The RULES Of AIR TRAVEL

Road & Travel - Airline Rules

1. No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the normal delay in order to make it on time.

2. If you ARE running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.

3. If you arrive very early for a flight, it will inevitably be delayed.

4. Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.

5. If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.

6. If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.

7. Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory.

8. The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.

9. The best-looking woman on your flight is never seated next to you.

10. The less carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard.


According to the Guide to Sleeping in Airports, the top 10 worst Airports in the world to catch some shut-eye in are:

1. Paris - Charles de Gaulle
2. Moscow - Sheremetyevo
3. New York - JFK
4. Los Angeles
5. Delhi
6. Chicago - O'Hare
7. Mumbai
8. Manila
9. Rome - Fiumicino
10. London - Heathrow

The best airports in the world for sleeping in have also been determined, as the following:

1. Singapore - Changi
2. Seoul - Incheon
3. Amsterdam - Schiphol
4. Oslo - Gardermoen
5. Hong Kong
6. Dubai
7. Frankfurt International
8. Munich
9. Vancouver
10. Denver

Having had an uncomfortable night's 'sleep' in Dubai, it makes me wonder how the comparisons stack up against each other.

Have you ever tried to sleep in an airport before, and how well did it go for you?
