A romantic week in Beijing

Posted by on Jul-15-2010

My girlfriend and I have been together for two years and so far everything about our relationship has been great. We both get on so well and we never argue. I wanted to take her away to somewhere really special to show her what she meant to me, and I had been saving up in secret for some time to be able to afford to take her away.

Neither of us were particularly well off, which was a shame because we both had a passion for the finer things in life, but sometimes it is actually nicer to do the good stuff only occasionally, because you tend to enjoy it more when it comes around. This was why I wanted to take her somewhere really special for our holiday. We had never been anywhere together before because neither of us saw the point in staying for a week in Bognor Regis!

I decided to have a look online to see if I could find any decent flights because I thought that I had probably saved up enough pennies to be able to take us somewhere pretty nice. After searching about for a bit I found some flights to Beijing which were really very reasonably priced indeed. This was great news because I had heard my girlfriend talking about Beijing quite a few times before. I have to say that I had thought in the past that it would be a great place to visit and here was my chance! I decided to go for broke and I booked the tickets and tell my girlfriend that night. She was absolutely thrilled and she said that it was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for her! I told her that if she thought this was romantic then she had better wait for the holiday!

T+L’s Guide to Air Travel 2009

Posted by on Aug-8-2009

The feelings of air travelers right now can be summed up in one simple phrase: We’re mad as hell and…unfortunately we’re going to have to take it some more. These days the only thing more frustrating than flying—what with hidden fees, shrinking legroom, and slashed routes—is the infuriating realization that we travelers and the airlines are stuck with each other, at least until someone finally patents a functioning jet pack. (Really, what’s taking so long?)

Suspend your indignation for a moment and consider all this from their perspective. The airline industry is projecting $9 billion in worldwide losses this year, as costs climb and demand plummets. Between April 2008 and April 2009, overall passenger volume dropped by 11.5 percent. Carriers are responding by cutting flights (down 8.5 percent during the same period), reconfiguring cabins and classes (mostly for the worse but occasionally for the better), and, most egregiously, imposing wily new fees. Then again, why wouldn’t they? U.S. airlines collected half a billion dollars in excess-baggage fees in the final quarter of 2008 alone.

On the plus side, fares have remained relatively steady. According to industry analyst airlinefinancials.com, in 2008 the average cost for a one-way ticket on Delta was $192, this year it’s $199. And the launch of new carriers and service has brought fares down to record lows along certain routes. However, more service cuts are due this fall—reducing flights by an additional 9 percent, according to aviation-consulting firm the Boyd Group International. As capacity diminishes, standard tickets prices will surely rise. That said, airlines will be as eager as ever to fill seats—particularly in first and business class—so you’re still likely to find last-minute deals.

In some ways flying has actually become easier—for the simple fact that fewer people are doing it. Mishandled luggage declined by 23 percent in 2008. Flight delays decreased by about 5 percent year-on-year through March 2009. And security lines are commensurately shorter. “Airports are a lot less crowded, so you won’t find the chaos that characterized last year,” says Kevin Mitchell, chairman of the Business Travel Coalition, a consumer-rights organization. For travelers, that’s at least a silver lining in some decidedly cloudy skies.
