Air Travel – Ways to Spend a Flight Enjoyably and Productively
Posted on | December 20, 2009 | 9 Comments
Now a days traveling from one place to other place is more regular. People are running more frequently using buses, trains and flights. But for business purpose and for covering long distances it is convenient and less time consuming if one uses a flight to travel. Because of high travel needs airline travel is regarded as a necessary evil today. Security checks, lost luggage, cramped seating, and ever-vanishing services are slowly becoming a norm these days. With slight attitude adjustment and some simple suggestions, one can transform a burdensome flight into a few much-needed hours of productivity and personal betterment. There are so many things which anyone can do while in an airplane.
1) There’s nothing wrong with pleasure reading. This type of reading does little to enhance or better our minds. Plenty of leisure reading material like comic books, throwaway romance novels, and issues of magazines etc are available on airplanes.
2) The best and most convenient way to sharpen your mind while a person is sitting idle during flights are Sudoku puzzles and MENSA riddles. Sudoku puzzles are actually logic based number placement puzzles available in booklets, or newspapers, or else one can find them in his own laptop. Sudoku puzzles or MENSA riddles provide mental stimulation and activity on the flight.
3). All of us don’t have time to sit down and figure out the things happening in our life but since a person is going to be sitting still for hours on an airplane, he can do it. One should identify what periods of time are his most productive and happy hours, and try to maximize the time spent in those areas. One should think about how he can spend his days in a more satisfying way.
4) Life is very busy, traveling businessman or woman doesn’t have much time for personal reflection. The hours spent sitting still on an airplane can be used for this purpose. One can think about his life, his relationships, goals, or hobbies, whatever it is that which makes him happy. One should reflect on his place in the world, where he is going and where he has been already. If possible one should ask himself if there is anything he needs to do that he is not doing. Try to grab a window seat if possible, and try to let your mind go free like a bird. Write down what ever comes to your mind and by the time you land exciting realizations will take over your mind.

1. Encashing frequent flyer miles is one of my favorite methods to get discount air tickets on subsequent purchases.
2. Online travel services like Orbitz, Travelocity and BookingBuddy allow customers to choose selected flights whenever deeper discounts become available. Other services such as Priceline may allow customers to bid for lower price airline tickets, but they can also require immediate purchase of those tickets or a much more flexible schedule.
3. If you belong to an auto club, or to Sam’s Club or Costco, it is helpful to compare rates there too. Companies like AAA or Costco sometimes offer the best prices for plane tickets online or offline.
4. A travel agency is a time-tested source for discount air tickets. Here the agent can negotiate a package deal to lower the price of airline tickets as long as a specific hotel or car rental is booked.
5. A major airline sometimes uses discounts to encourage the use of its low-price commuter service. Occasionally airlines compete for business through 'fare wars', which may lower the price of tickets by as much as 40%.
The key is to look out for those little-known ways you can travel for cheap without having to forgo the 'luxuries'.

Try Expedia.com . I fly to Europe several times a year and they usually have the lowest prices when I'm looking. Other things you can do to get a lower price…try to fly between Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends are higher. Avoid traveling near a major holiday, if possible. Search for tickets at any time of day if you can be flexible. Certain times of day are more expensive than others. Are you heading to a particular city in Europe or just anywhere cheap? London often has very good flight prices but it's expensive once you get there. There are some budget carriers in Europe that you might be able to use if you are planning to travel around after you arrive. Check out http://www.ryanair.com , http://www.easyjet.com and http://www.bmibaby.com These might allow you to fly to whatever European city you find good fares to and then cheaply move to another location. It's often cheaper that way than booking a US carrier into a less-traveled destination.

For the purposes of buying airline tickets, those kids are considered adults. You did not indicate your origin or destination city but check the following sites:
southwest.com
jetblue.com
orbitz.com
kayak.com

You don't really have much of a choice for domestic air travel in Vietnam, either Pacific Airlines or Vietnam Airlines are your best (and only) options. Air Asia, a large budget airline in Asia is planning on beginning domestic service in the future, but it's still a ways off, but that should help to bring down the costs and provide more options, but for now there isn't much of a choice. You can check online, but is easily arranged once you get to Saigon.

cheaptickets.com…. travelocity.com…. expedia.com..the old standby, priceline.com
CAREFUL… cheap means no changes or you pay huge fees to adjust your travel days! Make real sure the schedule you're buying is one you can actually use…

I have found that the cheapest way is generally by check the airlines page or hotel page, and yahoo travel seem to be the cheapest.
