chris there is internet on a airline i know its name is lufthansa but it is on some of there planes and near the seat there is a charger but it is a 12 volt plug
Chris, the airlines are losing money. It is not that easy to put internet and plugs all over the plane. For every penny gas goes up airlines such as American Airlines loses millions of dollars.
One of the large school districts in Maryland looses $33,000 a year for every penny gas goes up. So two or three pennies could hire a teacher. The future of air travel is a graveyard of rusted out planes. There won't be air travel in a few decades. Maybe less. At the very least Joe Average ain't flying in a few years. I'm not even sure Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates are flying in a few years. Enjoy peak oil. Popcorns on me.
Airbus the future way to fly!@!!!! just kidding.. Boeing 7E7 a380 ... and probaly other new types.. it will be the future of air travel .... for now :)
i just came back from a trip to asia from canada. the 13hour flight was horrible. i wished that planes that traveled long distances could have slightly wider seats. sitting beside 2 sweaty people isn't really all that great...
"I have flown every airline out there!" ..yeah..you mean about the handful of airlines out here in the states? You surely havent flown the leading airlines of Europe and Asia from the way you talk about "future airlines"
I once flew on Swiss Air and they hat monitors like the one you mention on your Jet Blue flight. However, these monitors in addition to tracking you flight, allowed you to change screens to watch movies, play some basic video games, or listen to music. Also, they had different movies, video games, and music to select from. Every seat had a little controller for you to make your selections. Would be something nice for planes to add on those long flights.
They have internet,they have usb ports, and plug ports, they have games, the phone is the controller. even massages are available in first class. but the one thing that you have to take in account is that american flights are about 3 hrs LONG. (american flight industries have no need to purchase super expensive airplanes cost cost cost)
korean flights. most particuarily korean air has all of them everyone has their own screen, their own game, usb ports. (economy class tickets are 2000$
I entirely agree with this. The longest flight I've ever taken was from NYC to Seoul, South Korea.. Which, I must say, was the longest 13 or so hours of my life. Some other sorts of options for entertainment on an airplane would be wonderful. Like, what if they offered rentable games from those little TVs the stick with every seat? Like they did with the N64 in hotel rooms. Controllers are pretty much wireless now, I don't see how it would be too big of an hassle.
I don't thing fuel cells will be powerful enough for aeroplanes for a long time. But I hope it soon develops and catches on for cars in the next few decades.
i have flown probably more then most people will ever fly in their lives and i am only fourteen, but having a LAN party on an airplane would be probably the greatest thing ever, just imagine you pay some extra money to get a special seat, then you could compete in LAN games against people on the plane, or maybe even over xbox live or psn that would be awsome.
that would be cool to have a lan party kind of thing, especially since it wouldnt have to be wireless and they wouldnt complain about that kind of stuff
I've only flown 3 times (from MI to NC). My friend Tristan got his pilot license a couple years ago. But anyways...I'm sure anyone who flies continuously would want a luggage tracker! I know I would.
Great ideas. You should pursue them! You'd be a billionaire!
LAN PARTY!! Awesome idea. I'll do all my long hauls on that airline. And while we're dreaming, wouldn't it be nice if the party can start on the ground at the lounge, let's you hit a pause button and continue where you left off on the plane come boarding time.
Why do you say 'Fur" instead of 'For" there are so many people saying that now, I thought it was just all the hicks in my town. It can get really annoying when people say "fur" are you that lazy you cant move your lips a little more.
Try being the guy that throws the bags on to the planes. 8 hour days plus mandatory over time. The ramp is so understaffed that people working for 2 weeks become teachers to the new employees. About 4 people to tend to 4 plane slots. All for 8 dollars an hour with no raise for at least 1 year. The tugs need windshields and new brakes. I watched some one crash into a plane because the brakes were gone. This is at MKE the home of Midwest. Best Care in the air.
Hey... try flying on airlines that are not owned by a US company and you will get great service. Singapore Air is Amazing as is Air India. Great food, 200 movies on demand.
They offer a few of the things you mentioned in First Class. The last time I flew first class(and only) there was a charging sockets for laptops etc, mass agers built-in to the chairs. The airplane lan party does sound like a hell of a lot of fun.
Many Italian Futurists supported the rise of Fascism in Italy in the hope of modernizing the society and the economy of a country that was still torn between unfulfilled industrial revolution in the North and the rural, archaic South. Marinetti founded the (Futurist Political Party) in early 1918, which only a year later was absorbed into Benito Mussolini's Fasci di combattimento, making Marinetti one of the first supporters and members of the National Fascist Party.
yeah tracking your stuff. more room for your seats. oh more conferitible seats. a actual good meal on all flights. other then that im fine with my mp4/mp3 player. good idea about the gamming. peace. gregg
Like I said about Theaters. Whats old is new. It is going back to being something only the rich do. Please wake up to whats going on. Welcome back to the old oops.. I mean new American Status System. Do you personally pay for each fight you take Chris? If so how rich are you? Sorry, I just can't relate to spending so much money flying around like you do. I am vary jealous. I last flow out of Vegas two years ago and it was so bad I hope to never fly again.
You can make oilo out of hemp...the first car was made out of hemp materials and hemp oil (I think its called estrogen or soemthing) anyways Hemp wont run out
I hope some leading airlines could get a hold of all these great ideas. They are interested in competition and it isnt always the cheapest airfilght which will entice the customer.
I remember when there were no colour phones, it was moslty calculator like LCD screens, now we have phones with camera's and internet and high quality screens, i would of never imagined that, so its hard to think of the future.
I believe Song had a game setup 2 years ago when I was flying home on a Delta flight operated by Song. I didn't play any games but I viewed some TV shows - History Channel on snack foods and Made in America on the Travel Channel. I loved it.
Future of Air Travel? Hum... I think they will come up with some anti-gravity engine that can travel like 5 thousands miles per minute... So a travel from New York to Tokyo would take 2 minutes or less... Not very far from it.
my first flight was when i was 3 weeks old ....... me:3 weeks his brother: 30 years.... lol
