Here at the Journeywoman office,
we thought it would be fun to dream about how things would work
if women owned and operated an airline solely for women. With tongue
in cheek we pondered the perks, privileges and services we would
offer our passengers on JWoman Air,
the airline of choice for female travellers worldwide.

Never more than three minutes
wait...
At
JWoman Air we employ an army of women worldwide
who are at home bringing up their children. These women sign
in to work during their children's naptimes, etc. With so
many employees in so many time zones you never have to wait
more than three minutes to speak to a live person. Just state
your preferred language and you will be connected with a woman
who can 'speak your language' in every sense of the word.
You will be quoted one price only. There are no added taxes
or costs at JWoman Air. Get the reservations
done quickly and you'll have time to chat about travel tips,
recipes, the latest fashions, your favorite book -- whatever
strikes both your fancies. P.S.
If you do wait longer than three minutes to speak to an operator
your flight is free, no questions asked.

Tweezers, toothbrush
and
lip balm...
As passengers board any
of our JWoman aircraft,
they would automatically
receive a
complimentary packet
containing essentials to keep their body healthy
and well
groomed
en
route
--
lip balm, a small bottle of moisturizer, a
bottle of purified water, a
travel toothbrush combined
with mini toothpaste and a pair of disposable tweezers (Ask
any beauty maven. She'll
tell you that the light in airline washrooms is ideal for
plucking
your eyebrows).

|
Duvets and feather pillows...
It's first class and
equality all the way! Every seat on the
JWoman aircraft would have equal legroom and all
seats would be completely reclinable. Any passenger who wanted
to nap could request one of our freshly laundered mini duvets,
a mini feather pillow and a sleepmask scented with lavender
to inspire sleep. |

Take back the arm rests...
It's a fact that men
generally have bigger arms than women. It's also a fact that
on all other airlines men (without malice) generally monopolize
the arm rests leaving women with their arms tucked by their
sides. On JWAir flights the arm rests belong
to each and every passenger. Two smaller female arms fit easily
on one armrest and when they don't we have a 'sharing' rule
that, of course, everybody follows.

Women's travel tips and
seat sales...
Once
a JWoman Air flight reaches cruising altitude, the
pilot would welcome the passengers onboard and she would chat
about their destination -- offering her female friendly hints
about hotels, great shopping and restaurants where a solo
traveller could dine without hassles.
JWoman Air
would offer frequent seat sales for destinations
with great shopping opportunities. For example, bargain hunters
know that Harrods in London, England holds a mega store-wide
clearance each January. In order for travellin' women to be
able to take advantage of these great shopping opportunities,
all fares for JWoman flights
to Heathrow Airport would be reduced at that time of the year.
And, instead of two suitcases per person, every woman would
be allowed three to carry all their wonderful new goodies
home. How's that for female-friendliness?

Magazines, wine and washrooms...
On
JWoman Air flights cheerful
attendants would always be at your disposal. From their
trolleys they would dispense extra complimentary bottled
water, fresh fruit juices, herbal teas, every type of woman's
magazines, lo-fat snacks, JWoman
Airline T-shirts and wine if you wanted it (however,
it would be mandatory for the flight attendant to gently
warn the passenger that alcohol is dehydrating and might
increase jetlag symptoms).
Bathrooms would be in
a separate area of the plane and, of course, there would
be twice as many units as other airlines offer. There would
be fresh flowers in each and at least one washroom would
be used exclusively for mothers travelling with babies and
young children. These units would be equipped with a separate
sitting room containing rocking chairs for soothing breastfeeding,
changing tables, disposable diapers, wet wipes and baby
powder. Worried about the danger in trying to change your
baby during air turbulence? Don't fret! Our female pilots
are superb. There is never a trace of turbulence on any
of our JWoman Airline
flights.
