What Airlines May Do

Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine has a good post on what airlines may do now:

How are bored and anxious travelers going to manage 8-10-hour flights across the Atlantic with nothing to do — no computers, no iPods, no books, no nothing?


  • I predict the airlines will have to start renting laptops if this keeps up.
  • Why not lending libraries on the planes?
  • Lots more magazines and newspapers. In-flight magazines just won’t cut it. When you start browsing that stupid catalogue before you’re off the ground, you know you’re in for hours of torture.
  • Toys. Those bored kids are going to need toys.
  • Gin and lots of it.


Read the rest here.

(This is the first I've heard about the "no books" rule.)
