Dual level cabin

One of the most intriguing concepts on the Judges' Choice shortlist is the Chaise Longue Economy Seat Project, which envisages a dual-level seat cabin, with each row alternating between on-floor seating, and seats elevated a few meters above ground.

Mechanics battle to keep rattlesnakes off parked planes

 

Battling rattlesnakes may not be in the job description for an airline mechanic, but it's become a regular fight in Southern California.

 

As millions of Americans take to the skies for the busy summer travel season, thousands of planes remain in desert storage facilities due to the downturn in international travel.

 

The non-use has led Qantas Airlines mechanics charged with maintaining the world's largest passenger jets in a Victorville storage facility two hours outside of Los Angeles to routinely find venomous Mojave rattlesnakes and scorpions in and around the wheel wells.

Early flight out of ABIA? Get to Austin airport 3 hours before takeoff

 

If you’ve got an early flight from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, you should get there early, officials say.

 

In a Facebook post on Saturday, airport officials said passenger traffic is starting to return to pre-pandemic levels, and especially during the early morning rush from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., people should expect delays.

 

“As a result of the increase, many passengers are experiencing increased wait times at both ticket counters when checking in and at airport security checkpoints,” airport officials said.

 

They are advising travelers, especially those with early flights, to get to the airport at least three hours before their flight. They also want travelers with flights later in the morning, after 8 a.m., not to get to the airport too early and cause further congestion.

 

Officials say arriving two hours before flights after 8 a.m. should be sufficient.

SEE IT: Standby Passengers At Center Of Miami International Airport Brawl

 

One person is charged with disorderly conduct following a brawl at Miami International Airport which was captured on video and has since gone viral.

 

Miami-Dade Police have identified him as Jameel Decquir, one of several people involved in the chaos on concourse D, gate 12, in the American Airlines terminal.

 

The passengers were waiting on their flight to Chicago when a group of people started fighting after being told there were just three standby seats available for their party of four.

 

A witness told CBSMiami.com there was some back and fourth with the agent and then the agent asked the next group of 3 if they wanted to go.

 

The first group of 4 at the counter and the next group of 3, exchanged some words which led to a push and that’s when the fists started to fly.

Delta flight forced to divert after 'unruly passenger' detained by passengers and crew

 

A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to divert Friday because of an unruly passenger, the latest incident in an uptick of poor passenger behavior across airlines.

 

Videos posted to Twitter show a scuffle near the front of Delta Flight 1730 from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Delta spokesman Eric Zeugschmidt said crew and passengers helped detain the "unruly passenger," and the aircraft landed “without incident" in Oklahoma. The passenger was removed by law enforcement.

In a different article about the event above, they reported this nugget:

 

Quote

In a typical year, the transportation agency sees 100 to 150 formal cases of bad passenger behavior. But since the start of this year through early May, the agency said the number of cases has jumped to 1,300, an even more remarkable number since the number of passengers remained below pre-pandemic levels.

 

People are losing their minds.

They said on the news this morning that almost all of the current passenger rowdiness is related to wearing masks.

And thanks to these assholes, most airlines still aren't serving alcohol in non business/first class seating.

I was on a United flight from Denver to San Diego last week. A couple in their 50s wore masks with sheep on them and baa’d loudly any time a flight attendant came within earshot. How the flight crew didn’t murder them, I will never understand...

Before the pandemic, I was flying ALOT both in country and internationally, and I have HUGE respect for flight attendants all over the world...the **** they put up with is insane.

These Are The Definitive Rules For Airplane Armrest Allocation

 

You may have been hearing that as people are coming out of their COVID-induced confinement and taking once again to the skies, in-flight incidents of fights, arguments, crazy scenes and general unruly behavior are at surprisingly high levels. While some of these are mask- and booze-related, there’s still classic in-flight conflict subjects like armrest allocation. The thing about armrest territorial disputes is that this should be a very solved problem. In case you somehow aren’t aware, I’m going to remind of of the Armrest Rules right now.

 

The need for this was made clear to me by a recent incident where an actual physical fight broke out because of an armrest/elbow control conflict:

 

 

These are the rules:
