Ten Sneaky Little Airline Secrets Revealed

By Shania Brendon

The Huffington Post has managed the tedious task of interviewing a number of pilots and flight attendants who have very generously ‘spilled the beans’ on a number of quirky little airline secrets. So here goes:

1. You Don’t Always Have to Suffer Economy Class:

Once the flight takes-off the crew can decide if you are worthy of an upgrade to Business or First class! No, it’s not done often, reports need to filed on why you were upgraded and also there should be a meal allocated to you, after all who needs first class travel without a meal! The crew have a very simple criteria for selecting the lucky passenger. You have to be very nice, extremely good looking, well dressed or very tall! Sorry, no slobs are up-graded.

2. In-Flight the Captain Has Sole Authority:

That’s right! Once the flight takes off the captain is in charge. This interesting tit bit reveals the captain can take the will of a dying passenger and write fines. While he legally cannot ‘arrest’ passengers anyone being unruly can be detained and handed over to the authorities. Who will be waiting at the required destination on the captains orders.

3. Stolen Naps are Common Amongst Pilots:

Over 40%-50% of pilots surveyed from countries like UK, Norway and Sweden admitted to taking a nap mid-flight. Not as alarming as it sounds. Pilots are allocated rest periods in-between long flights where the co-pilot takes over. However some did admit to some un-scheduled napping!

4. Hey! Those Lavatories are Not so Private:

Don’t ever think of barricading yourself in the lavatory mid-flight. There’s a lock on the outside of the lavatory door! On most planes it’s hidden under the No-Smoking sign. Simply move the sign and slide the latch to open, oops!

5. Someone Else Has Used Your Blanket:

It’s true, the blankets and pillows are not always fresh. They were with the initial flight of the day. However on corresponding flights they are simply re-bagged and put in the bin. This fact is not as shocking as the revelation that the food tray only gets wiped down once a day! That’s right never place your food directly on the tray which most likely had a used diaper sitting on it before.

6. Quench Your Thirst:

Half a glass of cola is just not enough to quench your parched throat? Go ahead ask the flight attendant for the whole can of soda, in most cases they will be happy to oblige. Probably saves them the task of refilling your glass.

7. Only Water from a Bottle, Please!

A rather disturbing fact, Wall Street Journal conducted a test in 2002, in which the on-board water of over 14 various airlines was tested and found to have bacteria levels way over the US Government standards. This shocking revelation is partly attributed to the fact that some airlines have the lavatory disposal valve and fresh water valves close to each other and are sometimes serviced by the same person.

Stick to only bottled water please!

8. Pilots Don’t Eat the Same Meals:

Although it’s not regulation most airlines practice the policy of serving the pilots two different meals. This is in case one causes food poisoning, so no sharing please. This is quite a comforting fact to know that both pilots are not going to be taken down by one hard-core meal!

9. Only 15 minutes of Oxygen, folks!

Once that oxygen mask drops down you have just 15 minutes of air. Don’t panic, because that’s all the time the pilot needs to get the aircraft to a lower altitude where the air is breathable. Regulations stipulate that as soon as the mask comes down the pilot must descend to lower altitudes and generally 10 to 20 minutes is all it takes depending on the planes altitude and depressurising.

10. Hey, Sleepy-Head No Meals for You!

A rather sneaky revelation, some flight attendants admitted to holding-off meal services until some passengers have fallen asleep. The simple reason being, that they then have less running around during meal times.

World Best Airport announces its plans to keep getting better

By: Shania Brendon
Singapore’s Changi Airport was crowned the best airport in the world at the 2013 Skytrax World Airport Awards in Geneva.  The airport has consistently maintained its reputation for its extremely attentive passenger experience. However, just when we thought the airport has everything the passengers’ need, the country keeps surprising us. Recently, Singapore has announced its major expansion plans to add a much impressive facility to its airport such that it will improve passenger experience by providing larger passenger capacity and entertainment facilities.

Singapore’s upscale new addition plan is named the “Project Jewel” and is designed by the popular architect – Moshe Safdie, the man behind the artistic Marina Bay Sands. The Project jewel covers a transformation of a 3.5 hectare plot of land that would be given a mixed architectural look featuring restaurants, shops, massive indoor garden with a waterfall. The project jewel would be completed and scheduled to be opened in 2018. In addition, the Terminal 1 of Changi Airport would be expanded for more space for other facilities such as larger arrival hall, baggage claims and taxi bays while it loses a car park.

The Jewel will be the ultimate world-class destination of glass and steel which undoubtedly would capture the hearts of everyone from the moment they arrive in Singapore. Changi Airport has seamlessly connected the passengers to over 270 cities across the globe and has been one of the favourite airports. Henceforth, upon completion of the project jewel, Changi Airport will definitely be second to none.

Important things to carry while travelling

By: Shania Brendon
Travelling is always fun. Exploring new places and enjoying your vacation to the fullest is what we all look forward to during the year. There may be a majority who literally live to travel and often tend to make spontaneous travel plans especially when they see some great deals from travel agents who offer cheap flights to favourite destinations. When travel is spontaneous, we do not usually give enough thought with regards to what you need to carry along while you travel. If you do not have the important stuff, then there is always a possibility that you would regret the entire planned holiday – so why be disappointed?

Be wise and plan ahead by keeping a comprehensive list of things which you should definitely carry with you while travelling. The following list would assist you for your next travel

1)    Passport, Itinerary and other travel documents

Your passport and itinerary are definitely the first things you should have in hand – ofcourse you wouldn’t be able to get through the departure terminal without them. In addition, other travel documents such as proof of hotel booking, travel insurance and driving licence or ID will be important for a peaceful holiday.

2)    Money, Money and Money!

Carry with you some cash as well as ATM, debit or credit cards. It is always safe to have some local currency of the destination you are travelling to. It would come in handy when you have to pay for cab from the airport or grab a meal once you have landed. Further tip would be to split the cash you are carrying amongst your friends or family who are travelling with you – just in case a robbery happens, you will still have some handy cash.

3)    Clothes – “comfort before fashion”

Depending on the destination you are travelling to, grab the clothes you will need. It is always wise to carry a bikini or swimsuit and heaps of underwear. Furthermore, grab more comfortable clothes than fashionable ones as well as other accessories such as sunglasses, overcoats, hats, flip flops – this would enable you to enjoy your holiday more.

4)    Gadgets

Holidays should be always memorable and you should always keep these memories forever. This is why you will NEED a camera when you travel anywhere to remember, cherish and share the memories of each holiday. Along with you camera, make sure you carry the charger and at least one multi-plug. IPADS, IPODS and laptops are other important gadgets few travellers like to bring along.

5)    First AID and toiletries

If you are travelling with kids and trekking, racing or other adventurous activities are in your itinerary, then a first AID kit will always be useful to carry. In addition, ensure you carry other important toiletries such as toothbrush, body creams, wipes and tissue papers.
