Internet-booked trips also entail more activities (2.3 on average) than do trips booked offline (1.7 activities) or with no advance bookings (1.5). (TIA)

Wealthy international travelers are "the most hotly contested traveler demographic in the global airline industry," reports the Wall Street Journal. With rapid globalization and business growing in developing countries, airlines increasingly are tapping the higher profits possible on international flights. With about 54 million passengers expected in 2006, flights across the Atlantic are up about 29% in the past four years. Higher revenue on overseas flights will be instrumental in the global airline industry's anticipated record profit next year of $1.9 billion, says the International Air Transport Association.(Today in the Sky)
