopped from spreading?

Studies have found that air rage is 4 times as likely to happen during flights with first-class cabins as those without first-class cabins. Just the existence of economically segregated seats is not the cause of this liklihood, but it brings about the cause.

Certain boarding patterns lead first-class passengers into their seats first. The next group to board is economy seating, and these passengers pass through first-class seating with those passengers relaxing and possibly enjoying a champagne.

By introducing the stark inequality between first-class and economy cabins to both groups of passengers a divide is made. This separation stirs air rage originating from both cabins. Economy guests see opulence right before being led to smaller seats and less comfort, and first-class guests may be lead to expect higher of the flight crew or experience with a sense of entitlement. Both groups of guests are more prone to air rage just by seeing each other.

Airlines Teaching Car Rentals

Airlines in America have dwindled from eight national corporations through mergers and takeovers into the four we have today, and nearby car rental companies have caught on to their schemes. The major three car rental companies are following the airlines towards the goal of charging the most possible for their services.

In transportation optimizing fleet size and location is the highest priority. Making sure just enough inventory, cars or planes in this instance, is used to meet the demands of consumers can make or break the company. The big three car renters, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise, have kept the brands of their acquired competition to retain those brand loyal customers and market niches.

Avoid the TSA

Airport lines and delays are getting more frustrating and longer as time progresses. The Transportation Security Administration has been reported as a larger hassle than the benefits it provides.

In a rush of reports recently the TSA is painted as an understaffed agency with little to no track record of success, and even no cyber-security to speak of. The only impact it is having on travel and the transportation industry is slowing it down through lines and delays.

Certain systems have been proposed to improve the TSA, from increasing the manpower on the ground to speed things along, to increasing training of each agent to more accurately screen luggage, to even abolishing the TSA to replace with private security for each airport.

From this build-up in annoyances the luxury travel industry has seen an influx of new priivate charters and jet hedging customers.
