The plight of flight

The only thing that is omnipresent today is change. This is the reason that the airline industry has been thinking in the most creative fashion possible. Despite that this industry has seen many ups and downs such as cut-throat rivalry, overcapacity, commoditization of offerings, staff issues, and under-performance and the decreasing satisfaction level. It’s not at all surprising that this industry is rated as one of the worst performing industries in the Fortune Global 500 rankings.
The number of flights that fly daily or on festival season has seen a tremendous reduction, all at the passenger’s expense. The experiences of people with cancelled and seriously delayed or the refusal to offer any credit for cancelled flights is disheartening. And of course no there is no account of your time that has been wasted during this procedure. If you are a frequent traveller you must have experience at least one of the following problems: your first flight was delayed and you were unable to make the second connection, therefore the second flight left without you, the flight travels to your destination only once a week in which the seat is usually not available, you are not able to cancel your refundable tickets without parting away with a major chunk of your money, your bag that was marked as fragile arrives at the belt upside down or sometimes they even forget to load your luggage in your aircraft.
Some of the places where these planes land that is our so-called airports can put the country to shame. The cleanliness is usually a big question mark. The long queues, little availability of shops, uncooperative staff, shortage of comfortable seats and rudest immigrants can land us in uncomfortable situations. Some of the airports are so outdated that it looks as if you have travelled back to history. There are some airports that will give us the feeling of the railway station where people are unrolling their mats and there is utter chaos.
If you are wondering what went wrong with your flying experience there are so many people that are to be blamed: strenuous trek to the airport, check-in queues, and the hot, dirty and crowded aeroplanes. The journey which was supposed to enjoy has now become a thing of tolerance. The civility among the travellers has gone down tremendously. The passenger continuously fights for every inch of space available; the travellers prevent people seated in front of them from reclining. The potentially inconsiderate and uncivil seatmates around you will surely make your travel more unpleasant. The congested seating arrangements will force you to inhale the smell of banana someone is eating or sit beside someone who is sneezing without covering their mouth and there is a baby crying and sometimes you have to endure all the kicks because the child sitting behind you thinks that your seat is a football. The suffocation increases the level of frustration that has now become extremely common during takeoffs and landings.
The airfare, of course, adds productivity to these deals but are the airports maintaining the standard that they should? Are the pre-purchase services provided by these providers sufficient and good?
