Re-evaluating Commercial Flight Issues

When ask if travelers really enjoy flying, you might be hard pressed to find very many honest people. Most really enjoy the actual moving through the air flying, but not the entire process that happens before and after the act of flying. The parking lot, ticket counter, pre-flight hoops and a host of other inconveniences are making this process more and more difficult.

Security, as most travelers would agree, is there for the safety of all who choose to fly to their destination. But must we endure the activities leading up to the flight with a uncommon dread of what we have learned to expect that involves nothing friendly or easy. Does air travel really need to be presented to its passengers this way? Why shouldn't every phase of flying be a pleasurable experience?

Finding and eliminating inefficiencies will not only lead to greater profits without the amusement park atmosphere, but most passengers will pay for the extra added values. We all routinely look for good deals before spending our money, but in certain situations, this could easily add problems to the situation. Airlines, because of stiff competition, are forced to trim the passengers choice of necessary items as well as find shortcuts in their daily operations and never achieve anything closely resembling streamlining.

Value, as it turns out is something most people will pay a few extra dollars for, especially if they can see that the extra dollars is making a change to better the whole flying experience. Time, speed, efficiency of the flight, comfort and convenience are all necessary commodities when flying and holds a very high importance level to commuters. If any of these necessities are compromised by cuts, customers will be forced to find other ways to reach their destinations, thus making a bad situation worse for the airlines.

Flying isn't supposed to be super cheap, you are paying for the convenience of getting to where ever you are going faster and easier. That is why you fly somewhere, also to get to places that you can't drive. So look at the things that can be improved. Make the process easier for the customer. How about combining check-in with baggage drop off from parking lots that are dedicated to an individual airline. Park in the Delta lot and everything flows through the Delta services without mixing with anyone else?
