]]>Keep it Down
Wherever you choose to sit, be mindful of those around you and respect your fellow passengers by keeping your noise level to a minimum. Hold conversations with travel companions at a reasonable volume, and wear headphones when consuming media with audio while on board. This goes for children, as well. We all understand that little ones cry sometimes, but very few people over the age of 6 want to listen to Baby Shark on repeat—especially at 30,000 feet.
Be Scent-sible
Carrying heavy bags and running through the airport can quickly leave us smelling less than our best, so do what you can to take care of any unpalatable odors before sharing a cabin with 300 other passengers. Shower and apply deodorant ahead of leaving for the airport, and reapply or use wet wipes to freshen up before you board. With that, avoid using too much perfume, as well, as strong scents may trigger respiratory issues in passengers with allergies.

Do your part to ensure an efficient boarding experience for all by heading straight for your assigned seat. Don’t dawdle in the aisle, quickly stowing any carry-on bags without hogging space in the overhead bins. When it’s time to disembark, prevent congestion and minimize stress for the crew and other passengers by patiently waiting your turn.

]]>Air France
If there’s one country whose airline we’d expect to have top-quality food, it’s France. In traditional French fashion, the ingredients used to prepare Air France meals are carefully selected and locally sourced, with Michelin-star chefs commissioned to oversee development and serve on designated “tasting committees.” And, because it’s France, all meals are served with a side of bread, cheese, and complimentary wine.
Emirates
Emirates is best-known for the distinct beige and red uniforms donned by its flight attendants, but its meal offerings are proof that the airline is committed to more than just fashion. All passengers are provided with multicourse meals inspired by the culinary traditions of the region, many of which also happen to be vegetarian. Those in first-class also have the option to enjoy bottomless champagne free of charge.
Japan Airlines
Travelers heading to or from the Land of the Rising Sun with Japan Airlines can look forward to enjoying thoughtfully-crafted meals designed to highlight the flavors of the country’s cuisine. Many are developed by celebrity chefs using local ingredients like fresh fish, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables, though business-class passengers have the option to choose a “Western-style” meal if they prefer. Japanese meals are served in bento boxes with a pair of chopsticks and a little red origami crane—a symbol of luck and hospitality.

]]>Practice Safe Seating
Obviously, not everyone can sit near the back, but if flying makes you nervous and you don’t have to rush to catch a connection, know that the rear area of the plane is usually the safest in the event of a crash. During an impact, the nose of the aircraft will typically absorb the most force, and passengers seated near the tail tend to have higher survival rates than those in the front.
Stay Awake
As tempting as it might be to take a catnap during takeoff and landing, these are actually the phases of the flight when accidents are most likely to occur. By staying awake, you’ll be better prepared to respond quickly in the event of an emergency. With that, it’s also important to keep your shoes on, your seatbelt fastened, and your bag tucked neatly under the seat in front of you.
Wear Close-Toed Shoes
Speaking of keeping your shoes on, close-toed styles are the best choice for both comfort and safety should you need to exit the plane at a moment’s notice. Depending on the nature of the emergency, it may be necessary to climb around certain objects, or there may be pieces of debris on the floor of the aircraft, and closed shoes will allow for easier movement as well as minimize the risk of injury.

]]>Japan Airlines
With some of the widest seats and spacious rows, it comes as no surprise that Japan Airlines has been named as won the Skytrax award for best economy class seat five years running! This airline is also famous for giving out delicious treats throughout the flight, including traditional drinks such as ume-shu (plum wine) and sake as well as Japanese Soba noodles.
Qatar Airways
For food lovers, there’s no better economy-class offering than that of Qatar Airways. This airline offers passengers three different choices of meals as well as unlimited snacks and drinks throughout the flight.
Singapore Airlines
From toothpaste and toothbrushes to blankets and socks, passengers on any Singapore Airlines flight will receive plenty of amenities to make their journey as comfortable as possible. What’s more, passengers are entitled to receive the world-famous Singapore sling or any other cocktail with their meals, including those in economy class.

]]>Respect Personal Space
Space can be limited on flights, so it’s essential to respect the personal space of others. Avoid hogging the armrest, reclining your seat abruptly, or allowing your belongings to spill over into neighboring seats.
Keep the Noise Down
Noise levels can significantly impact the in-flight experience. Use headphones when watching movies, listening to music, or playing games. If you’re traveling with children, ensure they are entertained in a way that doesn’t disturb other passengers.
Be Considerate When Reclining
Reclining your seat is perfectly fine, but be mindful of the timing and consider the comfort of the person behind you. Slowly recline your seat and avoid doing so during meal service or when the passenger behind you is using their tray table.
Limit the Use of Strong Fragrances and Practice Good Hygiene
Strong perfumes or colognes can be overwhelming in the confined space of an airplane. Opt for a light and subtle fragrance or consider going without. Also, maintain good personal hygiene.
Respect Quiet Hours
Many flights have designated quiet hours during which the cabin lights are dimmed to encourage rest. If you’re not planning to sleep, consider dimming your personal screen and keeping conversations quiet.
Follow Cabin Crew Instructions
Cabin crew members are there to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers. Listen carefully to their announcements, follow their instructions, and be patient during the boarding and disembarking processes.

]]>More and more airports around the world, however, have begun to establish themselves as worthy attractions of their own due to technological innovations and a focus on traveler satisfaction.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Detroit, Michigan has become one of the most attractive airport options in the United States for this very reason.
Viajero Frecuente While you might not expect to find a wealth of interesting things at a medium-sized hub airport in the United States, DTW is full of surprises.
One of the most interesting things about the Detroit Airport is its ExpressTram, a sort of elevated subway system inside the Edward H. McNamara Terminal, the second-longest on Earth. It’s completely free to ride and a quick way to get from gate to gate, or a fascinating way to kill time during a long layover!
The other curious attraction that draws lots of love for the Detroit Airport is its light tunnel which connects Concourses B and C and Concourse A in the terminal. Here, a fascinating, timed LED light show turns a drab tunnel into a fascinating art attraction that you will be enthralled by.
Be sure to select an itinerary with a layover in Detroit the next time you’re flying if you want to check out one of the coolest airports on Earth!

]]>So, just what are the busiest airports on Earth which see the most passengers every year? Let’s check them out!
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (United States)
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has been the busiest airport on Earth for a long time now. This airport is Delta’s hub for all travel throughout the globe, including a vast network of regional and American flights as well as international travel. Over 110 million travelers passed through ATL in 2019.
Beijing Capital International Airport (China)
The biggest airport in the most populated country on Earth belongs to Beijing and it’s a massive hub of aircraft operations. This airport links China and the rest of the globe and it broke the 100 million passenger mark for the first time last year.
Dubai International Airport (UAE)
Dubai International Airport is the gateway to the Middle East, and it comes in at number three on the standings. Nearly 90 million people passed through the airport in 2019 as it continues to grow as Dubai gains more and more fame and airplane traffic.

]]>Health is the most important thing, so here are some tips for maintaining your health on the plane.
Wear a Face Mask
A face mask, of course, is a must. Masks have been proven to protect your health and protect those around you. Bring an extra mask in case you lose yours or just want to freshen up.
Keep Clean
Bring some disinfectant products with you to the plane, and clean your environment as much as possible. Even if you do not manage to get rid of all the dirt that has accumulated from the previous passengers, it will be a little more pleasant for you on the plane during your flight.
Bring Food and Water
Be sure to bring water and food from home. Not all airlines offer food on airplanes these days, and even if they do, it can be very different from what you are used to.

]]>The post The Difference Between Business Class and First Class? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>For those of us who haven’t had the luxury of flying in an upgraded cabin, the distinction between these two celebrated cabin grades can be hard to gauge. So, what makes them different? Let’s take a look.
First Class
In short, flying first class is a little bit more expensive and nicer than business class. Why? Typically, in first class, your seat will lay flat in order to serve as a bed, and oftentimes your space will be able to be converted into a private “apartment-like” setting so that you aren’t seen or disturbed by other passengers. Food is typically of world-class quality, with menus designed by world-renowned chefs being common. This is the cream of the crop of the flying experience and usually is only offered on long (6+ hour) flights.
With programs like United MileagePlus dropping unannounced devaluations on us, it’s nice to know Alaska Mileage Plan still shows some respect for its members. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝟸𝟶𝟷𝟼. 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘰!! Still, Alaska continues to offer solid award rates on some partner airlines that offer some fun business and first class experiences. 𝐎𝐧𝐞-𝗪𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬
Along with great award rates, my favorite part of Alaska’s program is that it allows stopovers on one-way tickets. While you can only include one partner airline on a one-way award, this is still quite useful. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 “𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤”
I put “trick” in quotations since this isn’t really a trick but rather a great way to use a stopover on a one-way ticket. It’s also forgotten way too often. It’s as simple as this. Let’s say you use 50,000 Alaska miles to book a biz class award ticket to Los Angeles from Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. Rather than stopping there, take advantage of the stopover option. If you live somewhere else, take a few days to visit LA. If you live in LA – and here’s the real “trick” – then stopover in your hometown for a few months before flying somewhere else in the U.S. for a weekend. Maybe a trip to NYC or Chicago. Just because you live in LA, doesn’t mean your destination has to be LA. It can easily be included as your stopover city when you book the flight home from Hong Kong. So, with 50,000 Alaska miles, you can fly home from Asia, go back to work, then start another trip all on one award ticket. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 Personally, I think other airlines should provide these opportunities. Rather than focusing on cutting benefits, I’d like to see airlines find ways to create value for their customers with options like this. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.Business Class
Flying business class is really nice too and is a common alternative to economy class on medium-range and long-range flights. Here, your seat will have extra legroom and you’ll be able to stretch out during the flight. These days, some business class seats lie flat as well and serve as beds. The meals are nice, even restaurant-quality, and you will be waited upon very well by the flight staff.

]]>The post Flying in 2020? Check These 3 Things Before Buying the Ticket appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>While airplanes are generally considered a safe traveling method due to the constant air ventilation on-board, there are some things that you should still take into account and research before booking. Here they are.
Cancellation Policy
An airline’s cancellation policy is a critical thing to be aware of before booking a flight in 2020. If you were to get sick or if new travel restrictions were to be put in place, having the option to get at least a partial refund on the money you paid to fly is a big plus.
Flight Occupancy
Before booking most flights, airlines will offer you the chance to see the current seating situation on your flight. If you see that the flight is going to be close to full, it might be better to skip the one you’re looking at and find one with a little bit more social distance.
The Airline’s Social Distancing Practices
Related to the previous point, it’s also smart to book with companies with a social distancing plan in place on board before flying. No matter how much the air is ventilated in an airplane cabin, it still isn’t a great idea to sit in a row jammed in with more people than necessary.
