Everyday, millions of people fly. I’d guess most everyone hates the process. As with most things in life, happy people make everything better (they’re more productive, etc)–and it’s contagious!

Terminals

  • Better seating
  • More A/C outlets
  • Free wifi
  • Smoking rooms

Flights

  • Allow people to use electronic devices the whole time
  • Turn on the entertainment system and A/C before passengers board and leave them on until people are off the plane
  • USB charging stations on each seat
  • Assigned overhead bins
  • Some sane amount of free alcohol (maybe 1 drink per 4 hours)
  • A light snack (research points to about 300 calories per 3 hours)
  • Treat people like adults!

Beyond these, improved communication and more travel options would be fantastic. What would you like to see?
