Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Jetway shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Jetway offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Jetway at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Jetway? Wrong! If the Jetway is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Jetway then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Jetway? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Jetway and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Jetway wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Jetway then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Jetway site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Jetway, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Jetway, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The word “jetway” is sometimes used for a high-altitude airway (aviation). {{BridgeTypePix|image=JetwayDenver.jpg|image_title = Jetways at Denver International Airports|span_range = 40'-140'|material = [Steel of [FMC Technologies for their line of enclosed, moveable jet bridge connectors (also termed loading bridges, aerobridges/airbridges, or passenger boarding bridges) which extend from an airport airport terminal Gate (airport) to an Aircraft, thereby enabling passengers to board and disembark without having to go outside.

In many places, the trademarked word "Jetway" is commonly used to mean any bridge used to board an aircraft, regardless of manufacturer (See genericized trademark).

Prior to the introduction of loading bridges, passengers would normally board an aircraft by walking along the ground-level tarmac and climbing a set of movable airstairs. This method of boarding is still employed at many airports around the world, but now it is mostly seen at small regional airports that only service small carriers. The first Jetway in the United States was installed at San Francisco International Airport in July 1959.

Advantages Loading bridges provide all weather dry access to aircraft and enhance the security of terminal operations. They are often permanently attached at one end by a pivot (or rotunda) to the terminal building and have the ability to swing left or right. The cab, located at the end of the loading bridge, may be raised or lowered, extended or retracted, and may pivot, in order to accommodate aircraft of different sizes. These motions are controlled by an operator's station in the cab. The cab is provided with an accordion-like canopy, which allows the bridge to dock with aircraft with differing contours, and provide a nearly weather-proof seal.

Some airports with international gates, such as Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, and Incheon International Airport have two bridges for larger aircraft with multiple entrances. In theory, this allows for faster boarding and disembarking of larger aircraft, though it's quite common to use one bridge for only passengers in First class travel and business class, while the other bridge is only for the use of passengers in economy class. With the arrival of the full double-deck airliners such as the Airbus A380, it is expected that each deck will have one or more loading bridges. Such connectors are being constructed at Singapore Changi Airport in anticipation of the A380.

Though loading bridges are usually permanently attached at their terminal-building end, leaving only the cab free to move, this is not always the case. Those at Melbourne Airport's international terminal are anchored in the middle and movable at either end – the terminal building-end can be raised or lowered to connect with either the departures level or the arrivals level of the terminal building.

Disadvantages Loading bridges restrict aircraft parking to spots immediately adjacent to the terminal. Thus, some airports such as Bristol International Airport still use airstairs to facilitate boarding at hardstands (remote parking positions).

Use and appearance At the airport terminal, the bridge is connected to a portal (called a "gate (airport)") in the terminal wall behind the gate desk. Once airplane boarding starts, passengers hand in their boarding passes to the gate's attendant, who lets them pass through.

Inside, the bridge looks much like a narrow but lighted hallway in an office building, without doors. Some loading bridges are constructed without windows, while brands such as ThyssenKrupp produces some models with glass walls. The walls are normally painted in accordance with airline standards, generally with relaxing colors. Combined with the carpeted flooring, these colors help to create a soothing, calm environment to relax and decrease the tension that any passengers might feel about their upcoming flight. Some bridges have advertisements on interior or exterior walls.

By using a retractable tunnel design, loading bridges may retract and extend varying lengths. The largest 3-tunnel model of Jetway's loading bridges, for example, may retract to 60 feet and extend to 126 feet (rotunda to cab). Some airports use fixed walkways to effectively extend the reach of a loading bridge. The fixed walkway extends out from the terminal building and connects to the loading bridge rotunda. Occasionally, fixed bridges lead to multiple loading bridges.

The cab of the loading bridge is hydraulically raised and lowered in order to dock with aircraft of differing sill heights. The height of the cab is matched to the height of the aircraft door sill height. This often results in a slope along the length of the loading bridge. For this reason, handrails are frequently provided along the interior of the bridge. In the United States, loading bridge slopes are restricted to a maximum slope of 1:12, in order to comply with Americans with disabilities act requirements.
