With competition increasing from all corners, airlines have to find a new way to adapt or die. Profiting from a lifestyle association with their passengers and building that brand loyalty could well be the missing link in airline evolution. Survival of the fittest isn't just a Nike thing.

Smells fishy to us.

Technology may not address all our air travel needs, but improvements which take the hassle out of getting there and back, with our luggage in tact, are surely welcome.

Happy Halloween travels. If you can’t be connected on your flight today, consider buying a Little Book of Calm. (That one’s for our Brit friends, straight from their Black Books.)

In aviation, change takes time and patience pays off. We might have once thought pigs would fly before Butterflies, but airlines could be ready to fly convertibles.

Making the floor beautiful and more functional for way-finding is a great application of Universal Design principles by Edmonton International. We need more of this thinking in the design of our expanding airport cities. The future of travel is inclusive.

As the aircraft interiors market keeps growing, manufacturers growing their own sustainable components makes sense.

Quite a gimmick, but it doesn't sound too bad.

Higher bandwidth and on-demand entertainment are today's competitive weapon of choice. Whether crowded passengers will forget their woes by watching shows is anybody's guess.

If designers and trends watchers keep pushing airlines to think beyond the Class-Divide cabin, we might see more imaginative structuring of the aircraft cabin on the major carriers too. Time will tell.
