Dear Frequent Flyer,
Welcome to the new quarterly magazine format of the Airguide for the Frequent Flyer. I can hardly believe it has been six years since we started publishing the Airguide annually and the Airguide Online weekly at www.AirguideOnline.com and our team began roaming the planet in search of all the best in the world of air travel.
Airguide is the result of a personal journey. I was born during the dawn of the jet age with the BOAC Comets and started flying regularly at a very young age. Global travel has changed enormously since I started flying as a young boy. I can safely say I have flown on almost every imaginable airline and commercial aircraft since. For decades I have taken almost every flight and class from supersonic to no frills or commuter airlines and eaten filet mignon with great wines or absolutely nothing except maybe some stale peanuts. This experience developed in me a passion and curiosity for air travel. I felt the need for a publication focused on air travel essential in this present climate of confusion, created by so much choice when planning a voyage.
Trotting the globe is not as easy as it used to be, and the last two years have been bumpy, even for seasoned business travelers. We went from two years ago, with busy airports and overbooked flights, to the events of fall 2001. Followings these events were the bankruptcies of several airlines, and the changes were dramatic, and in many cases permanent. The crowds left, airlines reduced flights, and prices fell back into the realistic range. We have also seen the psychology of flying changed from each passenger being selfish to one of team spirit. Air transport and travel professionals have responded to this new environment with a host of changes and enhancements to keep our lives on the road safe, sane and productive.
Our goal at Airguide Magazine and Airguide Online is to provide you with indispensable information on all the world's airlines and airports from check-in to check out. We are dedicated to air travel and designed to provide the knowledge and information to turn the rather mundane routine of air travel to a smoother and pleasurable experience, where you enjoy the process rather than suffer through it. As you can see in the following pages, the smartest airlines are responding to your needs with more legroom and comforts to keep you happy and loyal.
This issue of the Airguide begins with the latest air travel news, travel advice and the What's Hot and What's Not section. We feature an overview of the various airline classes, flight and food reviews, Internet travel sites and the services of the world's major airlines from A to Z. We follow that with our survey of airline seating in all classes. The last section in the magazine contains quick reference tables to enable you to compare some of the services provided by the air carriers.
Our next issue will feature a survey on frequent flyer and fidelity programs by Airguide 's seasoned international team, plus feature articles in a section called Inside Air Travel. We survey all year the world's airlines and airports, including all the services and classes they offer, including flights, seating, food, on board entertainment, airport lounges and of course their frequent flyer programs. We also feature lots of passenger input about their likes and dislikes, to bring our audience the most complete air travel information available in the world.
www.AirguideOnline.com is the magazine's online source for global air travel. In addition to all the content found in the magazine, Airguide Online is updated weekly, giving you international airline and travel news, the latest deals, feature articles, detailed practical information, telephone numbers, and lots of useful We b links.
