Choosing an airline

airportYou have your destination, now to get there.

With the internet it is now very easy for you to find the best possible way of flying. You can now sit in the comfort of your home and decide on the route, how many stops and how long you would like to be at the airport. Sometimes a long layover in an interesting city is worth your while.

Ticket price is most often the deciding factor. Most airlines offer discounts at times so keep checking prices. Ensure that all airport taxes are included in the price, or make allowance for them.

Airport parking is soomething to consider. It can’t all be as good as LAX airport parking but try reading online reviews of your airports parking facilities.

Airline service is important. Some airlines have far superior service and if you are going to be in the air for 18 hours, good service is important. Airlines with good service records are most likely to have all the comforts on board, and in working order.

Have a look at what they offer if you have a layover. Some airlines will give you a meal voucher, others a stay in a hotel and some offer nothing. We all like free stuff.

See what they offer at the airport. Lounge facilities, lockers and showers are a plus on a layover.

Food. You make thing airline food is airline food. There is one airline that I prefer because of their far superior food and wine choices. They even have a popular brand of up market ice-cream as midnight snack. If all the other airlines are a tie, that is the best choice.
