So THAT'S What The Hook On Your Airplane Tray Table Is For? Turns out airline tray tables can carry more than just food crumbs and germs. That little hook attached to some tray table knobs is actually a coat hook, Lifehacker points out. Of course, it works for hanging items like earphones and sweaters, too. On some plane seats, you’ll find the coat hook next to your tray table or on the side of the seat instead. Others don’t have a hook at all, sadly. Whether or not a plane has a coat hook is a matter of airline preference. You see, airlines order their planes from manufacturers like Boeing, then customize the interiors with the help of companies like Rockwell Collins, which manufactures airplane seats. Indeed, that tray table hook is “a coat hook option that some airlines take” when designing their cabins, a spokeswoman for Rockwell Collins told HuffPost. The more you know.

Extreme turbulence leaves passengers needing surgery people were injured and some needed surgery for fractures after their flight encountered "severe turbulence" . The Boeing 777 flight from Moscow to Bangkok got into difficulty 40 minutes before landing in the Thai capital, according to Russian airline Aeroflot. Among the injured were 24 Russian nationals and three Thai. One passenger reported broken noses and babies "covered in bruises" , while adding "several people have probably broken their spines" .  A video shared online by the passenger shows people lying injured between aisles, with luggage and food spread around the cabin. After the plane safely landed, 15 Russian passengers were sent to a hospital for treatment, three of whom have had operations. "All the injured were sent to a local hospital with injuries of a different kind of severity, mainly fractures and bruises," the Russian embassy in Thailand said, without giving furt...

It is unlikely you will ever feel lucky when you get a parking ticket. But a new study has revealed how living or working in a particular part of the country may mean you have a greater chance of getting off. It shows Runneymede Borough Council accepted just 9% of challenges between January and October 2016, with Staffordshire County Council only marginally more persuadable at 10%. Meanwhile, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council were much more amenable, waiving more than 95% of fines. Parking wardens 'told to target the elderly' The results indicated regional variations, too. In Berkshire, drivers in Slough (23%) were nearly three times less likely to get off a penalty than in Bracknell Forest (64%), situated half-an-hour away. In Medway, Kent, motorists were half as likely to have their parking ticket cancelled (32%) than in neighbouring Swale, where 71% of appeals were accepted. On average, 38% of challenges to on-street fines made to local councils in Eng...

Chaos As One Million Passengers Hit Rail and Underground Tube Strikes  Sections of the Central line, used by more than 800,000 passengers a day were closed with severe delays to the remainder of the route. There was no service at the Eastern end between Leytonstone and Epping via Woodford with delays throughout central London to West Ruislip.

Southern commuters changing to South West Trains services arriving at Waterloo were then hit by the strike on the Waterloo & City line. There we...

London weather:  Thick Fog Cause Destruction  Flights in and out of London’s airports have been hit by major delays and cancellations as a blanket of thick fog descended on the capital.   Londoners awoke on Saturday to mist and thick fog which has sparked severe travel disruption at the capital’s airports on one of the busiest days for passengers in the winter as people head off on Christmas getaways.  Scores of flights at Heathrow and London City Airport have been grounded, diverted or cancelled with planes also held up at Gatwick.  Private Airport Tranfer Heathrow to London City Airport Ontime Bosses at City Airport described the fog as “ significant ” as they urged travellers to check journeys with their airlines.  Angry passengers complained they were stranded on runways for up to four hours because of the visibility at London’s hubs.   Martin Gilbraith tweeted: “ Canarian sunshine beckons, but pretty much ever...

Various security measures are used to protect the US President when he travels : a rocket-grenade launching limo, hundreds of Secret Service staff - and perhaps even a body double. When Barack Obama rolled into town for the G20 summit in Australia , it seems his lookalike wasn't far away. As the President was driven through the streets of Brisbane in his heavily guarded limousine dubbed The Beast, a "decoy" Barack Obama was snapped by a local newspaper photographer - apparently in a decoy Beast. The unnamed possible Obama lookalike even did the obligatory wave for the cheering crowd, the Courier-Mail reported. If this is a presidential decoy, it's not the first time a world leader has had a body double. Former dictator Saddam Hussein apparently had multiple lookalikes during his time as head of Iraq and it has been claimed Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had up to six. The leader of the free world and his decoy are photographed in separate Beasts as t...
