The Passenger Experience of Air Travel

Rezensionen / Stimmen

As the first to discuss the lived experience of air passengers and, especially, their in-flight experience, this is a genuinely ground-breaking book. Given the centrality of air travel to modern mobilities, this collection will quickly become a key contribution to the new critical mobilities work focussed on power relations and inequalities. * Nigel Morgan, University of Surrey, UK * A very thought-provoking book. It makes you critically reflect on air travel passengers' embodied and emotional practices in contested spaces. It unpacks air travel as a site of power, resistance, rights and responsibilities. By bringing in Covid-19 and the complex matter of mobility justice, it is a timely contribution to tourism theory. * Bente Heimtun, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Norway * The various authors, primarily business and tourism researchers at institutions in Australia and New Zealand, make an important contribution to the literature on the passenger experience of global air travel. Many topics this volume explores have received relatively little attention in tourism studies, in which the focus is more often on destinations or on motivational factors. Students and researchers will therefore find value in the quality information this volume offers. * T. Bottorff, University of Central Florida, USA, CHOICE connect, May 2023 Vol. 60 No. 9 *
