RaulJones so, are you gonna walk across the water getting from Britian to The Bahamas or either sink in a ship ? Especially qwhen you have only a week to vacation.

The whole system needs a rehaul if you ask me. Most of this has little to do with saving money, but more with evolving along with technology. After all this time, there is still only one door on the plane. Isn’t the worst part of the flight the time between when it lands, and when you actually get to stand up and leave the plane?

Since there are so many flights, as noted in the article, why not make the seats a little bigger and more comfy, and allow fewer people per flight, thus filling those other flights that might be empty.

The whole stewardess service thing is outdated as well. Why not limit stewardesses, give everyone (not just first class) a bottle of water and a handful of nuts at their seat when they arrive, and make us pay for everything else that we don’t really need.

Offer food on every flight – not just the ones >3hrs. Hungry people will pay for food. Better yet – eliminate the 4-foot cubicle for stewardess’ cart storage, and install a vending machine!

And yes, all airports should have a smoking area.. or seven.

I have a better idea: let ‘em all starve. Flying is not a necessity…unless you’re cargo.

Actually, the amount of liquids such as mouthwash, moisturizer etc that are packed in business class kits that are provided would exceed the alloted quantity allowed on board. I love the treats that business class gives me on 16+ hour flights.
