      Na een volledige eeuw vlucht, is er geen twijfel dat -Internet terzijde -civilian vliegreizen meer heeft gedaan om onze planeet te verkleinen dan welke andere industrie dan ook. De eerste commerciële passagiersvlucht in 1916 kost $ 5 en wordt uitgevoerd tussen Tampa en St. Petersburg. Sindsdien is het behoorlijk ver gevorderd. Toen Amerikaanse troepen werden getipt naar Duitse jet-blauwdrukken, investeerde Boeing $ 155 miljoen in het geld van vandaag om 's werelds eerste commerciële jet te ontwikkelen-de 707. Overseas-vluchten werden gebruikelijk en vliegreizen werden net zo glamoureus als de chicste hotels, clubs en catwalks.

       

      Maar de exclusiviteit en de kosten van passagiersvluchten kwamen snel in het vizier. Beginners die niet onderhevig waren aan strikte overheidsregels probeerden de jetset te ondermijnen en Southwest Airlines moest zich naar de rechtbank begeven voordat het de hemel in kon. In 1978 lanceerde de Airline Deregulation Act de prijsoorlogen, waarmee een race werd ingezet voor de efficiëntie van vliegreizen die sindsdien niet echt is geëindigd. Kust-tot-kustvluchten in de VS blijven goedkoper (en veel sneller) dan rijden.

       

      Today, air travel is all about information. Frequent flier programs are as numerous as planes in the air. Behavioral data at purchase is turning “abandoned cart" consumers into repeat customers. Soon, we will one day possess device-and app-based digital assistants who will be able to know exactly how and when we like to fly, and one-click, on-demand travel will take travel to a whole new altitude. The Uber-ization of air travel will bring the skies to Silicon Valley, and as flying becomes easier and more user-friendly, there’s no telling where our next destination will be.
