What we eat during the flight

To feed the passengers in air is a direct task of each airline. Each airport has the specialized enterprises delivering round the clock various kinds of a feed on boards of planes. And it is quite specific business  - the experts of this profession learn it only from their own experience…
Industrial subtleties
It appears, that there are two kinds of “onboard feed” - “direct” and “return”. The first one - is recently prepared and stored at +5 degrees temperature food. The second one - is the half prepared frozen portions hardly underdone or hardly undercooked. It is necessary, that at warming up (the cook specifies how many minutes are required to a concrete dish in an accompanying piece of paper) it “cunningly” in the onboard microwave oven of the plane by the moment of submission on a leaning back aviation little table.
Usually firms deliver not only meal, but also various account materials (a paper, napkins, air fragrances) in planes, lease the equipment, for example, containers. And it is necessary to deliver all this aboard for one and a half hour before the take off. And sometimes in a rush hour when the schedule of flights skips, and it is necessary to give 20 000 - 30 000 portions, not all turns out. It is clear, that here in a competition the one who is closer to airfield, who is more quickly, works more operatively. Certainly, the essential role is also played with quality and the price.
Our choice
The ordinary passenger can “order nothing in advance”, even if he flies in the raised comfort of a business class. The preference can be defined on hot, cold dishes, but only depending on what the board team will order. The set of all “packages” is always defined by a preliminary choice of airline. Some, the most economical, airlines order only cold dishes, and some airlines - only a tea table (at short flights). However, we have one more choice - “to eat or not to eat”.

Chinese hotels will rise in price

In connection with the official beginning of tickets sale for Olympiad in Peking the experts tourist firms have been offered to predict the demand for this event. As it was found out, the clients have not shown special interest to Olympic China yet.
However, now the operators have no ready programs as they expect offers from the Chinese partners. Those, in turn, have not defined with the prices for summer 2008 yet. According to some information, the average cost of accommodation during Olympiad can grow five times. This means that the hotels, which now cost $50 per day, may increase the price up to $250-300. It is very high rod for China, and such rise in prices can stop sales. Also there is no clearness in occasion of transportation. So, whether charter flights will be allowed in Peking is under the question.
In general, concerning forthcoming Olympiad, the participants of the tourist market regard forecasts extremely cautiously, recollecting a pitiable situation with sales of Olympic Games in Athens and Atlanta. It is not excluded, as this time all will pass under the same script - an artificial agiotage, that unjustified overestimate of the prices may cause absence of adequate demand. For example a week at three star hotel during the Olympiad, including some tickets for not on the most prestigious competitions, without the additional options, will cost $1500-1700. Besides that now it is possible to find high-grade excursion tours in cost less than $900. And the price of ten-day trip with tickets for opening ceremony or closings will start with 5-6 thousand US dollars.
