How to Save on Airfare

The Internet has provided a revolution in the way people shop for airfares. What used to be the province only of connected travel agents is now the province of every Internet connected traveler. Recent studies have shown that online airfare shoppers visit more than three sites on average to shop for airfares.

What many of these online shoppers fail to realize is that simply comparing prices on different websites is not necessarily the best way to find reduced rates.

There are many tricks to finding lower rates that go beyond finding the right Internet sites.

First, all air travel should be booked more than thirty days in advance if possible. There are ways to get great last minute deals, but overall, the best way to get good deals on air travel is to purchase in advance.

Another way to get reduced airfares is to book all your trips during down seasons. The end of summer is a perfect example of a down season when. When possible, always book a trip during down times, regardless of when the trip occurs. Many people fail to realize that the price of a trip can be related to when it was purchased, not just how far in advance, but what the seasonal prices were at the time of purchase.

Many airfare shoppers are now using the Internet where various airlines rates and times are compared and contrasted. What they aren't aware of is that these rates do not always represent the lowest rates an airline provides. Currently, the best way to assure the lowest price is to call the airlines and ask them directly. Many times they will have deals that are only available to those who call in. Also, it is worthwhile to call just after midnight, as any specials for the day that have not sold out could still be available.

Generally speaking, prices in the middle of the week will be cheaper than prices at the end of the week, so trips from Wednesday to Wednesday are ideal.

When considering different airports, many people fail to take into account smaller airports serviced by players such as Southwest Airlines. Southwest flies into many ports that sound off the beaten path, but are in fact within close driving distances of major destination. For example, Southwest does not fly into Boston Logan or JFK, but they fly to Providence, RI, Manchester, NH and Long Island. Many times these airlines can get you nearly as close for a lot less money.

Finally, careful analysis of rewards systems and travel patterns will be the ultimate determining factor in whether an individual airline deserves your loyal patronage, or whether rate shopping makes most sense for you.

Fuselage Mounted Laser Vortex Enhancer Directed to Airfoils
DARPA has developed a small laser cannon, just like Star Wars to use as a weapon in a fighter plane for air to air combat, destroying enemy missiles or perhaps using a combination later on of Argon or CO2 (depending on altitude) for close air support. Recently it was announced that they would put this new airborne laser system onto fighter jets.

American Airlines; Crash: Nov. 12, 2001
It seems there were not many comments to the AA crash of November 2001, as soon as it was ruled an accident instead of an attack the media stopped the reports and the story disappeared. The years following have been the safest years in Airline Industry History.

Point to Point VS Spoke and Hub? Air Taxi
Boeing it is said took a big gamble in predicting the future of air travel. Instead of going bigger like Airbus and building an aircraft like the A380, the biggest airliner ever built; The Boeing Company decided to go for a more efficient smaller aircraft with better materials and better range.

Mexico to Manufacture Aircraft
It appears Mexico with its 120 million population is considering getting into the lucrative aviation manufacturing sector. Of course this will mean that they must acquire some expertise and some trading partners to sell to once they build these aircraft.

Hypersonic or Ultrasonic Sound to Disrupt Laser Beam Attack on Commercial Airliners
In large buildings to prevent sound pollution often double paned glass is used with music or flowing air between the panes, this works very well and is sufficient to prevent the noise. Since many commercial airliners have double paned glass already if we are careful to watch the harmonics as to not cause structural problems to the aircraft (remember the Comet), then we propose hypersound or ultrasonic sound within the panes to prevent laser light from entering the cockpit and inhibiting or blinding the pilots.

Airlines, Price Wars, and Branding
Here are some thoughts on the study of the theory of price wars as they relate to the industries like the Airlines and others. Comments on an article in Harvard Business Review in March-April edition 2000.

Airline Security; Stewardesses The Last Line Of Defense!
Introduction:It might come as a chock to many people, including the Stewardesses, but the fact remains that in today's Airline Industry, the Stewardess is the last line of defense!In the 11th of September terrorist attacks, on the WTC and Pentagon, the first victims were the Stewardesses. Savagely attacked by the terrorist on their way to the cockpit's and tortured to pressure pilots, to comply with the terrorists demands.

Airline Fuel Costs Mount
The airlines are huge users of fuel. Fuel costs are higher than even the cost of the aircraft.

Tactile Strip Sensors on Leading Edge of Material Memory Airfoils
Aircraft designers have always tried to figure out the best compromise for the aircraft they build, trying to get maximum performance at both high and low airspeeds. Now with material memory components they will be able to do this.

Airport Noise Reduction

You know those airbags in your car? Did you know they are very similar in nature to the airbags deployment system used to crash land the Mars rover on the surface of Mars? Did you know that one company is making external airbags for helicopters and rotorcraft? It's all true. There are critical altitudes for helicopters incase of engine failure, altitudes that if the engine quits the helicopter will come crashing to the ground.

Downed Pilots Hibernating From the Enemy
