Getting there is half the fun: Improving the commercial airline experience


By Mesve Vardar

It has been a little over a century since the famous flight of the Wright Brothers in 1903; in this time air travel has gone from being a luxurious experience reserved for an elite group to a means of mass transportation.The adventure and romance associated with air travel in the previous decades are far from today’s reality. Today air travel is generally associated with cramped seating, bad food, poor air quality, and long lines. This thesis examines the history of commercial air travel, focusing on the evolution of passenger experiences and investigates ways to improve air travel as we know it today.
