What is a good discount business class ticket?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To find a good deal on fancy plane tickets, there are a few things to think about:

Percentage Discount: If there's a big percentage off the usual price, like 30% or more, it's usually a good deal.

Absolute Price: Look for tickets that cost way less than the regular ones. A lower overall cost means a good deal.

Airlines and Routes: Some airlines and routes might have better discounts. Compare prices from different ones to find a cheaper option for where you want to go.

Booking Period: Discounts are often during specific times or sales. Keep an eye out for those to get better prices.

Flexible Dates: If you can be flexible with when you travel, you might find better deals. Flights on weekdays or during less busy times can be cheaper.

Membership and Loyalty Programs: If you're part of a frequent flyer program or have loyalty with an airline, you might get cheaper tickets.

Bundle Packages: Some travel agencies or airlines offer deals that include a hotel or car rental along with a discounted fancy ticket.

Upgrades: Instead of buying a fancy ticket right away, consider getting a cheaper one and upgrading later with miles or cash. Sometimes, this can be a smarter and cheaper choice.

Keep in mind, what's a good deal can be different for everyone. Think about what you like, how much you can spend, and what you need for your trip. Always compare prices, read reviews, and check the rules before making a choice.

Why did people not want to get into life boats in the Titanic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Titanic was equipped with only 20 lifeboats. She had 14 regular lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each, 2 emergency lifeboats (Boats 1 and 2, which were stowed in the swung-out position) with a capacity of 40 each, and 4 Englehardt collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 each. The collapsibles had wooden hulls, but with canvas sides that could be cranked up when needed. Collapsibles C and D were stowed inboard of Boats 1 and 2 at the very forward part of the Boat Deck and Collapsibles A and B were stowed upside down on the roof of the Officers' Quarters on either side of #1 funnel.

There were 2228 passengers on the Titanic. Probably life boats were not made because people believed the ship was unsinkable and also because they wanted to make as much money as possible, so whoever could pay was cramped into the steerage.

Answer

There were 2,227 people on board, but the total capacity of the 16 lifeboats and 4 collapsible boats was 1,178 people, which was only sufficient for 52% of the passengers.

There was a lack of lifeboats because of:

  • Outdated maritime safety regulations : British Board of Trade laws stated that ships weighing more than 10,000 tons must carry at least 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 5,500 cubic feet - These regulations were based on the world's then-largest ship in 1890s.
  • The total lifeboats of a ship were determined by the volume of the ship, i.e. the ship's GRT (Gross Registered Tons) and not by the total number of passengers and crew the ship could carry.
  • the White Star Line's wish to leave the decks unobstructed so that the passengers could have better views,
  • the White Star Line's wish to give the ship more aesthetics from an exterior view (for another example, the Titanic had 4 funnels, but the fourth funnel was a dummy which was added because "it made the ship look better.")
  • the belief that in an emergency, Titanic's design would enable her to stay afloat long enough for her passengers and crew to be transferred safely to a rescue vessel.
  • Never anticipating that everyone would have to be evacuated rapidly at the same time.

How ice berg formed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Icebergs are blocks of fresh-water ice that break off from glaciers and float out to sea. Glaciers are formed in polar regions where snowfall lasts for centuries, or even millennia, without entirely melting, and is eventually compressed into ice.

In the North Atlantic, most icebergs originate from the tidewater glaciers of Western Greenland. Compressed snow becomes firm, a granular snow, transformed eventually by pressure into a dense ice. The weight of the icecap builds, causing the ice to flow as much as 60 feet a day through openings in the coastal mountains. Most arctic icebergs melt before they ever reach the Atlantic Ocean.

We located iceberg information at the National Ice Center, a federal operational center that provides sea-ice analyses and forecasts. From their page of Iceberg links, it was a short jump to the St. John's International Ice Patrol (IIP) Iceberg FAQ. The mission of the IIP is to patrol the busy, hazardous North Atlantic shipping lanes, to protect the maritime community from icebergs and to prevent disasters ofTitanic proportions.

It's a show where a number of adults lives in a specific "wilderness" and has to work together to build shelter and find food and compete in a series of games as teams and individuals. Every 3rd night, one team goes to tribal council, where one person gets voted off the island. Ultimately, they all are competing for 1 million dollars and a car. Jeff Probst is the host for this show.

There are also hidden immunity idols now, they are mostly hidden the rewards for tribes. If you have the hidden immunity idol and you play it for yourself or somebody else at tribal council (When Jeff asks) the votes (if any) for you or that person don't count.

The runner-up also gets $100,000.
