Insider Information For Flying

Would it be of value to you to know the true value of your airline experience? 

We sometimes base our flight value based solely on price, yet it is important to include all factors that can add up to a positive flying experience. 

For example, there are certain airlines that I will not fly due to their "lost luggage record" (coupled with my own experience of the airline losing my luggage as well).  Other airlines are not of interest to me because my knees rub the seat in front of me (and I'm only 5'4"). 

On the flip side, there are are several airlines that I will fly because of the positive flying experience.  I love Southwest for numerous reasons - price, service, reliability, comfort, customer service, etc. 

When flying outside of the United States, I'm first in line for Singapore Airlines, Delta & SAS.  Comfort is a major factor when I'm going to be on a plane for five or more hours. 

Enter Inside Trip, which compiles statistics on nearly every factor that makes for a good flying experience - from on-time ratings to legroom in the cabins - and gives each flight a score from 1 to 100. 

When you search for a flight on Inside Trip, each flight has its own score - which you can control in your results by checking  or unchecking boxes that let you decide what factors are important to you when you fly. 

I thought it would supportive to share this information in time for the holiday travel season. 

How does being able to choose your priorities when flying support you?  How will you recognize your flying priority preferences? 

I'd love to hear your comments and discoveries. 

I wish everyone a safe holiday travel season.
