Being able to use laptop or handheld devices on the plane is a good news for frequent fliers, especially for business travelers. The test pilot adding Wi-fi on domestic Boeing 737-800s and MD-80s planes has been conducted successfully by American Airlines last year. Therefore, the company plans to add Wi-fi capabilities to its domestic flights starting this year. So far it already offers the Wi-fi service on Boeing 767 planes. The Wi-fi service on the plane will be offered popularly over the next two year. The service fees are affordable and variety for passengers, depending on how far they fly.
Following American Airlines, other airlines, such as Virgin Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines, have also started to offer the Wi-fi service in their flights. This is a new turning-point in technology development of airline industry.
I wondered what kind of topic should I choose for this research paper. Should I choose a topic which relates to my major or should I challenge myself with a new one. Finally I had a decision:
Most of companies recently have been affected by economic crisis. I would like to learn about how they are facing this issue through doing this research paper. The research will be narrowed by hotel businesses. And this is my first source:
Actually I don't know who the author is. All I know is the last name Howard and this person is from The New York Times. I found this article on the day having class with Mr. John Hickok. This article is short but it gives me a general idea how hotel companies face the financial crisis. They almost offer discounts and deals but each one has different strategy which I am interested in. It is also a source of inspiration for me to decide a topic for the research paper.
