If you’ve got some vacation time coming up soon, and a little extra time to spend preparing for air travel, you might want to try checking out a few of these sites that offer information and tips on flying…
1. SeatGuru.com Started by a frequent traveler in 2001, SeatGuru is a repository of information on the difference between airline seats.

4. BudgetTravelonline.com The magazine Budget Travel has a website that is filled with the same timely and budget conscious advice that the print magazine offers.

5. Flyingwithkids.com What’s the best FAA approved seat that converts automatically into a stroller? What advice do flight attendants have for parents who bring children on board? Where can I get a pre-made carry-on packing list for my kids? All of these questions and many more are answered at Flying With Kids.
This site, which bills itself as a place for “air travel tips for families flying with an infant or small child” has product reviews, advice, packing lists, and travel stories for those who find themselves sitting next to a small one on board. There is even a place for visitors to the site to ask questions that they don’t see already answered on the page.

7. USA Today’s ‘Today in the Sky’ blog USA Today offers a column in the form of a blog that gives news and analysis about airlines, airports, and air travel. Ben Mutzabaugh posts news related to air travel several times a day on his blog that ranges from what laws the government is passing for airlines to which airports are cutting flights to which airline is beginning to charge for a previously free amenity. If it’s timely air travel or airline news, Today in the Sky is covering it.
Since the column is a blog, readers can post comments and questions about the articles. The blog is also categorized so readers who interested in seeing the pieces just on one topic, such as baggage, can find all related entries easily.
8. Worldairportguide.com Worldairportguide has taken the information from most of the major international airports in the world and put it all in one convenient site for travelers to find. The site gives basic information such as airports’ addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
9. Smartertravel.com Want to know which airlines offer the best amenities? What’s the best day of the week to book air travel? What are today’s top air travel news items? This is a great place to start.
10. TSA.gov Nine years ago, most airline travelers would have never thought to visit the Transportation Security Authority’s website for information before traveling. However, since 9/11, security has been increased for all forms of travel and especially for air travel. It’s always good to be on top of the latest air travel security measures.

Air Travel Planning Ideas For Your Holidays
hey there fine little blog you have right here
I operate the identical web theme on my own blog but for whatever weird explanation it looks to load more quickly on your site although this site has got alot more multimedia. Are you currently working with any sort of plug ins or widgets which speed it up? Do you think you could possibly write about the titles so maybe I can use them in my personal internet sites so twilight breaking dawn supporters could watch twilight new moon online trailers and films more quickly I would always be grateful – many thanks in advance 
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor… identical theme, eh? uh huh…
Well, I hate to let down all the Twilight Breaking Dawn supporters out there but there isn’t much to tell. There aren’t any “speed up the loading” plugins added, and the only media/video plugin it’s got is “Wordpress Video Plugin”. So nothing too fancy there. Personally I think load time is a cross between the number of panels stuck together to create the theme (fewer’s better) and how fast the browser’s running at that instant. Cuz the speed varies a lot!
Good luck with the site,
Bill
