The question these days is will air travel ever be the same?

Lets look at the situation at the moment, most US airlines are flying again with about 80% of their schedules. (Midway Airlines, which was already in bankruptcy, has shut down altogether.) Reagan National Airport was the last to re-open, other airports including all three of New York's airports are open. Passengers are subject to much more extensive screening than in the past, so airlines recommend arriving at least an hour earlier than before, although in my experience the extra delay isn't more than 10 minutes. Most foreign airlines are flying to and from the U.S.

Other changes include: some airports have stopped curb-side baggage check, nothing vaguely resembling a knife is allowed in carry-ons, you're only allowed one carry-on plus a purse, briefcase, diaper bag or the like, non-passengers aren't allowed past security, all passengers must have a ticket or e-ticket receipt, parking areas close to terminals are closed, and National Guard troops are patrolling some airports, although their actual duties aren't clear. The new rules are enforced inconsistently.

 

Feature Story  
 

A lengthy trip

Boeing is stretching things. In response to the mega-aircraft challenge thrown down by the Airbus A380, the Seattle giant is rolling out its own contender. Rather than go to the expense of developing a brand new family of aircraft though, Boeing plans to put its venerable 747 design on the rack, producing a stretch limo for the skies.

The ultimate offspring of the lengthening project will be a 747 capable of flying over 14,000 km with 660 passengers along for the ride.
