How to choose a comfortable flight? How to choose an airplane with high on-time performance when flying?

Although the flight time is relatively short, it still takes a long time to sit on the plane, so friends, there are only ways to make flying more comfortable, and sometimes it is uncomfortable when the plane is late. , the editor will tell you how to solve this situation. How to improve flight comfort

There are many factors that affect flight comfort. Personally, I think there are five main criteria for aircraft to affect flight comfort.

1. Seat front-to-back distance

2. Seat design (seat comfort and entertainment system)

3. Seat width

4. Age of the aircraft

5. Aircraft model

If you see the aircraft model when booking: 748(744)/77W/380/350, you can choose with confidence without thinking. It’s basically not wrong.

Double-aisle large planes are definitely more comfortable than single-aisle small planes. After all, the entertainment equipment is good and the space is large. Moreover, in most cases, the air tickets of large planes on the same route are more expensive. Even cheaper.

But, will there be pitfalls in large planes? Yes...

On the same plane, some airlines have dense seats, while others have loose seats.

For example, most airlines' 787s have a 3-3-3 layout, but Japan Airlines has a 2-4-2 layout, which is obviously much looser, but Scoot's 787s have a 3-4- 3 arrangement.

On the other hand, most airlines' 777s are also in a 3-3-3 layout, but Emirates's is a 3-4-3 layout, which is crowded.

AirAsia, Cebu, and Aeroflot are all on the blacklist. Even if they are large planes, we still do not recommend you choose them.

Easy to get on the plane is very important

I am quite lazy, so lazy that I feel tired even if I walk a few more steps, let alone give me a seat far away from the plane and let me take the ferry. The car went.

In Hangzhou, I like to fly Air China, because after passing the security check, you are right at the Air China boarding gate, which is super convenient.

Getting on and off the plane is by the covered bridge, which is definitely more reliable than taking the shuttle bus and saves time.

Of course, CIP will be more reliable.

So, do you know which flights rely on bridges and which flights require shuttle buses?

In-flight facilities are very important

Is there Wi-Fi on board? Are the entertainment facilities good? Good? Is there a power supply? How old is the aircraft? What is the seat pitch, width, and adjustable seat angle?

Well, fastidious people can be so "pretentious", and I feel like I do too I can't stand it anymore.

Meals

I have flown on Asiana, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, ANA, JAL...the food is generally good, the service is also very good, and most of the flight attendants are high-end She is a good-looking young girl who speaks softly. The plane is relatively new and the seats are more comfortable.

The food at Asiana, ANA, and JAL is particularly good.

But...the meals on United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, and Air Canada are really inedible. And the food is stingy. If others give me 3 meals, I will give 2 and a half meals.

So, how to check the comfort level of a flight? Here we recommend a tool - the flight comfort query tool on the Feichangzhun APP.

Each flight has a detailed introduction and review of the facilities.

Ratings (from netizens), delays, and some equipment information are all available, and it is very helpful in helping you choose flights.

FlyFlyer will give each flight a comfort score, ranging from 0 to 10 points.

I’ll just take the Hangzhou-Chengdu flight as an example. There are ratings, airline service levels, airport service levels, and photos posted by netizens. It’s just like looking at hotel reviews on OTAs. It’s easy to view all of them.

To help you choose a flight, take a look at the pictures below, they are definitely detailed enough. How to improve flight on-time performance

On-time performance is really super, super, super important!

When traveling by air or on business, you are most afraid of flight delays, but you know, "the world's most on-time performance" The "bad" airports are all in the mainland...

This is also a super helpless thing. After all, there are many domestic flow control, and many delays are really uncontrollable.

In terms of on-time performance, we mainly look at the data of frequent flights. Generally speaking, the following methods can help you choose a flight that is relatively on-time when choosing a flight.

Try to choose your home airline

For example, in Hangzhou, Air China is the obvious choice. Hangzhou is Air China’s largest base in the Yangtze River Delta, and generally Air China flights are given priority.

Shanghai, China Eastern Airlines, Spring and Autumn Airlines, and Shanghai Airlines are relatively reliable.

Beijing, there is no doubt to choose Air China, the flag carrier is absolutely reliable in the capital.

Guangzhou, obviously China Southern Airlines; Shenzhen, Shenzhen Airlines and Air China; Xiamen, Xiamen Airlines.

......

The home airline still has full advantages.

Choose an early flight as soon as possible

Early flights are not those that must fly after 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock. These flights really have no user experience. It's early and the CIP channel hasn't been opened yet, which is super inconvenient.

Early flights can actually refer to those flights that fly together on the same day (an aircraft often flies 3-5 times a day, and early flights can only refer to the first flight of the day).

In most cases, as long as the plane flew to the airport the day before, the first flight of the day is unlikely to be delayed.

The way to improve the punctuality of flights is to check the punctuality analysis of flights in advance on Feichangzhun, and use big data to tell you directly.

Flight history on-time performance and airport on-time performance are all listed above.

At the same time, I will do more research on the situation of the previous flight. As mentioned above, the probability of the early (first) flight being delayed is low; at the same time, according to the situation of the previous flight (airport, weather, etc.) ), you can basically analyze whether the flight will be on time. How to know the route by heart

This is actually something that some people don’t want to write about, but it’s just a matter of discussion.

At least as far as the city of Hangzhou is concerned, Xiyou is very, very clear about the routes. Hangzhou can fly to 37 overseas cities (including 34 direct flights and 4 stopovers)< /p>

As for how you know? Fei Changzhun can just check it out.

The route network map of Feichangzhun is quite powerful. It not only has city dimensions and time dimensions, but also allows you to choose airlines, alliances, domestic and overseas, etc.

It is very convenient for you to arrange your own travel plan, at least that's it. I will never fly to Pudong for some routes from Hangzhou, unless the difference is more than 2,000 yuan. After all, time is the biggest cost~

You can also specify the departure city, specify the airline, and specify the extended condition query (whether it is a stopover, whether it is a domestic flight, etc.)

The picture below shows the domestic flight of Air China departing from Hangzhou (not (Including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan)

If you go out like this and try to take Air China, you will know which cities I can go to from Hangzhou~

And point-to-point (city-to-city) inquiries

For example, when flying from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, it not only tells you the flight distance, but also tells you which flights are available for you to choose from in a day.

You can also click on each flight. At this time, you can see that some flights do not fly every day.

For example, Hangzhou-Xining CA1909, except for the fixed flight on Saturdays, everything else is a bit chaotic~

The official website of Flying Changzhun also has a very powerful feature, which is that you can query an airport and a certain airport. All inbound and outbound flights in a day can be classified according to airlines, domestic and overseas.

For example, I checked Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport on September 22. There were 177 domestic routes and 36 cross-border routes of 42 airlines. Can read weather maps and understand typhoons

I usually check the typhoon path on the Typhoon Track Real-time Release System website. This website is relatively professional: /default.aspx

You You can see many useful data such as wind strength, path prediction, and influence range.

Yesterday’s super typhoon Mangkhut came with great force, but at the same time, for many people, this is also a good time to take out the risk of delay.

Actually, looking at the path of a typhoon is actually the most basic and simplest thing to do. After all, there are fewer typhoons. In most cases, we still watch the weather radar more.

Take the following figure as an example. The color of weather radar generally ranges from blue to purple (increasing intensity). The darker the color and the smaller the area, the greater the probability and intensity of precipitation. In summer, Areas covered by red areas are prone to short-term strong convective weather (strong winds, heavy rain, hail, etc.).

Weather websites generally provide radar charts for the past few hours. By playing animations, you can intuitively see the changing trends of precipitation areas.

Weather radar charts are all animated. The so-called animation is to show you the weather radar chart of the previous few minutes or hours in the form of animation.

At this time, you can see how reliable the rainfall is and how fast it is moving, and you can make a prediction to see if it will affect your trip, so that you can make timely preparations.

Well, I usually look at the weather map on the fly.
