Igen, ez a változás természetesen érinti az esküvődet is, de ha az esküvőipar is szinte percenként fejlődik, ha napról napra újabb ötletek és megvalósítások látnak napvilágot, akkor miért szerveznéd az esküvődet most is úgy, azon az elven, ahogyan tette azt a barátnőd 2 éve vagy tették a szüleid néhány tíz évvel ezelőtt?
Az esküvő szervezést is hozzá kell igazítani a változáshoz!
Nem engedheted meg magadnak, hogy ne legyen tökéletes az esküvőd. De mi kell ehhez? Hogyan érhetsz el fergeteges hangulatot? Esküvő szolgáltatók interjúi között számtalan meglátás olvasható:
"A jó szervezésen, és hogy a házasulandók, vagy a szülők ne izguljanak, hogy minden rendben lesz-e. Ezért javasoljuk az esküvőszervezőt."
"Az esküvő sikere szerintem több összetevős dolog; kell hozzá egy jó vőfély, egy nagyon jó zenekar, természetesen egy nagyon jó esküvőszervező, és a násznép összetétele is nagyban befolyásolja az esküvő sikerességét"
"Esküvőszervezőként arra törekszem, hogy megvalósítsam az ifjú pár álmait és vágyait; ami rájuk hárulna teher, azt átvállaljam, így biztosítva nekik a felhőtlen boldogságot a nagy napra."

The current regulations around Airline Cabin Baggage have been in place since 6th November 2006, but we are still seeing many questions over just what liquids can be brought into the cabin as hand luggage. The rules here are very precise, and cover drinks, medicines, make-up, toiletries, and even baby milk. The regulations are summarised here for simplicity, to help you avoid difficulties or delays at Airport Security.
What is the Definition of a Liquid?
In terms of Airport Security Rules, a liquid includes all of the following:
All drinks, including water, soup, syrups
Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara etc
Sprays and pressurized containers including shaving foam and spray deodorants
Pastes, including toothpastes
Gels, including hair and shower gel
Any other solutions and items of similar consistency
How Much Can I Take?
Obviously you can take as much as you like in the cargo hold, but in your hand luggage you are limited to containers holding no more than 100ml (note that a 200ml container half full is not permitted). All containers of liquid must be placed into a single, see-through and re-sealable plastic bag.
Travellers are encouraged not to take items in hand luggage which are capable of holding liquids (for example, bottles, flasks, tubes, cans, plastic containers, etc). This should help avoid unnecessary delays.
So What's This About a Plastic Bag?
The plastic bag allows the liquids being carried by a passenger to be easily checked by airport security. The rules which must be followed are:
The bag must be the transparent, re-sealable type
The capacity of the bag must be no more than 1 litre (approximately 20cm by 20cm)
The contents must sit comfortably in the bag and the bag must be sealed
The re-sealable bag of liquids should be prepared before arriving at the airport
Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids
The one item of cabin baggage which can be taken through the airport search point is in addition to the bag of liquids
What About Essential Medicines?
Prescription medicines in liquid form which are essential for the journey (such as a diabetic kit) can be taken in hand luggage, but be prepared to prove their authenticity.
What About Baby Milk and Baby Food?
Baby milk and liquid baby food may be taken in hand luggage, and are not subject to the 100 ml limit, but the contents of each bottle or jar must be tasted by an accompanying passenger.
What About Duty Free / Departure Lounge Purchases?
You may take as hand luggage any Duty Free items you purchase in the shops in the departure lounge, or 'airside'. These will be given to you in a special sealed bag which should not be opened until you reach your final destination, and you should keep your proof of purchase.
Note that there are additional considerations for duty free purchases for your return flight if you will be changing flight at an EU airport.
Summary
Limited liquids are now permitted as hand luggage, but if you want to avoid delays and difficulties at the airport then you should ensure you understand the above rules and prepare your bag of liquids before you get to the airport.

Recently the big news with Thailand’s new Bangkok airport is continued allegations of corruption and that the new Bangkok airport has some serious flaws with the runways and some of the computer systems. There is some concern as they are talking about moving some of the regional flights back to the old Bangkok airport this would be a major headache for travelers, as you could figure that a lot of people would miss flights that needed to transfer between the two airports, which are on different sides of Bangkok which like LA is scientifically measured not in miles or kilometers, but time units based on day, time, weather, local events and witchcraft
Having been through the new airport several times now it seems to be working fine, on a project this size you would naturally anticipate that there would be teething pains. The first time that I went through the new Bangkok airport my main complaint, besides being so ugly that you need sunglasses to dull the aesthetic ache a bit, was how to find the taxi stands. When you come out of the arrivals it is all limos and charter taxis (which will cost you 5 times as much as a metered cab), with a bit of looking I found out that they are down one flight of stairs. On this trip with my uncles flights from LA due to arrive early I needed to find out how to get a bus to Pattaya quick. Scanning the signage was not very productive, even the signage to find the information booth is hard to find. They do however have excellent signage if you are looking for employee parking, or where they cook the food for the flights or the water treatment plant. Call me silly, but it seems to me that not many people are looking for those things when they get off a flight, but what do I know, maybe they are listed as attractions in the new Lonely Planet? Speaking of water treatment plants, they do not have enough bathrooms and the ones that they have are all ready flooded, Sorry I mean falling apart, you might want to consider going again on the plane before you get off or stop at a gas station I am sure either option is going to be better that the restrooms here.
Another surprise, this one pleasant, was on the arrivals level I picked up a free WIFI signal and got a few emails out and did a little surfing. Another pleasant surprise I was not expecting was being allowed to wait outside the arrival gate, and not be forced to wait in with the placard folks and fight for position with the pros. At the old airport they had an area ahead of you, and you had to get your loved ones quick before the taxi and limousine touts latched on to them, if you were too late you would be forced to pry your loved one from their very determined clutches. In closing all in all everything is just OK, but I do have to say that with time this is still going to be butt ugly airport.

The BBC Watchdog programme on Tuesday 27th February 2007 issued a word of warning to travellers making use of Airport Parking 'Meet and Greet' services. An unscrupulous operator, who has now thankfully ceased trading, took payment to park a traveller's vehicle in a secure compound for 5 days, only to drive it at 106 miles an hour and leave it for 3 days at the kerbside or at a supermarket 'goods in' entrance.
The programme reported other worrying stories too. One traveller was almost prosecuted for failing to stop after an accident which occurred while she was on holiday, and there were other stories about damage caused to vehicles which should have been locked safely away in a secure compound.
But it is not all doom and gloom.
A representative of Gatwick Airport recommended travellers go to the airport website to check legitimate airport parking companies and book their Airport Car Parking Package that way.
I totally agree - up to a point...
Certainly check the airport websites for the legitimate airport parking companies, and obtain an online quote, but then compare those prices with the prices from other agents selling parking at the same car parks and I can almost guarantee you'll find a cheaper price than if you book via the airport website.
And don't forget, if you really want the best price from a reliable Airport Parking company, choose your Airport Parking company carefully and then make sure you book through an agent with a 7 Day Lowest Price Guarantee for its Airport Parking.

Most of us think that spending a few hundred dollars for a worn-out leather seat, maybe a new cup holder for our bottled water, and a few extra inches of legroom is luxury in a private jet interior. If this is your idea of luxury then you don’t know what luxury is.
Imagine dropping $40 million into private jet aircraft for starters, then plunk down another $10-$30 million on the finest plush carpeting, the rarest of fine woods, the most advanced entertainment systems then add palatial bedrooms to top it off before it’s final rollout.
You have just moved from reality to “The Mile High Club”
Talk about the ultimate “Pimp My Ride”. Corporations and the super rich are shelling out money like a teenager with his first car, dropping every penny he’s got on his first set of wheels. The corporation and super-rich spare no expense to make these private jets every bit a luxurious as the homes, hotels and offices they are accustomed to. The demand that the super-rich have required has fostered a new industry called “completion centers” These completion centers perform the same function as the custom hot rod shows or motorcycle shops perform. These shops are setting a new standard on what it means to fly private and fly in style.
What this new industry is doing is turning the private jet interiors into a place that you can spend 12 to 14 hours in luxury.
Unlike the cattle drives of the air in which most people fly, to describe the work that is done to these flying palaces as comfortable would be a gross understatement. So just what are some of the requirements of the corporations and the rich and famous? Try bedrooms and lavatories with gold plated fixtures, multiple kitchens and office suites. State of the art digital entertainment systems, antiques and just about anything your imagination and pocketbook can think of.
And the icing on the cake? A crew and staff with personal assistants, chefs an even a masseuse if that is what you so desire. With private jet interiors, the sky is the limit.
With some of the clients’ involved in these high- priced jets, security is also a major concern. Security and privacy aren't the only considerations. Companies outfitting supped-up planes have to satisfy the whims of clients who want air palaces, while at the same time watching the plane's weight and abiding by strict government rules that dictate what a jet can safely contain.
The bottom line, if you have the money and the desire, you can have one of the private jets tricked out to fit you every whim. Welcome to the real world of the rich and famous!

Maybe that still too steep for your budget, not to worry- you can still get the opportunity to fly these craft as Air-taxi companies will use the jets for their on-demand travel to local and regional airports nationwide, thereby avoiding the congestion of major hubs and delivering you closer to your destination.
The ingenuity of the American people strikes again! The bargain basement mfg costs developed by jet manufacturing companies, should allow small-plane passengers to enjoy all the convenience of a private jet. Think of it, no lines, check in, or delays- for the price of a business-class airline ticket or even cheaper. No baggage claim or security lines to wait in. DayJet in Delray Beach, Florida, has ordered 239 eclipse 500s made by Eclipse Aviation in Albuquerque, and plans to launce service as early as spring.
The service does no come without it drawbacks. Privacy for example is the size of a large sedan; these aircraft have little room for fancy extras, such as lavatory doors. The toilet in the Cessna’s Citation Mustang is separated from the cabin by a mere curtain. Austrian-based Diamond Aircraft Industries, makers of the five-seater D-Jet, may omit the bathroom altogether. The best advice is your modesty and your second cup of coffee on the ground. Let’s take a look at the three small private jets or micro jets that are on the horizon.
The Plane: Eclipse 500
The Company: Eclipse CEO Vern Raburn, a veteran of Microsoft, has raised more than $400 million in start-up funds and now has five prototypes being flight-tested.
The Key Technology: Raburn’s secret to cost savings is a fully automated, ultrafast manufacturing technology called friction-stir welding, which eliminates the need for rivet guns.
The Specs: $1.47 million, Six seats (including crew), Cruise speed: 432 mph
The Time Frame:Commercial flights are expected next spring.
The Plane: Citation Mustang
The Company: Industry veteran Cessna builds a range of aircraft, from small, propeller-driven planes to top-end business jets.
The Key Technology: The Integrated Garmin G1000 avionics digital display replaces most switches and dial gauges. This gives pilots better situational awareness by plotting out potential hazards on a map.
The Specs: $2.4 million, Six seats (including crew), Cruise speed: 391 mph
The Time Frame:Commercial flights should begin in 2006
The Plane: Diamond D-Jet
The Company:Austrian aviation company
Diamond is smaller than Cessna but more established than Eclipse; the D-Jet is its first jet-powered model.
The Key Technology: Made from composites, as Formula One racing cars are, the D-Jet will be lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic than a comparable aircraft made of aluminum.
The Specs: About $1 million, Five seats (including crew), Cruise speed: 363 mph
The Time Frame:Commercial flights are expected by 2007.
The bottom line is that when the cost to build a small private jet or micro jet drops- so will the cost charter and we can have live like the rich and famous
The following are a few of the airline policies current at the time of this writing, and are subject to change.
AirTran A+ Rewards expire 12 months after earned, so be prepared to use your miles within the year, or lose them
Alaska Mileage Plan miles expire after 3 years of inactivity, so be sure to fly on Alaska at least once every three years to keep your miles active
Aloha Airlines AlohaPass miles don't expire. Mahalo Aloha Airlines.
America West Dividend Miles expire after 18 months of inactivity, so plan to at least once every year and a half.
American Airlines AAdvantage Miles expire after 36 months of inactivity, so plan to fly American every 36 months if you want to continue earning miles
ATA Travel Awards points expire after 24 months, so use them before the two years are up
Continental offers OnePass and currently does not cancel or expire miles, so save up your miles for a special trip
Delta Skymiles previous program preserved for 36 months have been been reduced to expire after 24 months of inactivity, or until Delta expires, whichever comes first
Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns miles expire after two years of inactivity, thus the appropriately name program, Early Returns
Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles expire after 36 months of inactivity, can you really wait three years to get back to Hawaii?
JetBlue TrueBlue miles expire 1 year after the miles are earned, so you may not get a chance to use your frequent flyer miles, but at least the rates are low
Midwest offers Midwest Miles that expire if no additional miles are earned in 36 months, not very original, but neither is the program name
Northwest Airlines WorldPerks miles expire if none are earned in 3 calendar years, because it may take three years to earn enough points to see the world
Southwest Rapid Rewards credits expire after 24 months, earn them rapidly and use them rapidly
United Airlines Mileage Plus lasts for 36 months until December 31, and then they will expire after 18 months
US Airways Dividend Miles were previously preserved for 36 months, now expire after 18 months of inactivity, just like the America West program
What do you do if your miles are about to expire and you do not have enough for that dream vacation? Spend your miles elsewhere, combine them or donate them. Many frequent flyer programs offer alternative ways to spend your hard earned miles. Many airlines offer the option to cash in your mileage credits for magazine or newspaper subscriptions, or use the credits towards other benefit purchases. Look at the affiliate airlines to determine if there is an opportunity for you to transfer miles to another airline partner and combine your miles for a much deserved getaway.
AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Midwest Airlines, Northwest Airlines, United Air Lines and US Airways participate in Operation Hero Miles, a program that enables you to easily donate unused frequent flyer miles to family members of wounded troops traveling to military hospitals to visit injured loved ones. For more information, please visit http://www.heromiles.org/
If you choose to donate your accumulated and unused frequent flyer miles to the Red Cross, the IRS even acknowledges this as a donation and a deduction. Just imagine, you can donate unused miles before they expire and the IRS recognizes it as a donation. America West FlightFund members may donate miles in 5000 mile increments into the Miles of Hope Program. Continental makes it easy for OnePass frequent flyer members to donate mileage through the web site or by calling customer service. Northwest Airlines offers two programs, you can donate a minimum of 5000 miles to the Red Cross, or you can donate $50 to the Red Cross and receive 500 WorldPerk frequent flyer miles in return. United Airlines frequent flyers may also participate with a minimum donation of 1000 miles. The frequent flyer miles collected by the Red Cross are used exclusively for disaster response.
