| Description: | Select Guide Rating Taking a critical approach to the air passenger experience, this book considers the representations, embodied practices and materialities of air travel. It brings the journey to the fore as a complex and meaningful experience, filling a gap in the social science research of tourist behaviour, traditionally focused on the destination experience. Taking a critical approach to the air passenger experience, this book considers the representations, embodied practices and materialities of air travel. Concerned with the politics and social justice issues of travel and mobility, it examines the passenger and their experience of the airport, fellow passengers, flying during the COVID-19 pandemic, and response to the issue of air travel sustainability. It explores the diverse experiences of those with a disability or fear of flying. The volume brings the journey to the fore as a complex and meaningful experience, filling a gap in the social science research of tourist behaviour where, traditionally, the focus has been the destination experience. The book will be of interest to scholars from a range of social science disciplines and fields of study including tourism studies, mobility studies, cultural studies, and disability studies. |
