Friday the 13th flight: AOL travel live superstitious sky

 Friday the 13th flying. He scares away flyers? Step especially. I am on the Delta Airlines 1629 flight as I write this, and I shovel my neighbour and KAYAKING. Superstition has no place in the air.

I knew that I had booked my ticket in Minneapolis Friday 13 until a few days later, when I checked the date of the Conference, I was to Saturday 14, much less worrisome.

Being does not one for superstition, I forgot about it until I was waiting in the lounge of futuristic Delta "third world airport" (thank you Donald) La Guardia Airport. On research, it was clear to see that the major part of American public flight simply gives a damn on Friday 13.

Flights have been fully reserved, lists of relief have been fulfilled and departures were delayed due to congestion. Now I'm in the air Friday the 13th.

I would be worried?

Flyers Talk Superstition

I asked my seatmates their thoughts on Friday 13 of flight. One, an attorney living in New York City and flying home to Idaho for delivery of diploma, told me: "I realized that it is Friday the 13th when I the reserved, but I am not that superstitious, and there is also nothing that I could do about it.".

What is the Attorney General of New York's superstitious? "No, not at all." I understand the mythology of Friday the 13th, but it doesn't bother me. ?

As I write, this is where we are. Gogoinflight

My neighbour, monopolizing the window seat, is Minneapolis and a student at Columbia University in New York. I asked him if he is superstitious and he told me: "" Yes and no. I hope that my gut feel, but when it comes to fly Friday the 13th I have to go where I go so I'm not going to think twice. ""

He continued: "in high school when I played sports I chose the number 13 and I knew that it was an unlucky number, then I wanted to that challenge.

Data hates Superstition

Data provided to AOL travel kayak appears to be in agreement with the flyers in the air right now and my friend Attorney at my side.

According to KAYAK, they looked at the average price of flight for the month of May and compared Friday 13 of air fares against all the other Friday in May. Tickets of today came about six per cent higher than the average.

Here is a breakdown of the price of tickets for the above days

5/6: $498.96
5/13: $513.30
5/20: $485.07
5/27 (Memorial Day): $ 471.91

Robert Birge, marketing director of KAYAK tells AOL travel: "while the plane ticket can jump at any time, the surge in prices Friday 13, we have seen KAYAKING shows that the airlines are not as superstitious passengers could be." We have seen that people are still today flight and ready to pay the price, even if they are not walking on cracks and walk under ladders. ?

But it seems that the Brits do not have the same attitude Don "t give a damn" as the Americans when it comes to Friday the 13th. KAYAK found that the United Kingdom, the average ticket for today is 20.4% cheaper than in the rest of the month.

Although we wonder if perhaps his marriage Royal post just setting in fatigue.

Personally, I am less concerned on Friday 13 and worried of choking on a Delta peanut fine I was graciously offered free of charge.

See you in Minneapolis.
