Choosing an air flight I find is extremely crucial to a great trip. It can either make or break your trip! Looking into great detail of what features each specific airline offers is definitely essential. I for one would not be able to survive a flight longer than 12 hours without an entertainment system (looking at you United Airlines!).

Here is an essential guide with tips on what to consider when choosing an air flight:
-       The price
The price usually does play a big role in what an air flight offers. Obviously the higher the air flight, the more benefits! Although not all benefits are necessary as for me personally, I completely do not mind travelling with a cheaper air flight if I am just travelling to somewhere close by domestically.

-       The duration
Duration is a big important consideration for me. Sometimes I would want a flight with the shortest duration time possible. Occasionally although, I want the opportunity to stop over and explore and roam a different continent. Of course this varies between every individual traveller depending on personal preference. Some air flights offer straight flights to specific areas, whereas others don’t. United Airlines for example, is the only air flight that offers its customers a straight flight from San Francisco to Sydney without a transit or stop over.

-       Cabin features (first class, business class, economy class)

Some air flights have the full cabin feature of first class, business class, and economy class, although this is obviously not offered on every air flight. If you are a traveller whom wants to be casted out and exclusive to the rest then this feature should be considered. Personally I would love to fly first class on all my vacations,, unfortunately I would need to win the lottery to make this happen.

-       Entertainment features (digital screen)
Flights in general I find are extremely boring. That’s why the integration of a digital screen has been implemented in the 20th century. Programs and music are offered through an individual headset for each passenger. Some travellers don’t find this feature as a necessity although I find this feature as an essential NEED! Flights that do offer this feature always have such a wide range of different films offered. I’ve flown with Quantas several times and personally love their selections.

-       Seating features
-       Communication options (telephone, SMS email, Wi-Fi)
Communication made possible on a plane 40, 000 feet up in the sky is the greatest technological advancement today implemented to planes! This contemporary feature is new and amazing and I am sure a like to me, most travellers would want to take an experience in.

-       Dining options
Some flights do not offer dining options.

-       Baggage options
Some air flights offer great baggage options while others, not so much. I love the option of being able to carry more than 2 luggage bags on a trip. One is definitely not enough for someone like me who loves to shop!!!

-       Special deals on flights
Special deals on flights are always the trigger for a vacation for me. How can you resist the great prices!!!
