I tried to think what would surprise him or what I’d not understand if I´d be flying for my first time:

1.     As soon as I got to the plane, I was surprise by first and business class, which was a good promotion for the big and comfortable sits that I couldn’t find in economics.

2.     Then they asked me to turn off any electronic device and they said that I couldn’t use my cell phone, however they charged earphone, beverages and food with credit cards, which use the same signal than phones I thought…

3.     I understood how important the security message was, however I did not understand why they told me 4 times  to don’t smoke during the flight. If there is a fine and very clear signs, why don´t let people to smoke and pay the US$2500 fine? Can you imagine the other passengers if someone tries to turn a cigarette on in a plane?

Then I started thinking with the experience of having flown more than ever before during last year. I found there’re three different kinds of airlines:

• Big, old and classic, where we can include American Airlines, Delta, United or most of the flag airlines.
• Big and modern, where we can include Virgin and some flag airlines like Air New Zealand or Singapore Airlines.
• Low cost airlines, from Ryan Air to Southwest.

Big and modern airlines have some advantages respect the big, old and classic airlines. They have younger employees, what means they pay less benefits and they have modern airplanes, those modern airplanes are much more fuel-efficient than the old Boing 747-300 so they can compete on services and price.

Have a safe flight and please don´t smoke.
