How has Technology Affected Air Travel?

Aviation Insider

Air travel has changed a lot since the first commercial aircraft took flight in 1914 where a mayor traveled in Florida for 21 miles on a paid seat. Everything changes with time and so did commercial aviation. There was a time when people use to read newspapers or magazines to keep them occupied. Now we have entertainment systems installed and have Wi-Fi services enabled in domestic airlines too. We have better aircraft and friendly cabin crew. Everything has changed about commercial aviation and now the focus is more on customer service and security. All of this happened due to the digitization of commercial aviation. Air travel was the first one to get digitized amongst all kind of travel services. Let’s see the impacts of digitization on commercial aviation and how is it helping customers.

5 Fun and Unique Ways to Kill Time at the Airport 

Travel Like a Pro

Flying is time-consuming for both frequent flyers and first timers. And the time spent at the airport can be boring especially if you are travelling solo. We usually end up spending most of our time on our phone or sleeping if possible. Here are some unique and fun ways to kill time at the airport. 

  1.  Social Networking at the Airport

 Instead of being engrossed in your phone with virtual people why not find another person who is waiting for his or her flight and strike up a conversation.  You never know, you may end up making a new friend or even find love. 

Not only will this improve your social skills but will also boost your confidence. All in all, there is no harm in trying it and the hours of waiting could just disappear in good company.

Your destination needs to be smartly chosen. Avoid extremely hot regions like Rajasthan that have the desert climate. Also, avoid places that require too much sightseeing as that could be really hectic on a hot summer day.
Goa, Kerala, Pondicherry are also quite hot but the advantage of beach destinations is that the sea will cool you off.. Hill stations are the best in summer because it is cooler there and you can actually take a few days off from the scorching heat of the sun and lose yourself amidst the hills.
It is also a great idea to choose a place which has a lot of greenery, like national parks or forests. It may be humid there, but truly speaking the greenery will win your heart and rejuvenate your soul in any season of the year.
