Almost done for the week – and another flight tomorrow, so the next topic is 10 Ideas for airlines to improve air travel in coach class. Flying is not a pleasure and is much more of a hardship. How can airlines improve it?
My answers are below. Please post yours to the comments to this post!
1. Allow pre-ordering drinks on website…makes process go smoother
2. Load airplane back front…first class has own preboarding area so boards last
3. Free daily local newspapers or have them electronic on an app you can read for free onboard
4. Improved Wi-Fi
5. Bring back free checked luggage…just bury it in the price…eliminate everyone carrying ever larger bags on board
6. Guest lecturers or talk shows just for the flying public …you can listen live on headphones
7. Southwest rule for all airlines…if you need a seatbelt extender, you pay for the seat next to you.
8. Change up free snack mix offering…keep us guessing
9. Logistics upgrade – offer bag pick up and delivery for a fee
10. More accurate Intel on flight delays…don’t be overly optimistic…be transparent about delays and advise early and often
