Flight 93

Advantages: Educates on the subject effectively
Disadvantages: is only based on 'facts'

...if you were alive in 2001! Flight 93 Outside of the Film On September 11th 2001 a United Airlines flight was scheduled to fly from Newark International Airport to San Francisco this was flight 93. The flight was hijacked by four terrorists and the plane was a part of the September 11th attacks which diverted three other planes into targets, The World Trade Centre and the Pentagon causing America to plunge into disbelief and tragedy to spread across the world. Flight 93 is said to have been taken over by four Islamic terrorists who took control of the planes cockpit and threatened the passengers with a bomb, which has not been ever proven to have been on board, and according to families who spoke to passengers during the flight the bomb was not revealed. In a brave attempt to regain control of the plane the passengers...

low cost flights - safety ?

Advantages: cheap and available
Disadvantages: are they safe?

...In light of recent airline tragedies and a growing number of budget flights is safety being compromised? Those of you who have recently used an airline have probably had the same thoughts as myself just as you step onto the plane? DEAR GOD PLEASE DON'T LET US CRASH. Just as our air ways above seem to be on the recovery from the tragic 9/11 horrors, another bout of high altitudes nightmares have occurred and taken centre stage with world wide media. Yet again the way we travel moves to the forefront of plane user's minds. The big question of safety being compromised on budget flights in order to raise profit margins is being asked by many. Are we right to jump to a conclusion that these air companies are playing with people's lives to line their own pockets, or is it because air tragedies are not as common as car accidents and don...

Was Spainair Flight 5022 Just A Tragic Accident?

Advantages: Natural catastrophes need prevention; human ignorance and greed need to be stopped
Disadvantages: In both cases it is impossible!!

...For many reasons . . . Airline tragedies are very common and frequent these days, in the past years hearing about an airplane crash was very horrific and traumatic but now it's happening all the time! People wake up every day expecting to hear about these accidents in the day's news! So, In light of recent airline tragedies, and a growing number of budget flights, is safety being compromised? Well?in the first instance the answer is YES! Before the recent accidents and crashes and what we have seen and heard in recent news, I used to simply blame the airlines. BUT?looking at the evidence and after spending hours looking in the net and reading researches about this subject, I can see that there is a lot more to say about it: it's a lot more complicated than I imagined. I realised how shallow my knowledge about airplane...

Monarch Airline-Low Cost Airline

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: none

...fly also from Luton and the business was steadily expanding. Also you fly with Monarch from Manchester as well. From 2001 they launched the website so that people could booked the flights on line which makes it very convenient so that you do not need to speak to anyone on the phone and the advantage of booking on line you can do this anytime of the day. I will certainly use them again because their prices are very good value and also the times of the flights often suit me better than other lowcost airlines. Also I find there are more than one flight to choose from at very good prices. I like the way that you can select your seat before hand and also that to save time you can book in online which is quicker when you get to the airport....

Review of Monarch Airlines

Fast points, fast flights, horrible airline

Advantages: Very easy to earn points, without flying
Disadvantages: mediochre airline

...I generally don't really care about the different mileage plans out there, because there are so many loopholes that it almost makes them worthless in my eyes. I still sign up for all of them and I still use them, but normally, I don't think much about them. I don't have a clue how many miles I have on most of my mileage plans, except for my Alaska Airlines mileage plan. How to earn miles With Alaska Airlines, you can earn miles in so many different ways, that you quickly have tickets built up. Unfortunately, I hate the airline itself, so that's not always the best thing. With Alaska Airlines, you can earn miles the standard way that most mileage plans work, with flights. You get your miles through that method, which is the easiest way to earn points if you fly a lot. However, if you don't fly all that often, like most people...

Monarch Airlines, flight not satisfactory

Advantages: Friendly and helpful Staff
Disadvantages: Food and Legroom

...I recently travelled on Monarch airlines during the summer. Having never flown on the airline before I didn't know what to expect. The flight was a long one flying from Stansted to Rhodes in Greece, 5-6 hour I think. The main problem I had on the flight was the amount of legroom. I just fitted in and no more. I didn't want to walk around on the aisle, as I didn't want to disturb the stewards also if I did want to get out I would have had to disturb the people beside me as it was very tight getting in and out, eventually nature called and I had to get out of my seat and go to the toilet. On my way to the WC, I noticed that the best place for legroom was the row of seats behind the exit door, as it had ample room for people to get on and off the plane. The in-flight meals weren't the best; I received a hot baguette with cheese and ham...

Review of Monarch Airlines

Malaysia Airlines, sets the benchmark for other airlines!

Advantages: Very hospitable, great customer service, no delays, no fuss, very welcoming
Disadvantages: You won't want to leave the plane!!

...Malaysia Airlines have flown me between Heathrow and Kuala Lumpur twice a year for the last 8 years and I wouldn't fly with any other airline. Firstly, if you're flying too and from Kuala Lumpur on a regular basis, join the Enrich frequent flyer reward programme. You will soon amass points that can then used for upgrades to business class when you want a real treat. Malaysian custom is to be very polite and hospitable and its no different with Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Whether its terminal three at Heathrow or check in at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, you get a warm greeting and all the assistance you require. In my experience, nothing ever seems too much trouble for either the MAS ground or flight crews. Many years ago I mentioned that my wife and I were on honeymoon and we were pleasantly surprised on-board with a bottle...

Flight Plan - "Where'd My Little Girl Go?"

Advantages: Jodie Foster, Sean Bean
Disadvantages: a few minor plot flaws

...up to my liking and it was somewhat annoying that the "he must be a terrorist because he's Muslim" side-plot was included in the film. When you see the climax of the film, this is even more confusing. I was quite amused to read on Wikipedia that "The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, called for an official boycott of the film, which they say depicts flight attendants as rude, uncaring, indifferent..." This made me smile as I don't recall the last time I took a long or short haul flight (and I take at least a couple of airline trips every year) where I felt every flight attendant was polite, caring and conscientious. More often it's a case of the majority being rude, uncaring and indifferent and one is lucky when there are one or two good ones on one's flight! OVERALL THOUGHTS I can't really say if the story...

Dial a Flight

Advantages: heklpful polite and friendly service
Disadvantages: the flight prices advertised are not always available upon phoning

...I have used dial a flight on a number of occasions now, and have always been impressed with their service. I found them on a web site, but as the title suggests you cannot book the flights over the internet. The web site gives you a quote for your flight and the telephone number. Quite often though when you get through to them and quote the price there is a drawback to the price. When I was generally looking around for a flight to Alicante for my son about 6 weeks ago, I found this what seemed a really good deal, £49 return!!! I rang Dial a flight and found that he would have had to travel first to Barcelona and then onto Alicante. A bit of a marathon for a short flight really, even though the price was brilliant. It does not mention these things on the web site. However I am actually writing an op on the telephone service so...

Review of Dial A Flight

The Duffle Bag Boyz Take Flight

Advantages: A few big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...The duo of Tity Boi and Dolla Boy (known collectively as Playaz Circle) brought ?Flight 360: The Takeoff? as their second album in 2009. It finds them showing how they are able to represent Ludacris? Disturbing Tha Peace crew with another album packed with them offering more hardcore Dirty South Rap material. The Atlanta duo?s first hit was in 2007 with the Lil? Wayne-assisted ?Duffle Bag Boy? and they come to work with both him, Bobby Valentino and even Raekwon this time around. 1. ?Turbulence? (Intro) 2. ?Look What I Got? After coming off a heavy introductory piece, you see that they dive into a hardcore track and one of the most impactful on the album as they link up with Korleone (of Houston, Texas), and the Texans influence leads to them doing a Chopped & Screwed-inspired joint to take it right down to those ends for one...
