Tour operators see strong international, domestic growth
A survey by the U.S. Tour Operators Association found 92% of respondents said business has increased since the beginning of 2010. "Pent-up demand for travel, a somewhat stronger economy and more discretionary income are some factors fueling the growth in travel bookings," USTOA Chairman John Stachnik said. Almost all respondents said international travel has surged over 2009. Travel Weekly (6/23)
Virgin Atlantic passengers held on plane for hours
A Virgin Atlantic flight heading from London to Newark, N.J., was diverted to Connecticut late Tuesday because of bad weather, according to the carrier. Passengers aboard the flight complained they were held for several hours without food or water. The flight is not subject to new tarmac delay rules that recently went into effect. "That is a U.S. regulation," a spokesman for the airline said. "We are a European carrier so we operate under European law. We haven't infringed any rules." CNN (6/23)
Ash clouds force some to reconsider travel insurance
Travelers who previously rebuffed the idea of travel insurance are reconsidering the coverage after the flight cancellations caused by volcanic ash disrupted the plans of millions of people. Figures detailing the growing popularity of travel insurance since the Icelandic volcanic eruption are not available, but industry experts say the trend is obvious. "When events like this ... occur, most [in the industry] agree that sales at least double," said Wayne Nelson, senior manager of industry affairs for ASTA. The Wall Street Journal (6/24)

DOT asks public if peanuts should be banned from flights
The Department of Transportation recently released proposals with the goal of improving air travel and passenger protections. The idea of banning peanuts from flights has been considered to accommodate those who are allergic. "The Air Carrier Access Act prohibits discrimination by U.S. and foreign air carriers against individuals with disabilities," according to the proposal. "Airline passengers with severe allergies to peanuts have a qualifying disability." CNN (6/22) , The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (free registration) (6/22)
DHS: U.S. provides more privacy than Europe in full-body scans
Despite European criticism over alleged privacy concerns posed by full-body scanners, the U.S. has built-in protections while Europe does not, according to a U.S. official. "There is more privacy protection in place in the U.S. than in Europe, because we embedded those provisions before rolling out the system," says Mary Ellen Callahan, supervisor of privacy and data protection at the Department of Homeland Security. Callahan says scanners are optional in the U.S. and that screeners are located in a separate room where they cannot see the person being scanned. In the U.K., Callahan points out, there is no choice to opt out of the scan and there is no separation between the subject and the screener. United Press International (6/22)

Baggage Allowance When Interlining on AA
When travel is between INDIA & USA on AI with only the intra US sectors on AA, then the baggage allowance that is applicable on the AI sectors will also be applicable on the AA sectors.
However, when travel is between INDIA & USA wherein travel between INDIA & LONDON/PARIS/FRANKFURT is on AI and travel between Europe & USA is on AA, AA shall charge $50 for the 2nd checked bag for the transatlantic sector EUROPE - USA & vv.

Baggage Allowance When Interlining on UA
All passengers checking with UA as the first check-in carrier for all itineraries from the US to India and Europe will be subject to the 1PC concept irrelevant of the ticket stock.
While travelling in the westward direction when passenger checks in, the first international leg on AI (viz. India –New York/Chicago/Frankfurt/Paris/London or Frankfurt-Newark/Chicago) and the onwards intra USA OR EUROPE -USA sector with UA, the policy of AI will apply (viz. 2PC).

Baggage Allowance When Interlining on DL
On a through AI document, Delta Airlines(DL)'s check-in baggage policy when interlining on DL on the IND -USA-IND route or the Europe -USA -Europe route is as follows:
1) When travel is between India and USA or between EUROPE and USA with the intra US sector on DL, over-the-water carrier’s rules apply (fees and allowances) if the bags are being checked all the way through.

Please Note: Delta will honor the international bag schedule even if a stopover occurs at AI gateway – as part of an international journey.

2) For travel between India and USA via Europe on DL, the “most significant” carrier’s fees apply.
i.e. when travel is between India and USA with Europe -USA-Europe sector on DL, baggage allowance for the Europe -USA-Europe sector travelled on DL will be based on the mileage travelled on each airline.
a) If the mileage travelled on the AI sector is higher than the AI baggage policy will apply for the EUR -USA sector as well.
For example:
TRV-AI BOM-AI-FRA-DL-ATL
AI TRV BOM FRA MILEAGE 4865
DL FRA ATL MILEAGE 4606

Mileage on AI sector is greater than that on DL sector; hence AI baggage policy will apply for FRA-ATL sector travelled on DL and the TRV-FRA sector.

b) If the mileage travelled on the DL sector is higher than the DL baggage policy will apply for the EUR -USA sector.
For example:
BOM-AI-FRA-DL-ATL
AI BOM FRA MILEAGE 4082
DL FRA ATL MILEAGE 4606
Mileage on DL sector is greater than that on AI sector hence DL baggage* policy will apply for FRA-ATL sector and AI baggage policy will be applicable only for the BOM-FRA sector.
* DL baggage policy for passengers travelling between USA/Canada & Europe is : 1st bag free and 2 nd bag for economy passengers to be charged at 50 EUR/CAD/USD(CAD amount will be charged exit Canada, EUR amount will be charged exit Europe and USD amount will be charged exit USA)
