Mobile Use Takes Off

There has been a significant increase in mobile device usage for air travel among survey respondents.

Fliers seem skeptical about the need to shut off their beloved mobile devices.

Shh Anti-social in the Air

When it comes to flying, the majority of travelers have no interest in socializing.

Not even a presidential candidate could get some fliers to come out of their shell: 33 percent would not choose to sit next to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, or Newt Gingrich, if given the opportunity.
