my biggest bug bear is reserved for airport trolleys. If you ask me, Every self respecting airport should offer an array of trolleys but alas trying to find one can prove as elusive as a taxi on New Year’s Eve.

Flying can be fun- unless that is you’re sat next to the flight neighbour from hell (for 10 of the worst travelling companions check out http://www.cd-traveller.com/2009/12/11/the-worlds-worst-flying-companions/).
However help could soon be at hand: Dutch airline, KLM. and Malaysian airlines are already testing a new programme that allows passengers to pick their in-flight neighbours by evaluating Facebook and LinkedIn profiles before take-off and other airlines are expected to follow suit.

Most people associate the word, air travel, with long queues, the ridiculous removal of shoes and belts, dehydration, seats that don’t recline and cantankerous cabin crew.

As regular readers of CD-Traveller will know, I recently returned from a stint in China. As I am not going back to Beijing, I only needed a one way flight rather than a return, but was put off purchasing a single ticket when I discovered that it cost almost as much as a round trip.

“I don’t believe people fly because they like the idea of flying.”
That came out of the mouth of Willie Walsh, the head of British Airways in an interview with BBC’s “Costing the Earth” on Radio 4. I listened to it twice because the first time I wasn’t sure that I really heard it but it was still on the repeat so why these intriguing words?

Not being a bedtime reader of the magazine Superconductor Science and Technology, I would have missed a story completely without the BBC catching it and running the story about Hilbert spectroscopy. Without being scientific, let me summarise the jist of the piece.
