Airplane Boarding Ways - MythBusters Busts Age-old Myth

Airplanes have been boarding passengers pretty much the same way for decades now. One would believe, that they have thought about it, and use it because it's, well, efficient. Turns out, it's not really the case!

Mythbusters.com examined this, and other aircraft boarding ways, and found some interesting results.

Or read the post here.

Well, hopefully, most airlines can improve and make travel for the passengers better, especially the wait at the boarding gate!

Innovation for Better Airline Seating Experience - The Paperclip Armrest (and more)

One of the most common grouse of airplane travel, and more so, if you are left with no choice but choosing an economy cabin seat, and more so, a middle seat in a row, is that there's hardly any room to place your arms! (We're not even talking of the leg space here). It's a constant tug, between your two neighbours and while most folks are polite enough to not start a brawl, it's an experience they would rather not have.

Well, after years of noticing this, a team of creative designers, have apparently created a new design for the armrest - the Paperclip Armrest.

The unique, patented design of the two-level armrest is smart, and once you've seen it, you wonder why it wasn't thought of years ago! Anyways, kudos to the team from HongKong which designed this, and we wish them the best, as well as hope that the next generation of aircraft (and potentially other transportation means) could see this form in the near future.

And, if you thought this innovation was smart, here's more that aim to improve the overall airplane experience for travelers.Happy flying, once more.
