Flying (Beacons S.) - Softcover

How often have you gazed up to see thin white vapour trails criss-crossing the sky 5 miles above you? It is difficult to imagine a world without air travel these days. Certainly when you live on an island as we do, you can't get very far very quickly without doing what is unnatural and taking to the air. With economy class sickness much in the news, looking after your health when flying is of prime concern. But it is important to know your rights too. Are you entitled to compensation if you are 'bumped' because of over booking and what about lost tickets? Where is the best place to sit in the plane and just does how a lumbering hulk like a Jumbo Jet get off the ground anyway? Packed with information this is an essential companion for anybody who flies.
