Airport Avenger: Tips and Top Secrets for Airlines, Airfares, Fees, Security and Cancelations

It's been over 100 years since airplanes took to the skies. Most of us take for granted that there are vehicles that can lift us seven miles high, travel close to the speed of sound, and set us safely back on earth again thousands of miles from where we started.

For many people this everyday marvel has become a nightmare. Crowded planes, canceled flights, passengers stuck on planes or in terminals because airlines try to put too many planes in the air at the same time through an air traffic control system that hasn't kept pace with technology for decades.

It doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to turn into "us against them." Airlines can be profitable businesses. Passengers can fly comfortably and safely. Smart management and planning, by airlines and passengers, can solve many of the issues that often make air travel an ordeal.

The FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board and local airport authorities don't let airlines control every aspect of air travel. But they have not been terribly proactive when it comes to keeping airport terminals from looking like refugee camps when big storms or security snafus ground flights. Fares, fees, schedules, routes, the kind of plane you fly on? All of that is pretty much up to the airlines. For now.

Air travel shouldn't be a combination of dicey service, charges for almost everything beyond a ticket and a crap shoot for taking off and landing on time--or even at the airport you intended to go to.
