No commentsBy Musa Aykac
Whether you are going for a holiday or a business meeting, travelling is an essential part of your routine. A lot of people get wrapped up in the excitement of travelling and forget to do a lot of stuff. So using this guide below, you should be able to have a great experience and relaxing holiday.
First and foremost where ever you have chosen to go, you should keep an eye on the weather conditions. A lot of people seem to think that when they hear of a sunny country, like Spain or Turkey. That in fact is how the holiday is going to be. That is not the case, people do not control the weather, and you could end up going at a time when there is torrential rainstorm, or even a hurricane.
While you are having a break away, you really do not want to be bothered with calls to your mobile. So what a lot of people do is decide to switch them off, again this is a very bad idea. When you are in a different country anything may happen to you, so always keep your phone on hand, and fully charged ready for any emergencies that may occur.
There are now various websites now, which show you the level of security based on certain factors such as terrorism, crime and war. You should avoid visiting countries that have high levels of security risks. If you have booked your trip before a war has commenced, you may be able to claim this back from your travel insurance.
Finally a few other tips that you may want to keep in mind are, do not rent a car if you do not know the area you are travelling to well. Although you may be a great driver in the country that you live in. You may well feel overwhelmed by other countries driving habits. Different areas of the world have different rules; some countries do not even have the use of traffic lights, so if you are not confident enough to get behind the wheel, then do not do it.
Remember to always keep your personal belonging safe while travelling, if you plan each step of your trip calmly, and do not get over excited, then you should be able to enjoy a stress free break and when you return you will feel like taking the whole world on.

Problems Posed by Air Traffic Control
By Peter Salmonford
What concerns me and concerns others of us here is that we need to elevate air traffic control from the area of technocrats and lower level people at airlines and put it right smack on top of the in box of major airline CEO’s. I have not seen the CEO of American Airlines nor of Delta nor of United mention this issue.
They should be here. They should have a conga line going into the FAA Administrator’s office right now demanding change because it is costing them money and it is a controllable cost. Before they go to labor, they need to talk about this issue because it is controllable.
Another point is that the other costs to industry are enormous. USAIR canceled an order for 40 Boeing jets. If we had a free flight system, I would maintain they probably could have ordered those jets.
So the current air traffic control system is constricting the entire economy, the economy of Hartford, CT, the economy of Idledale, OH, the economy of St. Louis, the economy of places even like Cedar Rapids where they make avionics.
The system is hurting the entire economy, not just the area of airlines or the consumer who flies airlines. That is why it is critically important that we address this. And, most importantly, it is critically important that others in the industry get involved, that the chairman and CEO’s of major airlines be here and not pass it down the line, that they understand this is a cost and that the heads of labor unions understand that the air traffic control system is costing their members what they have bargained for over the years, money.
The chairman and CEO’s of companies like General Electric Aircraft Engines, Northrop, Textron, should be here and look into this because it is directly affecting them and their jobs and their futures.
It goes well beyond this, and we believe a free flight system could make this happen. I am sure that polititans can tell you about how it can happen. We believe this is probably the most pressing need right now facing the airline industry. It is not labor costs. It is not the other endemic inefficiencies that some major airlines seem to be in love with. The problem today that is most controllable is air traffic control. When we solve that, the airline industry can return to health, the consumer can benefit and so can communities.
Free flight is just one of the topics that Peter likes to write about. Check out his other articles about Fuel Cell Cars, HHO Gas and DUI charges.
