United Airlines

In the past, I have taken several different airlines. Some good, some bad, however the majority of my experience has been average. In early 2017, United Airlines got caught having police officers physically forcing a man off of a flight. With more and more details being discovered, the story unfolded of what happened on that plane. Apparently, United had overbooked the flight, promising one of their “higher-ups” a seat on this particular flight. After having asked the passengers to volunteer to…

Heathrow Express is a non-stop service direct to London's Paddington station. trains leave every 15 minutes. It takes 15 minutes to get to the station. Heathrow Connect is a stopping service to Paddington. Trains leave every 30 minutes. By…

For centuries, thousands of men sought after the dream of flight and never attained it. Figuring out how to fly, without killing yourself in the process, was a tremendous task. However, after several years of observation and preparation, two men accomplished their dream. Wilbur and Orville Wright, from Dayton, Ohio, had a dream to build something that could fly, but most thought it was nothing more than a crazy idea. With the belief that the sky is the limit when it comes to what can come from…

When it comes to formulating new policy in regards to public policy, a numerous amount of effort is needed to be able to take a stance and establish a solution. One way, and probably the most effective way of altering public policy, is by way of a stakeholder. One could describe a stakeholder as a person who is vested with an interest within a certain policy, tactic or procedure. Many, if not all people, engage themselves in some form of stakeholdership throughout their lifetime. The opinion of…

Apocalypse Grant, Jonah, and I got of the bus in San Francisco and had to walk to the airport. We couldn’t find it so we ask someone. They said “ you'll see a big chemical place beside it, you can’t miss it from their. We had to hurry because our flight left pretty soon. WE probably got the best seats on the plane and we THOUGHT it was going to be a very enjoyable ride. When we took off I noticed out the window that we weren’t getting of the ground, at all. We were getting towards the end of…

England is known for its taxies, however those black cab rides are not cheap, in fact, they cost more than taxis in the United States (Martin). Public transportation is a cost efficient way of getting around, and definitely worth looking into, when looking to get from the airport to a hotel, hostel, or to a homestay. If one plans to spend more than a few day, they should…

Pushing through the hordes of people, I catch a glimpse of my train’s boarding check-ins. Like a captain frantically seeking a lighthouse in a storm, I haul myself across the ocean of human bodies, trying to stay afloat, to avoid being stranded – or trampled – in the dustiest city in the world: Beijing, capital of both China and smog. Luckily, I find my train with plenty of time to spare, and without being turned into a pancake, which is always a plus. The train conductor in his freshly…

The 747, defined by Wikipedia, is “A wide-body commercial airliner and cargo transport aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies.” From the 747’s design, to its fuselage, and its wings and engine, the Boeing 747 is truly a geometric plane. The Boeing 747-100B has a very detailed design. It’s original design included a double decked fuselage (body) with 8 seats across on the lower deck and 7 seats across for the upper deck. Though, this idea was…

The avenue below is lit up by the first rays of the day, shining through a thin layer of grey clouds, like a stained glass window. As Colin packs his last bag, his thoughts are lost in Naya, but soon he will be on the plane and home by the evening. The stormy weather has cancelled his previous flight, but today it’s finally clear. He rested as he sat next to the window. As soon as the plane takes off it startles him and he wakes up asking, “Have we landed?” The flight attendant laughs and says,…

American airline they don’t have a lot of weaknesses comparing to other airlines. Most airline weakness are the market share and financial positions. The airline constantly faces union problems that have negative effects on the progress of the company. After US Airways merger, this problem intensified and because of increasing union problems, American Airline adopted a benefit-sharing program. This program affected the company's profits and created instability in the project. Although the…
