Frequent Flyer Poll Results - family section and less restrictions on award flights
I know that there have been many threads on a lot of the topics covered by this poll. I found the results interesting.....
The Maritz Poll, which surveyed passengers who had flown during the past six months, found that:
Nearly three-quarters (73%) believe that there should be a segregated family section on all aircraft.
Of those who attempted to redeem airline miles for flights, 80% were able to get a seat on a flight that fitted their travel plans. But frequent flier programmes are still a sore spot for the 67% of respondents who said that their opinion of airlines is negatively affected by the tightening of policies regarding loyalty miles expiring.
Although some people can't seem to live without their Blackberry or mobile phone, 56% said that passengers should continue to disconnect during flight. Only 27% said it was a good thing.
When asked which two services or options they'd be willing to pay extra for, respondents overwhelming chose extra leg room (63%) and better food (42%).
About one-third (34%) of first class travellers said that they would be more inclined to fly with an airline that offered gourmet food with a well-known chef in the first class section. And when asked about healthy dining options in airports, 57% said there weren't enough options. If healthy fast food was offered in the airport, 69% said they would take advantage of that facility.
