In a recent survey of 4300 American travelers by TripAdvisor, and a similar survey of 2300 mobile travelers by FlightView, some well know travel trends were reaffirmed and a few others of interest were noted.
Not surprisingly, travelers greatest pet peeves when flying are:
- Uncomfortable seats/lack of leg room (73%)
- Expensive fees and airfares (66%)
- Flight delays and cancellations (45%)
- Long security lines (35%)
- Crying or loud children (32%) — of these, almost half would be willing to pay more for a child-free zone.
What are we willing to pay more for? Gate-side bag check, curb-side car pick-up, and real-time luggage tracking.
More and more passengers are using their personal electronic devices to check flight status, check-in, and book airfares. Use of PEDs for these functions is around 50%, plus or minus a few points.
