Travel talk: have your say
 RELATED
Travel always provides a wealth of experiences. Have you ever had an interesting, crazy, amazing or bizarre incident whilst overseas on business? We want to hear about what you've been up to. Have your say with CNN. If you cannot see your comments on this page, please check out our archives. The best airport in the world has to be Kathmandu in Nepal. I live over the flight path and a busy day amounts to around 20 flights. Nick Fry, Kathmandu, Nepal. I have traveled on virtually every airline for the past 40 years, and it is only the airlines of the United States that have begun this "charge for everything and anything" policy. Asian airlines, without a doubt, have better service in these regards; more efficient, friendlier, and a proof of it, is that their airplanes are usually fuller than their American counterparts. Someone is doing something wrong or someone is doing something very right. Atkinson Chenoweth, Tokyo. I am a big guy. I would like to sit in a three to four inch wider seat and with six inches or more leg room. Paul Prewer, Sydney, Australia. Airlines discontinuing traditional "perks" such as in-flight meals, free baggage allowance, etc., should know that perhaps the "wheel," as perceived by most ordinary air travelers, is not broken. So why fix it. Tony Cabrera, Saipan. I work in the Hotel industry and Yotels are designed for a very small market segment (room size matters and Yotels seem to me like sleeping in a coffin). It may work in some countries where you find a rather small size of people, but for $70 per night, it will only work elsewhere if meals are included. Carlos Garcia Caceres, Barcelona, Venezuela. Traveling for business, especially flying, has become downright torturous, humiliating and insulting. No matter how frequent a customer you are or your willingness to pay more for cordial, competent service in clean, comfortable settings, the management doesn't seem to get it. They figure we have to accept whatever they offer and then wonder why patronage is down. J. Brown, San Luis Obispo, California. When you spend 60-75 percent of your time traveling, size does matter in a hotel room. If, however, I'm only staying briefly overnight somewhere, a clean bed and bath are all I need. So I would be willing to stay in a Yotel in exchange for convenience, such as at an airport. Terrie, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The airports in the US could take a lesson from Incheon airport, near Seoul, South Korea. It is clean and its people friendly. I read about the mini Yotel. You can already get that in Seoul and it's a lot cheaper than $70.00. Don Walker, Houston. Hotels must have spacious room. Rooms must be kept absolutely clean and in order. The bath room must be sanitary and well maintained. Service must be assured by skilled and professional personnel. Ibrahim Sabbagh, Genoa, Italy. As long as hotel rooms are clean, have towels, bright lights, a sink to brush my teeth, and a shower, what more do you need? Bonnie, Cumberland, U.S. Wider and more comfortable airlines seats would be real nice. More legroom and enough room to use a laptop would be good and quieter announcements through plane speaker systems. Rusty Miller, Abita Springs, Louisiana. There is still very little in improvement in coach seating, which is what the majority of travelers have to use. I would like to see some improvement, especially on very long routes. Donna Stinson, Huntington Beach, California. I would like to see some change made to the economy class of seats. Yes, first class is always changing, but in the economy section, leg space and tray table get tighter. Why don't you do some thing for the poor travelers in the back of the aircraft? Give us some space so that we can enjoy the trip too. Michael, Freeport. All the airlines treat coach (and in some cases even business) passengers as an inconvenience. So you might as well be treated badly for as little expense as possible. David Wilkie, York, U.K. Airline seating has been improving a lot when it comes to first and business, but the opposite is true for economy seating. I sometimes think that the space provided for passengers in economy class in most airlines is smaller than what is permissible for prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions. Antonio Varela, Dubai. U.A.E.
