DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

It's safe to say there has been a much talk about the commercial airline industry in the last ten years.

A lot of people are afraid to travel by plane because of what happened in New York City in 2001, and that is sure an reasonable fear. Some people state it's safer than ever to fly now, and yet some state that the improvements they have made in security
really don't work.

When considering travelling by plane somewhere, one really shouldn't think too much about that but instead you should worry about airline ratings. Basically you want to be certain your chosen airline will take care of you while you are in the air.

Consider, it doesn't matter which airline company you choose to travel with, you will still must go through the security at the airport. In the end that's not something the airline handles. In short it means you should focus your security concerns on how the airport operates, and think about airline ratings when you wonder how nice your flight will be.

This is indeed very important when you're going on a very long flight, but without a doubt you like the greatest comfort even when you're only going to in the air for an hour or two.

So, there are a few specific things you should think about when looking for airline ratings. Personally the most significant might be enough room for legs.
This is a thing that has irritated airline travelers for years, and some airlines are indeed worse than others. Of course you cannot expect to be able to stretch out full in coach seats, but on the other hand shouldn't have to sit with your knees up in your chest either.

Other things to note with regards to airline ratings are reliability in take off times, quality of food, and types of entertainment options they may have if any.
Even if you personally don't care about, say the food, they are of value because they do tell you something about the airline that you should helps gicing you a full picture.

Another thing about airline ratings is of course how staff treats you. May people also take into consideration factors
like the prices of drinks, and what exactly is included in the price.

Last don't miss to look at customer service if you may need to reschedule your flight or you even miss a flight.
A lof of people take their travels very seriously, and there's no reason why one shouldn't.
