There’s been a recent trend in airline policy to force larger-set travelers to buy two plane seats if they can’t fit comfortable into one. Many passengers come unprepared for this possibility and are embarrassed or unable to pay. In light of these inconveniences, Tony Harrell of Abundant Travel started a travel agency catering to people of size. His agency looks into hotel staff behavior, whether destinations are “glamorously thin” and how to strategically book flight tickets. Source: Gadling
In-flight Nanny
If the idea of flying with your rambunctious children is holding you back from travel, then you might have just lost your last excuse. A California based company called Nanny in the Clouds has found a cool new way to match you up with a babysitter on your flight. How does it work? The website charges parents $10 to access information on available sitters and then matches them up with passengers in the same flight who are experienced baby sitters. The company recommends a rate of $10-$20 per hour for the sky nanny. Source: TIME
