Can you turn the screens off? I haven't flown in 5 years, but I just watched stuff off of my tablet instead.
You can, but I've stopped ever using them because the screen completely stops for every. Single. Announcement.
And now you can have your phone out for take off and landings, so yea no thanks I'll stick with my device that keeps working when they're making some random announcement about drinks or some shit
It is a matter of time before they figure out how to do targeted ads in dreams.
I'm sure they'll have an option where you can pay for them to go away ....
Airlines in America really suck, I feel like we have much better options here in Europe
I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.
Never. The whole ad craze is there to milk profits on top of the things you already paid for.
What you are suggesting would actually be a more fair system.
Free with ads or paid with no ads.
Asshole corporations want paid and ads.
The Ad Algorithm
It knows when you are sleeping It knows when you're awake It knows when you've been bad or good So consume for goodness sake
Fuck this.
Cunts
Most people will be too busy with their laptops, tablets, and phones to pay any attention to whatever ads they put on those screens.
