As U.S. Airlines Struggle, Foreign Carriers Innovate
Foreign carriers have been buying new planes and updating luzury offerings while U.S. carriers fall behind.
"Our family flew to (the United Kingdom) on Virgin airlines,'' said Geoff Caldwell of San Francisco. "They had advertised more legroom, and that they had. Leather seats and televisions (at every seat) were little bits of luxury that that were not found on other airlines. But most of all, the airfare was much less than the domestic airlines. The service was great in coach, and you did not feel that you were disturbing the flight attendants from their conversations with each other.''
