There are a lot of factors that can influence the quality of your experience of flying on a commercial airline. But what are the big ones that have the most impact on how passengers judge how good their flying experience is?
Back in 2015, the flight booking company Skyscanner surveyed 2,000 international passengers to find out what they felt mattered most. They identified three big things affected how passengers evaluated the quality of their flight:
But Skyscanner took it to the next level. They worked with a statistician at the University of Sheffield to create a formula that you can use to find out, before you fly, how good your flight is likely to be. And we've taken that math and built the following tool you can use when planning your next flight!
Just enter the indicated information, following the links we've provided to get it if you don't have it handy, click the "Calculate" button and the tool will do the rest. If you're accessing this article on a site that republishes our RSS news feed, please click through to our site to access a working version.
We've set two of the three defaults for options that will likely result in a good flying experience for you, and one that won't. The one that probably won't is the seat pitch, which we set at a value that's consistent with what you'll find in "Economy" class.
As for the Potential Flight Quality Score, here's the decoder ring for interpreting the tool's results:
Playing with the various options, we found it surprising at how much the seat pitch influences the tool's results. Most combinations we tried with typical seat pitch dimensions result in flights that most passengers would not describe as either good or okay. Which if you think about it, is pretty consistent with what most passengers experience when they fly today.
