Comments on: Henry Harteveldt on US Airline Travelers And The Economy http://crankyflier.com/2008/05/05/henry-harteveldt-on-us-airline-travelers-and-the-economy/ Thu, 24 May 2012 09:10:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Michelle Schiff http://crankyflier.com/2008/05/05/henry-harteveldt-on-us-airline-travelers-and-the-economy/comment-page-1/#comment-41317 Michelle Schiff Tue, 06 May 2008 17:16:22 +0000 http://crankyflier.com/2008/05/05/henry-harteveldt-on-us-airline-travelers-and-the-economy/#comment-41317 Hi Henry, Congratulations on your first post! An aviation-themed Forrester blog would make for riveting reading, IMO. The findings you have posted here are interesting; I was wondering, though, if your sample is made up of domestic (US) travelers only, or if international travelers are also included. I myself have always tended to consider only domestic travel a right while viewing international travel as a luxury. However this year looks to differ from any I've seen so far, and has me thinking of canceling an annual family visit if I don't see a serious fare sale soon... Keep blogging, Michelle Hi Henry,

Of course Blanche DuBois is from "Streetcar." It's doubly embarrassing considering I graduated from Tulane University, which is in New Orleans. My apologies. Henry Matthew and John,

Was there a difference? IT WASNT EVEN CLOSE! (Though I must say that I and my buddy got special attention from the flight attendant on UA. The other poor folks were not quite as lucky.)

Yes, Blanche DuBois is in fact a carachter from "A streetcar Named Desire". But here's where you're right..she was infact created by Tennessee Williams. Heya…just to confirrm Matthew’s correction.

But the study results were quite interesting. Do you think Cranky could let you do semi-regular posts on your research? That would be great!

Excellent analysis. One minor correction: Blanche DuBois is from "A Streetcar Named Desire", not "The Glass Menagerie". Despite this small error, your comparison is apt. Hopefully the airlines won't go crazy :) Regards, Matt Hi Henry,
