Flying around Europe

I'm one of those people who occasionally watches Richard Quest's program on CNN with respect dispite myself. I am after all an experienced modern traveller and with Mr. Quest I am optomistic about the future.
In the broadest terms, travelling is not getting worse. Yes, these past few years have meant harsher security checks, luggage "restrictions" and "air rage", but the problem is not yet out of hand. Don't take my word for it, learn to test the wind. Who among the initiated does not see their airmiles increase at a great rate than prime interest? Clerks have been sometimes replaced by ticket machines, which shifts the blame from the airline personnel to "IT", but the transportation industry would be literally nowhere without the scope for profits.

I often travel in if not luxury than comfort across Europe, and you can usually find your favoutite national carrier (mine's Lufthansa) to fly you to many E.U. destinations. The renovations at Heathrow entail that a stopover there is quite bearable assuming no agoraphobia. Of course it's best to save £20 and 50 min for flights to the City by booking in advance to City or Stanstead Airport. Air France has begun CityJet for professionals linking major continental stops with London's City Airport. BA has introduced the past year World Traveller class in between Economy and Business, which from experience is a nice little perk for those less frequent fliers who appreciate a leg rest and of course a bit of class.

Another rule to follow, is always pick the smallest, most local airline for short hops whenever possible. On the western atlantic coast for example, smaller carriers get domestic hubs which means less security hurdles. Honestly these days the smaller the airport, the less people are worring about threats the smoother the trip. To get that big airplane rush, I suggest buying Airbus stock so they get moving on that A380 superjumbo for transoceanic flights.
