Is the sky falling on in-flight movies?

Some in-flight entertainment is just too heavy — literally. Read the full post.

    Hmmm…if everyone brings their own DVD units with them will that negate all of the weight savings by removing the main system? ;)

    I, for one, usually enjoy the in-flight movie so I would like to see them stay; another option with a newer movie is always welcome.

    My preferred entertainment is to put on headphones and listen to some music and try to have a nap.

    Who knew you could save so much fuel. Next they will only take passengers under a certain weight!! And from there, who knows, maybe do away with pesky passengers at all.
    On international long-haul flights I take full advantage of the personal in-seat entertainment service offered – the airlines I useall have these for those of us in the back of the plane not just business and first. There is usually a ton of up to date choices and as I never can sleep on planes I’ll plow through about four films on a 12 hour flight across the Pacific or two films or a combo of TV shows on a four/five hour ride. I do take my Ipod though, as I usually don’t like the music selections.
    On a 45 min or ohe hour hop – my Ipod and a book or magazine do it for me.

    Oops, sorry for the double post. Typepad is playing up.

    Generally, I just medicate myself until I am asleep, because I absolutely hate flying.

    I was on an Air Tran flight last year, and they actually had Sirius Satellite Radio in every seat, so I just listened to that. There was no in-flight movie, but that could have been because the flight was so short (it was from Ohio to Orlando, about 2 hours).

    My iPod is my saving grace. I can listen to music, watch a movie or TV episode, even play a game.

    I usually just bring books and my iPod—I gave up on my laptop and my knitting when it became too much of a hassle at airport security.
