How to make a dog bed and choose the right place for it? Reservation of seats on the plane through a mobile application.

Victoria Solup 10.08.2015 1875

Any dog, even a decorative breed, should have its own place in the house where it will rest. To make your pet feel comfortable, make him a soft bed and place him in comfortable spot.

I have a fairly large Labrador Retriever dog, and not a single pet store could find a bed that would fit my pet. Therefore, I purchased a children's ottoman for my pet. The dog was incredibly happy about this and now does not get off his sofa.

But it is not necessary to pamper your pet the way I do. For example, a small and medium-sized dog will need a small soft bed, which can be easily made with your own hands.

I offer 2 options for how to make a sleeping place for a dog.

1. Sunbed from a suitcase

You will need:

• old suitcase;
• short legs from furniture;
• pillow;
• 2 boards;
• screwdriver;
• screws and nuts;
• screwdriver;
• pencil;
• tape measure.

Using a screwdriver, unscrew all the screws in the suitcase that connect both parts of it, and set aside the upper part (lid). You won't need it.

Measure the length of the inside of the suitcase and mark it on two narrow wooden boards. Mount nuts around the edges. Turn the suitcase over and make 4 holes in each corner at the same level as the nuts in the boards. In addition, please note that the diameter of the holes must match the diameter of the screws.

Screw the screws into the legs of the furniture with one side, and into the suitcase and board with the other.

This is what it should look like from the inside.

Now put your pillow in there. It should fit freely in a suitcase.

The bed is ready!

2. Bed from an old sweater for a small dog

You will need:

• old sweater;
• a small pillow (it should fit in a sweater);
• long scarf or towels;
• scissors;
• thread with a needle.

Any sweater will do, with or without buttons. The main thing is that it should be slightly larger than the size of the dog. If you are using clothes with buttons, the first step is to remove them and sew (by machine or by hand) in the place where it was unbuttoned.

Put a pillow in your sweater and a scarf or soft towels in your sleeves. Then sew up the bottom of the sweater, and sew the sleeves together along the holes. If the sleeves are not long enough, you can sew a piece of any fabric in between them to match the sweater.

Form the bed so that the sleeves become the sides that frame the pillow, and sew up the top of the sweater (at the neckline).

The sleeves can be sewn to the base so that the design does not fall apart.

Where to organize a sleeping place for a dog?

After you have made the bed, you need to place it in a place in the house so that the dog can rest comfortably. That is, there should be no drafts, noise and other irritants. At the same time, it should be convenient for the dog to observe all family members. Therefore, you should not place a sunbed in the farthest corner of the house.

Many people think that a sleeping place for a dog should be placed in the hallway. This is not always the right decision. If there are many tenants in the apartment, they will interfere with the dog's rest, because each family member, running from room to room or to the kitchen, will disturb the dog several times a day. Therefore, it is better to organize a place for her away from human paths.

Any entrepreneur who opens his own business, sooner or later, faces the problem of choosing a place to locate an outlet.

How to find the "gold mine"?

There are no trifles in this matter. If you want good sales, be responsible for choosing a place. Finding an acceptable option is quite realistic, you just need to adhere to the correct algorithm for searching and selecting points of sale.

1. Choosing a shopping center

Before studying places in a shopping center, you need to choose the shopping center itself. Many young businessmen really do not attach any importance to this, but in vain.

After all, you can get a very cool place in the "dead" shopping center, where you will simply lose money. Do not rush to agree to the first offer of the mall.
Compare several complexes. To do this, collect all the information about them: a floor plan indicating the free space, the level of traffic, the cost per square meter, and everything else they are ready to tell. Only by comparing several accommodation options will you be able to make a wise choice, not a choice based on emotions.

2. Patency

So that your "island" does not become uninhabited, pay attention, first of all, to traffic.

Traffic is the number of people who will pass by your outlet. Become a traffic trap.

“It’s better to spend a week on analysis than to get a job on the first day and burn out after a month.”

At the same time, you should not chase only the traffic of the outlet, perhaps 95% purposefully go to the hypermarket on the ground floor, and people simply do not pay attention to anything other than the purpose of their visit.

It is also possible that you simply will not be able to process the client flow and will face negative feedback from customers, which will certainly affect your work.

Be careful and try to track how people behave.

3. Location

As much as we would like to stand right in front of the entrance, unfortunately (or fortunately), this is not always possible, because the shopping center has its own vision of the location of retail space. But don't be afraid. Get a plan for the placement of outlets from the shopping center with an indication of free space, in other words, a plan for a possible location. In the document you will find the layout of the premises and the dimensions for the points of sale. With the help of the plan, you will be able to choose the most suitable location for your island.

The number of storeys and the location of the island are also important. The most passable points are on the 1st floor and on the one where there is a cinema or food court. And yes, pay attention to the entrances to shopping center. If they are all on the ground floor, it makes sense to look for accommodation there. According to the principle of number of storeys, all the islands “Wow! Dessert".

The escalator cuts the flow in half. That is, if you are at 5, and people go to eat at 4, then traffic will drop by half. People are lazy enough to make unnecessary gestures, so you should not count on the entire flow from the 1st floor. But not all shopping centers are the same, there are also strange options that need to be tested.

4. Measurement technology

How to determine if the place is suitable? Sit down for a cup of coffee near the point, and watch it for a couple of hours. Distribute this time, by an hour during the day and in the evening. During this time, count the number of people passing by. Ideally, there should be from 500 people per hour. Keep in mind that you need to cut off the non-target audience, at least almost all of them are elderly people. We do not take them into account.

The number of your sales depends on how your island is located, up to 100% profit.

Question "How to book seats in the cabin" many travelers are interested, because this opportunity provides an excellent chance to make their trip more comfortable. This is due to the fact that not all seats on airplanes meet the requirements that this or that air passenger imposes on them. Below are all the options that allow you to book exactly those seats in the cabin that, in your opinion, will provide the maximum level of comfort during the flight.

THE CONTENT OF THE ARTICLE (click on the link for a quick jump)

Detailed information about what kind of seats there are on airplanes, about the advantages and disadvantages of such seats for various categories of passengers can be found on the page. Based on the available information, having determined which option is most preferable to you, you can choose one of three options, each of which with a high degree of probability will allow you to book the seat on the plane that suits you best.

Seat selection during check-in

The classic way of choosing a place, which before the advent of the opportunity was the only possible one. The bottom line is to arrive at the airport at the start of check-in for your flight in order to be one of the first to go to the counter and ask the airline employee (usually girls) for the seat you want to get. Sometimes the flight registrars themselves are interested in your preferences in this regard, but it’s better not to take risks and, without hesitation, immediately tell us about the places where you would like to sit during the flight. In most cases, your wishes will be fulfilled, and you will get the place you asked for without any problems. For example, next to the window in the front of the aircraft or at the aisle in the rear of the cabin.

The easiest way to book seats in the described way, provided that you are flying alone or as a couple. It’s already more difficult for three or four people to choose places nearby, but it’s possible: again, provided that they arrived at registration early, not everyone best places already disassembled. If you are flying in pairs or threes, I advise you to approach the check-in desk all together and present all your passports at once (if you approach in turn, someone else may well take the seats on the plane next to the first passenger by booking it at another check-in desk or online).

As I already wrote, usually, if there are free seats, the airline employees at the check-in counter will meet the passengers and provide them with the desired seats, however, in order to increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I advise you to be polite and smile. In other words, try to win over with personal charm. But it’s better not to give a bribe, because now airlines often control their employees on this account, and no one wants to lose a job because of an extra 500 rubles (that’s how much they used to put in a passport to book the right place).

A few years ago, it was the early check-in for the flight that I used most often and usually got the desired seat. However, due to the development of the system electronic registration and online shopping air tickets, there are ways that give a greater guarantee of getting your preferred seat in the cabin.

Booking a seat on an airplane when buying a ticket

In the case when you purchase a plane ticket on the official website of the airline, even before the moment of payment, you will be offered an aircraft diagram with vacant seats marked on it. Of course, the earlier you buy a ticket before departure, the more convenient seats there will be, therefore, in a situation where there are several weeks left before the flight, there are often no empty seats at the porthole indicated on the websites of airlines (the most interesting thing is that later, when choosing a seat at the check-in counter , they "appear").

So, right on the website of the air carrier, you can choose seats for all segments of your trip at once. For example, when purchasing air tickets departing from Moscow on special offers from airlines from Persian Gulf(Emirates, Etihad or Qatar), with the help of which it is often possible, you have the opportunity to pre-book seats on four aircraft at once. For example, Moscow-Dubai, Dubai-Bangkok, Bangkok-Dubai and Dubai-Moscow. Later, during the check-in process, just tell the airline employee (just in case) that you have already selected seats when buying tickets.

However, in addition to the advantages of this method, there are some disadvantages. For example, some airlines do not allow you to select emergency exit seats with more legroom during the ticket purchase process, preferring to give these seats to tall and well-supervised passengers only at the check-in counter. Therefore, if you want to book these particular seats in the cabin, you still have to apply to the check-in desk.

In addition, some airlines charge an additional fee for the possibility of choosing a seat on the airline's website. For example, british airways estimates such a service from $16 to $32 for choosing a seat in an economy class for flights over medium and long distances, respectively. When choosing a seat in a business class, you will have to pay almost $100 at all (IMHO, an extra waste of money, because all seats in this class have increased comfort and are located only in front of the aircraft).

Increasingly, online tickets at the best prices can be bought not on the official websites of airlines, but with the help of a special service (the search form is located above) that searches 728 airlines at once, including low-cost airlines. As a result, in the process of buying air tickets, you have to deal with intermediaries - special agencies. As a rule, this does not increase the cost of the air ticket (and sometimes makes it cheaper), it just eliminates the possibility of choosing a seat on the plane on your own. The best way out in this situation is to write in the notes about your requirements regarding the choice of seats during the process of applying for a ticket on the agency's website or inform the agent about it by phone.

Reservation of seats on the plane during online check-in

More and more people are not using the classic check-in for a flight, which I wrote about above, but more convenient in some cases online check-in. To do this, you can either use special online check-in counters at the airport where you are flying from (pictured above), or you can make such a check-in with a choice of a seat in the cabin directly on the airline's website. This opportunity usually appears a day before the departure of your aircraft or for a different period of time, depending on the policy of the airline you have chosen. For example, Etihad allows this procedure to be done 24 hours before departure and blocks this possibility two hours before the aircraft takes off according to the approved schedule.

On the one hand, the advantage of the latter method is obvious: there is no need to arrive at the airport several hours before departure and stand in line for check-in there. You can arrive an hour before departure and immediately go through the necessary procedures (passport and customs control). Just don't forget at home or at work boarding passes with selected seats to be printed out upon completion of the online check-in procedure.

However, there are also disadvantages: online check-in with some airlines is not possible for passengers with small children, for passengers with luggage and for passengers carrying animals on the plane. On the other hand, some airlines, on the contrary, provide bonuses for online check-in. For example, Etihad allows you to increase Weight Limit baggage for 7 kg (although not for all airports and Minsk is not included in this list). By the way, in any case, I recommend arriving at the airport early, because if online check-in with luggage is allowed by your airline, this same luggage will still have to be weighed and checked in at a special counter, so it’s better not to be late, because nerve cells are not restored well.

At the end of the article, one more helpful advice: Before online check-in on an aircraft with a choice of seats, familiarize yourself in advance with the layouts of these seats directly in the model and modification of the aircraft that is declared for your flight (usually such information is provided in the printout of your electronic ticket). As a rule, such schemes (on which the rows and seats are numbered, emergency and regular exits, the location of galleys and toilets) are on the websites of all major airlines.

Reservation of seats on the plane through a mobile application

In our time, when information technology is rapidly developing, and most people can no longer imagine their lives without the daily use of smartphones, it would be wrong not to mention another way to check in for a flight and choose a seat in the cabin . We are talking about the use of mobile applications from airlines. Most popular airlines have such branded applications: Aeroflot and S7 in Russia, Ukrainian UIA, Emirates and Etihad in the Middle East, etc. These applications for Android and iOS can be downloaded directly from airline websites, and their use is not limited to check-in for a flight and booking seats in the cabin.

Today, mobile applications from airlines offer almost a full range of basic and related services: search and purchase of air tickets, insurance, online check-in for a flight, provision of information on the status of all flights in real time, delays in departure and arrival, services at the airport, charging bonus miles and how to use them. Therefore, having such an application in your smartphone (especially if you travel more than once a year) can be very useful. Applications do not take up much disk space, which is also convenient, because you probably want to bring as much as possible from your trip. more photos and video.

Aeroflot mobile application - allows you to select seats in the cabin

The only caveat is that, as in cases with the purchase of air tickets on the official websites of airlines, when using a branded application for this, the price is higher than when buying from intermediaries. Therefore, if you want to save money, it is better to use airline branded mobile applications not to buy air tickets, but to search for dates with minimum fares, and only then check these dates in the metasearch. I use Airsales all the time and for all the time I have probably already saved on a free flight to Thailand. By the way, this metasearch also has, by installing which on a smartphone, you will always have access to air tickets at the lowest prices, which include all taxes and fees (at the top of the page, you can select a device (iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Phone smartphones or tablets) using the link ).

Unsuccessful booking of a seat in the cabin

If for some reason you were unable to book a seat on the plane that was comfortable for you (did not have time for online registration, forgot to warn the airline employee at the counter or she did not meet you halfway), then all is not lost. After boarding is completed, when the flight attendant announces it (“Boarding is over”), you can take a more comfortable seat on the plane, if there are any in sight. You can ask the flight attendant about this, or even better, warn the latter that you would like to change your seat immediately upon boarding and politely ask her to find you such a place if possible.

Another possible option is to immediately take a comfortable free seat: it is quite possible that no one will sit on it. In the end, you will always have time to take your "legitimate" place. Thus, there are several ways to book seats in the cabin according to your preference. Use them wisely and all your further flights will be pleasant and comfortable. I wish you pleasant air travel and soft landings!

If you like to travel a lot and often, then you probably spend a lot of time on the road, namely on board an airplane. If the flight does not last long, then you do not pay attention to minor inconveniences, but if you need to fly for 8-10 hours, then comfort is of great importance, and other things being equal, I will always choose more convenient flight conditions.

The comfort of your flight depends on many factors - entertainment on board, but most importantly - on the convenience of the very place where you will spend almost the entire journey. Today I want to talk about the difference between different seats on board an aircraft, how to find out in advance which cabin will be on your flight, and how to choose the seat you like.

To choose the best seat on board an aircraft, you must first find out which aircraft you will be flying on. Moreover, even the same aircraft different airlines may have different seating arrangements, so it is important to find out not just the type of aircraft, but the specific aircraft.

You can do this even before buying a ticket on the airline's website (in the flight schedule) or in the ticket search engine.

For example, when searching for a ticket for a flight, you can immediately see the name of the airline and the flight number in the route description. Let's look at the example of a London-New York flight:

The first segment of the flight will be carried out by the aircraft of the airline Norwegian Air, flight number DY-2802. Using this information, you can learn more about a particular aircraft at www.seatguru.com and www.seatexpert.com.

2. Where to find the interior layout

You can also view the scheme of the salon on specialized sites.

Let's try to find the layout of the aircraft cabin for the same flight London-New York for the first segment of the flight at www.seatguru.com.

First, on the main page, enter the necessary information - the name of the airline and the flight number (we already learned them on the ticket search engine or on the airline's website):

A window opens where you can see what the plane will be like. To see the layout of the salon, click "View map":

The page opens with detailed information about the aircraft, as well as the layout of the seats:

3. Features of different places on board the aircraft

In addition to a detailed study of the schemes, you need to remember some features different places on board and select the best seat based on your needs. Consider the different types of seats on the plane.

3.1. Emergency exit seats

If your height is above average, then these places are created especially for you! In the row opposite the emergency exit more space for legs than in normal places. But there are also limitations - hand luggage will have to be removed to the luggage rack, tk. safety rules do not allow you to put things in the aisle to the emergency exit. So you can’t put anything under your own or under the seat of the passenger in front. Also, passengers with children are not allowed to sit at emergency exits. it is assumed that there should be a person sitting at the emergency exit who will be able to help the flight attendants open the emergency exit and carry out the evacuation of passengers.

Also note that if your seat is in the row in front of emergency row, then you will not be able to recline the back of the chair so as not to block the emergency exit.

3.2. Seats at the beginning of the plane

• Most often, the very first row is booked for frequent flyers and passengers with children. So keep in mind that you may not be able to sleep because of a crying baby. Although you are not insured against this in other places, but here the probability is higher.
• Service starts right from the front rows, so you will have the maximum choice of dishes.
• You will have to walk to the toilet, because. business class toilets are normally not allowed to be used.
• After landing, you will be able to leave the plane in the first rows, right after the first and business class passengers.

3.3. Seats in the middle of the plane

These places do not have pronounced disadvantages or advantages. When choosing a seat in the middle of the plane, pay attention to whether the wing of the plane will block your view if you plan to sit near the window.

3.4. Seats at the tail of the aircraft

According to statistics, the places located in the tail section of the aircraft are considered the safest, because. most of the passengers who survived the crash were in the tail section.

But there are no absolutely safe places, so let's look at other features of these places:

• there are toilets in the tail section, which, on the one hand, is convenient - you don’t have to go far, but on the other hand, people will always walk next to you, so it can be very noisy.
• there are not always windows on the last rows, so if you want to enjoy the views, look in advance at the diagram of the aircraft on which you will fly.
• also on the last row the back may not recline, because. no extra bed provided.
• if you like to photograph the view from the porthole, then please note that there may be poor visibility in the tail section due to the exhaust plume.
• if the plane is not packed to capacity, then most of the empty seats are usually in the tail section, so that you can take several seats at once, comfortably lounging.
• if you are flying with a transfer, then it is better not to sit at the very tail of the plane, because. You can only leave the last one, thereby losing a lot of time.
• food distribution usually starts from the beginning or middle of the plane, so if you did not order special meals, some dishes may not be enough for you (for example, you eat only fish, and only a few portions with meat remain).

3.5. The most uncomfortable places

In addition to relatively convenient places that have both advantages and disadvantages, there are also places that are strictly not recommended to sit on, for example:

• seats in the row located in front of the emergency exit. You won't be able to recline your back.
• seats in the middle row (if the aircraft has three rows of seats, with the layout 3-3-3, 3-4-3, 2-5-2). Especially if you are sitting in the middle of this row - it is difficult to get out to the toilet, you may have to let passengers through yourself, it is also difficult to get something from the luggage rack, it takes the longest time to get out after the plane has stopped.
• places next to the toilet - there may be an unpleasant smell, as well as people scurrying back and forth will not let you rest.

4. How to book a specific seat on board

When you have decided on the place you want to take, you need to book it. You can do this both in advance and immediately before departure. At the same time, you need to understand that the earlier you start booking a place, the more likely it will be to take exactly what you want.

So, there are several options for booking a seat.

4.1. Booking when buying a ticket

If you, then most likely it will be possible to book a place on board immediately upon purchase. Find out about this option right away.

Peculiarities. If you are flying on a low-cost airline, then most likely an additional fee will be charged for booking a specific seat. So I don’t see the point of booking something in advance, only if for some reason you really need a certain place (for example, you are traveling with a child and want to be sure in advance that you will sit next to or take a seat in the first row) . If you do not book a seat in advance, then it is likely that you will be able to use another selection option, more on that below.

4.2. Booking in your account

If you bought your ticket from an intermediary (for example, through or skyscanner), then you can manage your booking on the airline's website. Just go to the airline's website, register (or immediately go to your personal account if you are already registered) and in your personal account go to the "my bookings" or "manage booking" section. There you can already select places (if there is such an option) or, for example, insert a card number to count miles.

4.3. Seat selection during online check-in

Online check-in usually starts 24 hours before the departure of the aircraft, but sometimes it opens earlier, you need to find out on the airline's website. It is best to register immediately, in the first minutes after the start of registration, so there will be more chances that you will have time to book the right place. In order not to miss the time, set yourself a reminder. Again, this option does not apply to low-cost companies, because there is a choice of seats only for an additional fee.

4.4. Seat selection during check-in at the airport

Here, too, it makes sense to arrive at the airport early in order to be among the first to check in. The best seats are already taken, but at least you can choose a seat at the window or in the aisle, in the middle of the plane or at the end. If you resort to the front desk at the last minute, then most likely it will no longer be possible to choose a seat. This applies to flights popular destinations at the height of the season. If you are flying in the low season and the plane is half empty, then closer to the end of check-in, you can, for example, ask for a seat in a free row where there will be no one next to you.

4.5. Seat selection after boarding is completed

As soon as the landing is announced, you can safely choose a more convenient place for yourself. This applies, first of all, to low-cost airlines, because this is the only free seat selection option.

Also, a feature of low-cost airlines is that they sell a little more tickets than seats on an airplane, because. according to statistics, about 10% of passengers do not come to the flight. Therefore, the passengers who arrived the latest can often be put in the best seats, sometimes even put in a business class (if, of course, it is provided in this low-cost).
