Airlines
By Arlene Fleming, About.com Guide to Air Travel
The core of air travel is as a mode of transport - how to get there. Airlines have one thing in common in that they share the skies and get you there by plane. Outside of that, airlines vary widely. Even check-in and airport amenities are not the same. From offering pre-booked seating to meals and rebooking policies, airlines certainly do not fit into a one-size-fits-all description. Low cost and charter airlines compete with more traditional ones - making more choices available to passengers.
