In Flight Entertainment...

Know what I love about Emirates Airline? Just about everything. They are fast becoming my favourite way to fly (besides hallucinegens). I especially love those little consoles they've got on the seat back in front of you. You can watch the progress of the flight (if you have a very long attention span), as well as views from cameras on the front and bottom of the plane. These tend to be a little boring after take off, but you know if we started to crash, I'd be watchin those cameras like a red-necked house-wife watches the Michael Jackson reenactments. They've also got 15 movie channels, a bunch of music channels, and about 20 video games that you play with this Nintendo style game pad built into the phone. Nifty.

About the only problem with these things, that I can see, is if a kid or an old person is sitting behind you. Chances are, they'll be hamemring away at the back of your seat like a woodpecker on exstasy. Kids are just manic when it comes to touch screens anyway, but have you ever watched an old person try to run an ATM. Not pretty. Sometimes I feel like saying, "What are you looking for? PBS?"
