Anyone who’s ever flown is likely all too familiar and annoyed with the sensation of their ears popping at 30,000 feet. Having your ears pop mid-flight is anything but pleasant. Why does this happen, and what can you do to prevent it from happening? The short answer is that our ears pop due to changes […]
While flying has numerous advantages, it might also require someone to be stationary for an extended period of time. It is important to keep the feet and legs comfortable. This can be done with an inflatable footrest; however, are these allowed? Do Airlines Allow Inflatable Footrests? The short answer is that “it depends.” Most airlines do […]
Once upon a time, flight was experimental and every flight was full of risk. Thankfully, we have reached the point where traveling by plane really is the statistically safest way to travel. Still, no manner of travel is 100% safe, which begs the question – which flight routes are most dangerous? One of the most […]
Flights can already be stressful enough for passengers who have to worry about getting to their gate on time and suffering through stuffy cabins on long turbulent flights – do we really have to add radiation to our list of airborne worries?

It’s easier than ever to take to the skies, hop across the Pond, and live the Transatlantic lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of – albeit with a few bumps along the way. The flight path between New York and London is among the world’s busiest – and most turbulent flight routes in the world. If you’ve […]

After seeing different numbers on the same type of fare, I became intrigued and wanted to know exactly what the flight codes on the ticket mean. I took a deep dive into types of flight classes and codes, and the results are […]
Perhaps the one area we’re all interested in when we get on an airplane is the type and size of the seat we’ll be sitting on, because let’s face it, there are all types of plane seats available, but not all of them are the same. Each airplane has its own type of seats, and […]
If you’re getting ready to get on a plane and hope to watch some movies once you get in the air, it is natural for you to wonder if your airplane will have power outlets for you to use. After all, how boring would a flight be if all you had to do was stare […]
