Boarding times at airports have doubled since the 1970s

Most Annoying Airline Delays Might Just Be in the Boarding by Jad Mouawad (NYT) Boarding times at airports have doubled since the 1970s, prompting airlines to try all kinds of elaborate tricks to get passengers in speedily and leave the gate on time. Here is the link for the full article. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/01/business/airlines-are-trying-to-cut-boarding-times-on-planes.html So what is the best way to do this? Start from the last row, in sectors/zones like many airlines does or the first window and then aisle seats? Ryanair has the quickest turn-around time in the aviation industry as they board passengers from the rear door while off-loading the previous flight passengers from the front door or v.v. as they don't have any pre-assigned seats.

Boeing's Dreamliner begins first commercial flight today, 26 October. The All Nippon Airlines (ANA) flight is carrying its first passengers from Tokyo to Hong Kong. Despite the delay of 3 years, which is a quite long time for airlines, I am happy to see B787 is on air. Personally, I like to experience it as soon as possible. This aircraft is one of the two aircraft planned for the future of aviation based on different strategies. A380 and B787 were the products of rival strategies. Then we learned about A350-1000 and B747-800 ;) Full article of BBC is here ... Bon Voyage B787 !

Şubat 2009'da Goa'dan başlayan  Hindistan turu sonlara yaklaşırken Kemal Abi ile gezinin devamında nereye gidilebileceği konusunu yavaş yavaş netleştiriyorduk. Diğer taraftan Sona o tarihlerde Koh-Phangan'da olacaktı ve uzun zaman sonra bir dostu oralarda görme şansı da vardı. Gezinin sonu Tayland olarak gözüküyordu da Hindistan'dan Tayland'a nasıl gidilir sorusu cevaplanmalıydı. Aslında Madras'dan tek uçakla Bangkok'a gidilebilirdi ama bu seçenek hem maddi olarak en uygunu olmayacaktı hem de backpacker olarak gezmenin ruhuna çok uymuyordu... neticede ulaşmak ya da gitmek ayrı bir şey gezmek ayrı bir şey. Madras'dan Sri Lanka aktarmalı Singapur uçak biletlerimizi aldığımızda çok daha keyifli ve iki ülke daha görebileceğimiz ekonomik bir programa sahiptik. Önce Singapur'u görecek, ardından tren ile Kuala Lumpur'a geçecek, sonrasında da yine trenle Penang üzerinden Tayland'ın Surat Thani şehrine varacaktık. Buradan da tekneyle Koh-Phangan&#
