Listen up, Big Travel! These fixes would make travel more pleasant for us and maybe save you money. 
If you can get a 300-ton hunk of iron and aluminum into the sky, surely you can figure out a way for us to use our phones too? 
The 4 p.m. check-in has become the norm. Could someone please inform hotels about flights that land before noon?
Some hotels now have sockets to suit many of these plugs. But it would be easier, and better, to have one universal socket to rule them all. 
We'd like to leave the restaurant when we want to, not when the waiter decides we can.
Don't be fooled - that's 13 rupees, not 130. It's time taxi fares from the airport to the city were reduced and enforced. 
Upgrades - should they really be so hard to score? They're good for word of mouth PR and entice customer loyalty. Let's see them more often please.
Responsible for more mashed knees than the UFC, these 300-pound chariots of doom present passengers in aisle seats with a constant danger and cost airlines millions. 
How many times do we need to be told "this is a completely full flight"? How many "last and final calls for boarding" are necessary? 
Why do we need a napkin every time someone on an airplane hands us four ounces of water? A small redwood forest could be recycled from the napkins airlines plow through each year. 
You spot the ad, but it needs to be easier to find and book the ticket. (CNN) -- Airplane travelers will soon be able to watch videos and play games with their electronic devices throughout their entire flight -- and not just above a certain altitude -- the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday in a long-anticipated announcement.
But don't expect to be chatting on your cell phone. A ban on using cell phones for voice communication remains in effect.
The FAA, following months of study by a group of aviation experts, said Thursday that airlines can soon allow passengers to use portable electronic devices such as tablets, laptop computers, e-readers and cell phones in airplane mode throughout the flight -- with some circumstantial restrictions.
Can your cell phone bring down a plane?
Why can't you use your phone on a plane? Until now, passengers in the United States were prohibited from using the devices until their plane rose above 10,000 feet. The timing of the changes will depend on individual airlines, but an FAA statement said it expects "many carriers will prove to the FAA that their planes allow passengers to safely use their devices in airplane mode, gate-to-gate, by the end of the year."
"Each airline will determine how and when this will happen," FAA administrator Michael Huerta told reporters Thursday morning at Reagan Washington National Airport.
Some fliers admit leaving devices on in flight
The FAA had long claimed that using electronic devices during takeoff and landing posed a safety issue and that radio signals emitted from the devices could interfere with an aircraft's communications, navigation and other systems.
But a panel that the FAA established last year to study the issue concluded that most commercial airplanes can tolerate radio interference signals.
Before an airline switches to the relaxed rules, airlines will have to prove to the FAA that their aircraft can tolerate the interference. Airlines have, over the years, built newer planes with portable electronics in mind, hardening them against electromagnetic interference.
Opinion: Cell phones on planes? For texting, not gabbing
