Good morning, everyone. Today, I’d like to talk about a new model of corporate business travel by air. Let’s first look at premium class at lower prices. Two airlines, Alaska Air and America West, have drastically revised their fare structure which means greater availability of first-class seats at sharply reduced prices. Another carrier, AirTran, is eliminating its commuter-jet operation and will soon be flying the regional routes with Boeing 717s equipped with AirTran’s spacious, business-class service. And a fourth, all-coach ATA Airlines, is equipping its entire fleet of jets with business-class cabins.
Domestic premium-class travel is enjoying a substantial rebound this year. However, there is no simple, surefire way to find low-priced first-class service or business-class seats. Your best bet is to check with your travel agent or corporate travel adviser and ask if there is a reasonably priced premium-class option on your next flight. You’ll be surprised to learn that a seat up front now often costs less than a trip in coach.
Next is more long-haul nonstop service. While the rest of the airline industry struggles to regain its financial equilibrium, one segment of travel is undoubtedly entering its golden age. Thanks to a new wave of long-haul jets such as the Airbus A340-500, international carders are launching a raft of non-stop flights between the United States and distant global outposts of world commerce.
The long-haul parade began in February when Singapore Airlines began flying nonstop between Los Angeles and Singapore. The 18.5-hour flight, the world’s longest nonstop, cuts up to 3 hours off the previous connecting flying time between California and Singapore. To accommodate the very long flying time, Singapore Airlines has crafted its in-flight service accordingly. The A340-500s on the route feature just 64 seats in Singapore’s sybaritic Raffles business class and only 117 seats in the airline’s upgraded coach cabin. Each cabin also has its own in-flight lounge where passengers can meet, mingle, relax and wile away the flying time.
Another breakthrough in long-haul travel comes from Emirates, which later this year will launch nonstop flights from New York and San Francisco to its hub in Dubai. Emirates, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates and one of the world’s most respected air-lines, has equipped its A340-500 jets with three cabins. Most notable is the airline’s first-class service, which will offer passengers private rooms with closing doors. Each room will offer a plush seat that turns into a roomy, flat bed, extensive in-flight entertainment options, ample storage areas and a button to summon in-flight room service. Other notable new long-haul routes are debuting this year: Cathay Pacific’s nonstop flights between New York’s Kennedy airport and its Hong Kong hub; Qantas’ nonstop service between Los Angeles and Brisbane; and Air New Zealand’s launch of flights between San Francisco and Auckland.
As stringent security measures clog up airport ticket counters and check-in desks, major U. S. airlines have responded with what could be the ultimate post-9. 11 amenities: Internet check-in and print-them-yourself boarding passes.
The systems allow travelers to check in electronically for a flight via the airline’s Website as much as 24 hours before a flight’s scheduled departure. After checking in, travelers can then print out their own boarding passes right off the Web. Accomplishing these two routine tasks on the Internet means that travelers can reduce their airport waiting time and avoid the crash of passengers at airline ticket counters and check-in kiosks.
