From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Air travel is a form of travel using an airplane.

The comfort experienced when traveling by air depends on several factors starting with the airport, the choice of the airline and the travel class.

Travel class on an airplane is usually split into a two, three or four class model. US Domestic flights usually have two classes: Economy Class and a Domestic First Class partitioned into cabins. International flights may have up to four classes: Economy Class, Premium Economy, Business Class or Club Class and First Class.

The differences between premium economy and economy are quite significant, but the cost is not greatly altered by purchasing a Premium Economy ticket. The price difference between an economy class ticket and a first class ticket, however, are often extreme.

Most air travel starts and ends at a commercial airport. The typical procedure is check-in, border control, airport security baggage and passenger check before entering the gate, boarding, flying and pick-up of luggage and - limited to international flights - another border control at the host country's border.

Simple English

Air travel is a process of going from place to place by any flying object, such as airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons or anything that can fly.

Air travel has been a very long dream of human being from the ancient age. People seeing birds flying tried to take a flight in many ways and finally came up with balloons and machines that could fly. Air travel has added speed and cut down in travel time drastically. Today we can think of travelling around the world in 24 hours, which was never possible with any other type of transport.

Today air travel is a normal way to travel, for pleasure, personal need or business.

Air travel can be broadly put into two groups; domestic flights, and international flights.

Domestic air travel

Air travel within a country are called domestic flights. Most countries have domestic airlines to provide this service.

International air travel

The air travel across the borders of countries are called international flights. This is generally long distance air travel.
