Despite delays and baggage fees, most Americans think that travel is
better today than it was in 2001, according to a new survey.
The poll by online travel company Orbitz showed that 71 percent of
people think travel has improved during the last decade, with 61
percent saying that the ability to comparison shop online is the best
thing about travel in 2011 compared to a decade earlier.
"There
is a time and money factor," said Marita Hudson-Thomas, Orbitz's
director of public relations. "It's fast and it's easy now with online
bargain hunting, and people can make sure they are getting the absolute
best deal."
Eighty one percent said additional airline charges,
such as checked bag fees and paying for meals, were the worst things
about travel in 2011.
"Money is important to people,"
Hudson-Thomas said. "Anything that takes money out of their pocket,
people are not going to like."
The ability to choose seats was
the most popular part of the in-flight experience, with 27 percent of
people saying they found it particularly useful.
The poll of
1,000 Americans who have traveled within the last year also showed that
despite the massive increase in the use of smart phones over the last
decade, 76 percent of travelers who own them have not used one to book
travel arrangements.
But that could change as people become more comfortable with new technologies.
"Consumer behavior hasn't caught up with technology yet," she said. "I
absolutely think this number will rise, probably significantly."
