Swiss Air Cleans The Air: Relief For Allergy Sufferers

It happens all too frequently. You settle into your airline seat, then eyes water, nose stuffs up and sneezing starts. You have allergies, and it’s difficult to breathe stuffy airline cabin air. It’s full of pollen, dust, smokers’ clothes, pet fur and other pollutants. Now, to find relief, you can hope your airline will soon follow Swiss Air’s new policy.

The European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation has declared Swiss Air the first airline to be allergy-friendly. The squeaky-clean carrier uses many systems to keep pumping fresh air into the cabins, as well as doing thorough cleaning of the seating, bulkheads, aisles, lavatories and other areas.

Deadliest Catch boat offers liveliest tour

King crab, Alaska

If you’re an avid fan of the hit TV show, Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel, as we are, this experience can be for you. It’s called the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen’s Tour. It’s a four-hour tour out of Ketchikan, Alaska, scheduled during the relatively mild weather of May through September.

Even in those quiet months, the Bering Sea trip is not for sissies. The crabbing boat, Aleutian Ballard, takes up to 149 hardy passengers on each sailing to get a taste of what the real sailors go through in their tough jobs.

If you’re interested in this great experience, and you plan to be on an Inside Passage cruise or will just be in Ketchican for the day, check out this tour.
