30 Ways Flying is Improving

From Android-Powered Airlines to Booze Filled Flights

— January 7, 2014 — Autos
It might be hard to believe that flying is improving with the number of nightmare tales that some travellers have, but these instances are actually becoming a minority in the grand scheme. Airlines -- more than ever before -- are working tirelessly to provide a better experience and try to make up for service discrepancies of the past.

Marketing campaigns that take to the streets to find out what people are looking to have when they're 30,000 feet high and redesigned planes with true comfort in mind are helping to ensure that air travel, whether necessary or for leisure, is as enjoyable as possible. What's more, exceptionally accommodating staff with an in-tune nature are helping to rebel against the bad name they've received in the media in past years.
