Week of January 11, 2010
News Item: Crowds. Delays. Fees and Surcharges. Delays. Frustration. Delays. Oh, and increased security – think full-bodied pat downs. Welcome to air travel in 2010 – not at all the luxurious experience it was long ago. A reprieve for travelers?: Beginning this spring, the U.S. government will fine any airlines that keep passengers on a grounded aircraft for more than two hours without providing food or drink, or three hours without allowing them to disembark. This week we offer a list of titles about commercial air travel and the airline industry. Also take a look at books on airport design.
