An Analysis of Long-Haul Flight Experiences: A Qualitative Study on Constraints and Expectations for Local Travel During Long-Distance Journeys

This study aims to investigate the emotional constraints experienced by travelers during long-haul flights particularly arising from the unique environmental conditions within the confined space of an aircraft. Firstly, it is crucial to examine the cognitive and psychological stress and fatigue that can be linked to emotional factors among various constraints encountered during long-haul flights. Secondly, the study seeks to explore the psychological and social mechanisms based on attitudes and behaviors that individuals employ to overcome various constraints during travel. Thirdly, to gain a profound understanding of the difficulties faced during the return to routine after completing the journey, this study evaluates the impact on consumers' behavioral intentions and expectations for future travel plans. As a result, the impact of the difficulties of long-haul flight travel experienced in returning to daily life after completing the journey on the behavioral intentions and expectations of consumers' future travel plans is explored in-depth.
