| Any other information that
may be useful |
Although we may have covered all possible aspects we feel are important to the @-traveler, there are various topics we could not classify as part of the 10 chapters with information, such as flexibility, nasty surprises, fares, booking, packing, day of departure, during the flight, etc. Therefore, we have gathered here some other aspects that we might be useful or interesting to you.
Contract terms
Throughout our web site, we have tried to provide you detailed information on air travel. It is important to realize, however, that each airline has specific rules that make up your contract of carriage. These rules may differ among carriers. They include provisions such as check-in deadlines, refund procedures, responsibility for delayed flights, and many other things.
Creating a Travel
Journal
Most of us bring along cameras when we travel and certainly when we travel to places we haven’t been before. We take pictures, buy postcards and we buy souvenirs. And what do we do with it. We look at them when we are home to conclude our vacation and then? How many of us have shoeboxes of pictures in a closet somewhere? Share your trip - create a travel journal.
Definitions
Planning your flight(s) and booking an airline ticket is easier than it seems, but it requires a basic understanding of the terminology used in air travel. First of all, one should familiarize themselves with the various carriers, airports, codes, abbreviations, classes and much more, used in timetables and other flight information.
Frequent Flyer Programs
Most airlines have a frequent-flyer plan, which allow you to earn free trips, upgrades or other awards based on how often you fly on that airline. Some airlines also offer "elite" programs which provide check-in and boarding priorities, and "affinity" credit cards which earn mileage credits when you use them for purchases. It doesn't cost anything to join a program, but is there a catch?
Tourist information
We have tried to gather some links to web sites we feel could provide interesting information for tourists planning to pay a visit to that continent, country or state.
Tourism offices worldwide
We made an attempt to gather a list of the National (per State, where appropriate) Tourism Offices in the world. Quite a extensive list of tourism offices worldwide, but not all of them have a web site, or some countries may be missing or have multiple offices. Therefore, we welcome you to add information to this list by sending us an e-mail to support@pr-aviation.com with all the necessary information, including the URL of the office.
Airlines of the world
An attempt has been made to gather all the airlines in the world, where possible including their logo, a link to their web site or to an unofficial web site, if the airline has no site of its own. If you can’t find the airline you’re looking for and you’re sure it exists, please let us know, so that we can constantly improve our information.
Travel scams
Some travel packages turn out to be very different from what was presented or what the consumer expected. Some don't materialize at all! If you receive an offer by phone or mail for a free or extremely low-priced vacation trip to a popular destination, there are a few things you should look for.
Employment in Aviation
Looking for a job in the aviation industry? Have a look at some links to interesting web sites that we have put together for you. Next to jobs offered in one of the listed links, visit the airline’s web site, as most of them publish their job vacancies, or have a look at our web pages on job vacancies, specifically focused at the low cost airlines.
Travel related Humor
Next to a large amount of “serious” information for business and pleasure travelers, we decided to include some of the “funnier” side of Air Travel. What’s life without some humor! We have included some jokes/stories we thought are funny and some links to some appropriate website.
