Travel Opinion
September 16, 2008 | Permalink
What have people been discussing in the world of travel lately? When you are on the road, it can be hard to keep up on the news, let alone opinions, even though we all have our own. So, to keep you in the loop, here are a couple recent travel commentaries of note:
Consumerist: US Airways Abandoning Passengers is Not a Compensation Issue
If you get stuck on the runway or your flight is delayed or cancelled, what are you entitled to? Not much, according to this article from the Consumerist. The argument is that if airlines had to pay for delays, they’d have more incentive to get planes in the air on-time rather than safely.
Business Daily: Mobile Phones Take a Step Into the Air Travel Industry
Airlines, including Air France and Emirates, are starting to allow mobile phone usage on planes. This is a trend to watch and may come to the US…perhaps for a fee like everything else on planes these days. While most people in a recent MSNBC survey are against passengers talking on their cell phones during the flight, it would be a useful way to stay in touch during business travel.
