Looks like the airline industry is coming back due to the lower cost of fuel, although no one knows how long that will last, currently with fuel prices down they are breathing easier right now and look to see profitability in 2009. But with traffic down also, aircraft are not always full, even though many airlines have cut capacity.

This should not surprise anyone. With airline travel down and excess capacity being cut. Aircraft can load and de-plane faster and there are fewer aircraft waiting in line or stacking up waiting to land. Consumer Reports has noted that lately more flights have been on time, except for the recent holiday storms around Christmas time 2008.

There are numerous flights to Bali and depending on where you are coming from it can take just a couple of hours or almost a tour around the world. For those travellers coming from the USA it must be one hell of a flight since it takes almost 24 hours to get to this beautiful island.

As you might have expected already there are unfortunately no direct flights to Bali from any of the airports in the USA. If you travel from New York the best option is to fly to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific or American Airlines and then transfer on a flight with Hong Kong Express Airways straight to Bali. This ‘fast’ option will take approximately 22 h 15 minutes.

From San Francisco it takes surprisingly 21 hours with… Continue reading

Today just in the UK there are well over 10,000 trained airline pilots flying different sized aircraft all over the world. There are also many more people looking to become airline pilots and it is arguably one of the best jobs in the world.

The gradual progression of the career path of an airline pilot is essential and should not be rushed under any circumstance. Putting a pilot into an aircraft who is not yet fully competent endangers the lives of all the passengers. Pilots will initially start off with smaller air craft often on short haul flights to help them build up their experience. Usually after about 5 years they will apply to become co-pilots on long haul flights and make the gradual progress to pilot. Promotion to the position… Continue reading

Preparing for the journey:It is especially important to keep your kids aware of what is going on if they are old enough. Talk about where you are going, places you are going to visit, people you are going to meet, where you will be staying. At the same time, try not to overwhelm the kids with too many details. Only essential information will be enough to keep their excitement going.

Explain to your kids what will be expected of them. To be with you at all times, to allow you plenty of time to locate a rest room in case they need to go, never to roam away. To be responsible for carrying their own bags. To use “inside voice” in the airport and on the plane. My… Continue reading
