Travel Trends for 2015


Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

Gone are the days of physically going to an airport check-in counter to get a boarding pass, racking up fees phoning home from abroad, and lugging around heavy wallets stuffed with cards. Now, our smart phones double as our wallets and there’s an app for pretty much everything.

Each year the travel industry takes a step forward - so let’s see what’s in store for 2015:

The new wallet - If it hasn’t already, your cellphone will become your wallet. You can sync your credit and debit cards with Google Wallet (for Android) or Apple’s Passbook (iOS) and buy things simply by placing your phone in front of a sensor at checkout.

Take networking to new heights - Delta’s innovation class features a mentoring program - at 35,000 feet. Applicants can apply through LinkedIn to earn a seat beside business, art, and technology leaders like music producer Ryan Lewis, cofounder of Gilt, Alexandra Wilson, creator of Pebble Smartwatch, Eric Migicovsky and more. Additionally, utilize social media for KLM’s Meet & Seat program or Virgin Airlines’ in flight social network.

Easier boarding - Boeing is introducing its new overhead Space Bins for 737s which will appear on Alaska Airlines flights later this year. The bins will hold up to 174 carry ons, a 49% increase from their current capacity, and hang two inches lower as to not have to lift bags as high.

Making dinner reservations -Apps like Killer Rezzy, Resy, and I Know the Chef already exist in NYC, but more apps are helping to open doors at the busiest hot spots - even at the last minute. All the apps basically work the same way, they charge a fee for same-day seats (typically less than $25) and all have big plans for expansion.
