Herd behavior at the gate
Numerous studies have been made of the boarding process. Not only airlines have looked at possibilities for improvements, but also scientists. Interestingly, many carriers change the boarding processes every now and then, but they never really improve it.
Passengers in economy class have very little personal space and can hardly move and breathe once they have squeezed themselves into narrow seats. They have also hardly legroom due to the very short pitch (distance between rows). Thus, one would expect that passengers would prefer to board as late as possible. An emotional support passenger
Emotional support animals are a typical American phenomenon. Those animals often cause a disruption in the cabin. A national survey of US flight attendants reveals that over 98% of all respondents worked a flight with at least 1 emotional support animal onboard in the last 24 months.

A company claims that time off to travel has proven to be the most effective way to use vacation days. Those who use the majority of their vacation days for travel are significantly happier than those who travel very little or not at all.
The company making this claim is United Airlines that - just by... Customer service no priority of LOT
One of our readers shares his experience with LOT Polish Airlines. He travels on a business class ticket from Amsterdam through Warsaw to Toronto. In Amsterdam he visits the lounge, but there is hardly any proper food. Thus, he trusts that he will get breakfast on the flight to Warsaw.
In the plane, however, he observes that every business class passenger is served breakfast with the exception of him. Thus, he asks a flight attendant why he does not get breakfast. She responds that LOT’s Amsterdam agent has instructed her... Follow us on Facebook and/or share your experiences
