Today, a massive industry has grown around this service and air travel is now commonplace.

Can you pack wrapped gifts in your checked luggage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but they still have to meet all the other requirements for carry-on. If there is liquid, it has to be under 3 ounces, and capable of being removed from the packaging for inspection. If is a sweater or something that obviously no sort of "threat", you are probably totally safe, but if it is electronics or something of that sort, there is a small possibility of them wanting to unwrap it to check it out. It may be better off sticking with gift bags for those types of gifts.

Is it safe to travel with a concussion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Airline travel is the safest form of travel in the World, believe it or not, it is safer than driving a car.

Aplane takes off every 3 seconds around the World, and there are only about 5 or 6 plane crashes IN A YEAR! that just shows how safe it is.

Cars on the other hand crash hundreds of times a day leat alone a year! Think about the ratio, and you will realise that Flying is soo much safer.

Can you take a cell phone on an airplane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can take it on an airplane but you have to keep it switched off.
You can use your phone only during take off and during landing. During the flight itself, you are not allowed to use your cell phone.
Yes, but they usually ask you to turn them off during at least take off and landing (possibly the rest of the flight, I can't remember).

Will glass jars explode if packed in luggage on an airplane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not always, but sometimes. Wine bottles are pretty much OK. Jars of jelly have been ok for me. The more air, the more the chance of bursting. Sometimes bottles leaked around seals without breaking the glass. I try to remember to put glass items into a gallon zip lock bag in my suitcase.

Comparisson between airbus-300 airbus-380?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The A-300 is one of Airbus Industrie's earliest long-haul aircraft. It is a two-engine, two-aisle, single passenger decked aircraft, which carries around 260 people in a two class configuration. It has a maximum range of 6670km. As a fairly old aircraft, it is beginning to be phased out by most airlines still using it, including American Airlines (USA) and Monarch Airlines (UK).

By contrast, the A-380 is Airbus' newest long-haul passenger jet. It is a four engine, four-aisle, double passenger deck aircraft, capable of carrying 644 passengers in two classes, or up to 853 passengers if the entire aircraft was Economy class. It can fly much further than the A-300 (about 15,200km), faster (as it has two more engines) and is based on much newer technology: the A380 has only just entered service (currently only Singapore Airlines fly it). The A-300 first entered service in 1972.

Singapore Airlines has 3 A-380's, flying them mainly between London and Singapore, and Singapore and Sydney. Emirates Airlines of Dubai, and Qantas Airways of Australia will soon take delivery of their first A-380's.

Airbus' main rival, Boeing, is currently in final testing of their new aircraft, the 787.

Both the 787 and A-380 projects have been dogged by manufacturing and design delays for which the airlines inconvenienced as a result have received hefty financial compensation.
