Why choose to go by plane?

The biggest advantage of flying is the ability to travel farther and much faster than by car. In fact, some of the most exotic and popular vacation destinations are completely inaccessible by car: Cuba, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Mauritius, Australia, etc. Air transport solves this problem of inaccessibility.

Why favor morning flights?

Air travel is often the first option for many people thanks to its speed and convenience. Traveling by car for two days can be stressful, which is why flying is a great solution to shorten journeys and offer a little more relaxation, especially if you are lucky enough to take a flight with a meal on board. The best time to fly is often very early in the morning, so if your flight is cancelled, you can find another flight more easily during the day and avoid an overnight layover. This is what many travelers do to maximize their travel time. Moreover according to a survey of the magazine Travel+Leisuremorning flights are less likely to be late.

When can you get compensation from the airlines?

When you opt for air travel, there may be times when your trip doesn’t go exactly as planned, with delays, cancellations, baggage issues, and more. This may require you to spend many hours at the airport. However, be aware that you have rights as a passenger and that you can claim compensation from the airline you are traveling with. If your flight is delayed by at least two hours, you are entitled to assistance, such as snacks and refreshments, and in the most extreme cases, accommodation and financial compensation. To know your rights as an air passenger, it is recommended to refer to the European Convention on Air Carriage and to the conditions of the chosen airline.
