air travel

For those of us who are lucky enough to travel to far off places on our planet, whether it is for business or pleasure, the flight can prove a nightmare, especially if you suffer from a disability. With more planes being designed to fly further such as the 777ER (extended range), and Boeing developing an aircraft that can fly so far it will not require a hub, so no changing planes, our flight time in the same cramped seat is getting longer.

Some people obviously have the money to fly Business Class or First Class, which gives you more comfort, but for the majority of disabled travellers, we are packed up like freight in economy.

You can start from the point of when you book your flight. The majority of long haul operators will not allow you to book seats in advance, so you can end up being seated anywhere on the day of your flight. The best thing to do here is as soon as your flight is confirmed, is search the airlines web site for the internal seating plan for the aircraft you will be on, and note down the reference numbers for those seats that are only doubles, as these tend to have the most leg room, and are usually situated close to a toilet.

Once you have done that, contact the company concerned informing them that you are disabled, state what your disabilities are, and tell them that it would help your health tremendously if they could reserve the seats you noted earlier.

Another helpful tip when you contact the airline is to ask them for a ‘special’ meal. All airlines now do these, and range from salt free to meat free, fish only to carbohydrate only, etc. You will usually find a list of these on the airlines web site, so check first, if you are unable to find it, just ask them for the list.

The reason you do this is that these ‘special meals’ are handed out before the normal meals, so you finish before everyone else, and do not have to queue up for the toilet, as the majority of other passengers are eating.

If you are looking for a better service on the aircraft, treat the stewards with respect. I always hand them a couple of boxes of chocolates as soon as we reach cruising altitude, this usually ensures I get preferential treatment.

You will come across many airline services offering business air charter travel services. The onus is on you to select the best one that meets your specific requirements. How would you do that? Seek answers to the following questions for business air charter services providers whom you deem suitable for your needs.

Safety record, Ask for the safety record data of any air charter service that you seek. You should take into account how many years the company is in business and how many miles they have flown. In addition, enquire about the safety and security systems and procedures followed by them. You may also check out what kind of training the pilots receive of course you need to be educated for this!

Customer service, Ask if the company would assign a dedicated representative for your company. Most companies offer 24×7 customer services, which is necessary for business air charter travel. Then, enquire about the helpfulness of the customer service representatives and how well versed they are in working with VIPs.

The fleet, Enquire about the aircrafts that the company operates. Enquire whether the company has its own aircraft of leased aircrafts. Enquire about the age of the aircrafts and the fleet in general. There is nothing wrong with leased aircrafts, if they are managed properly. Ask whether all aircrafts operate from one location or have a region wise access.

Pricing, Enquire about the pricing scheme. Negotiations are common in business air travel because competition is high in this arena. Ask specifically if the prices being offered to you are fixed or whether you have the liberty to negotiate. Also, enquire if extra fees are charged in case of short notice bookings.
