What inspired you to get into the airline industry?

Travel, I was lucky enough to travel extensively with my parents as a child, I have always loved travelling and discovering new places, seeing how others live, meeting new people and sharing their cultures.

 

The innovation, BA was one of two airlines to ever fly supersonic and was the first airline to introduce the first fully flat bed in business class and revolutionise the industry for the future. British Airways was also the first airline to introduce the first ever in-flight email and text service on the all-business class route between London City and New York (JFK) and an iPhone application for its customers .

 

1. An upgrade
2. An exit row seat- they can now prepay for this extra leg room
3. On Board internet access through the in-flight entertainment system - without a laptop.

Innovation is a great thing; it's amazing what changes in just a short space of time. Five years ago, we thought it was impossible to access the internet from our mobile phones, and these days you can access the internet from almost anywhere. There is always room for innovation and in time I believe we will see some amazing feats that we never thought possible.

 

We've begun to see airlines bringing back the glamour of travel - the exclusivity, the attention to detail and re-defining the prestige of travelling First Class. Perhaps in the next five to ten years, we may even see personalised computers in business class enter the industry.

 

That is a hard one there are so many, I want to dive the red sea in Sharm el Sheik. I haven't made it to the Caribbean and I am hoping to make it to South America later in the year!

Victoria Falls Hotel - The colonial charm combined with the spectacular natural beauty of the falls make for a wonderful experience.

Depending on the flight path Sydney can be a spectacular sight when you fly in from the North. Hong Kong is quite impressive too and recently have experienced Capetown, becoming a new favourite.

 

Thankfully I seem to be quite blessed when it comes to jet lag. I can arrive into London and do a full days work. That said I always make sure I get straight into the time zone at my destination, if I arrive early morning I will stay awake all day and have an early night.

The general experience of travelling, meeting new people and really getting to understand how they live - some of my fondest travel memories are those where you are just watching people go about their lives, learning how they live.
