Year in Review - Air Travel Trends of 2007

It's that time of year again - the end of the year often gives us time to reflect on the year that has passed. This year in air travel was a vibrant, varied one. 2007 began with the disappearance of an Adam Air flight in Indonesia (crash remnants and no survivors were later found), and is ending with bankruptcy filings (MaxJet and Big Sky Airlines).

JetBlue started offering email inflight; Virgin America offered a Victoria's Secret pajama party; and PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) made it off the EU blacklist. In a year of thousands of air travel stories, it is of course difficult to pick a few notable items. So I looked at some of the trends that seemed to emerge, or re-emerged with a vengeance in 2007, and piled it into my list of top 5 air travel trends.
