Topic: Economy class


  
  Economy class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Economy class, also known as coach class, is the lowest class of seating in airline and train travel.
Premium economy is often provided as a free upgrade to elite frequent flyer program members and passengers flying full-fare economy, but some airlines also allow non-elite customers to pay an additional fee for a confirmed reservation in the premium section.
A typical meal in economy class outside of the US is meat, vegetables, rice, a bun, some sort of dessert, tea, coffee and water.

 Travel class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within each travel class there are often different fare classes, relating to ticket or reservation restrictions and used to enhance opportunities for price discrimination.
Airline fare classes are commonly indicated by letter codes, but the exact hierarchy and terms of these booking codes vary greatly from carrier to carrier.
The A and Z codes may indicate a first class ticket whose fare is reduced due to restrictions on refunds, advance reservation requirements, or other terms.

 Economy Class Syndrome / DVT Lawsuit Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Find Trial Lawyers and Attorneys with ...
Economy class syndrome, medically known as deep vein thrombosis, typically occurs when people remain motionless for an extended period of time.
Deep vein thrombosis has been called the economy class syndrome because of the misconception that those travelers in first class have more room to stretch and are thus less likely to remain motionless for an extended period.
While it is true that first class passengers do have more legroom, if they do not take advantage of such room and occasionally move about, they can become victims of economy class syndrome just like their coach counterparts.

 ECONOMY CLASS SYNDROME
It was called THE ECONOMY CLASS SYNDROME on the theory that close seats cause a person to bend his knees which slow the flow of blood in the legs enough to cause clots to form.
People who fly in planes in economy class with their knees bent are no more likely to suffer leg clots than those who do anything else.
Fly economy class and feel secure that people who fly first class are still not going to enjoy better health than you, even though they may be more comfortable.

Stanley Mohler at Wright State University School of Medicine, an international authority on aerospace medicine, the term "economy class syndrome" was coined to identify the effects of blood clots developed in the deep veins of the legs after sitting for prolonged periods in cramped conditions -- notably the coach sections of commercial airplanes.
