Accessible Travel Top 3 Week 13/07
Top 3 Accessible Travel Articles for Mar. 26 - April 1, 2007
During week 13 of 2007, Accessible Travel readers looked for airport security information for first-time flyers, food allergy information from Burger King, and trivia.
The Top 3 items in Accessible Travel this week were:
#1 (#1 last week). Flying Basics - Airport Security Whether you are a first-time flyer or not, going through airport security is the same experience for everyone. This is one of several articles in the Flying Basics series. Read one and you may be hooked.
The Flying Basics series is meant to help anyone who is new to flying or perhaps has a fear of flying. The series keeps on growing. Right now it includes:
- Flying Basics - An Overview
- Flying Basics - Airport Security
- Flying Basics - Booking
- Flying Basics - Seat selection
- Flying Basics - Packing
- Flying Basics - Packing for Events
- Flying Basics - Weather Info
- Flying Basics - Weather Matters
The Flying Basics series is meant to explain the experience of travelling by air, in keeping with our motto: Knowledge is Power.
#2. (#3 last week) Burger King Allergen Information The articles about food allergies and popular restaurants were all popular this week. These include Chili's Restaurant Allergen Menus, and pieces on Burger King, Wendy's and McDonalds. More to come.
If you are researching food allergies on your own, the piece called Website Searches for Allergy Info has tips on searching the internet to find out about allergies to fast food and fast food ingredients. Sometimes it's the little things like the cooking oils and seasonings that are the problem. If you are not sure about the information, always check at the restaurant. Website information can be inaccurate. Ingredients sometimes change on short notice. The ingredients used in one location may not be identical in another state, province or country.
The ingredient lists are only guidelines. If you have a food allergy or a significant sensitivity, always check with the manager on duty at the restaurant before you order. The information on websites can help you rule out certain foods, but it does not guarantee your absolute safety. Ingredients can change suddenly because of all kinds of reasons, and so can the cooking oils, seasonings, toppings and so on.
#3. TRIVIA. The trivia quiz was originally posted here as a Christmas and New Year holiday treat for Accessible Travel readers. It's always popular. Since Christmas and New Year are far behind us, this quiz will no longer be included in the Accessible Travel statistics. For trivia lovers, please note that there is a Suite101 trivia section where there are lots of quizzes and games to tease and tempt you. You may even find a trivia quiz about the Queen (and other queenly things).
