Can you turn the screens off? I haven't flown in 5 years, but I just watched stuff off of my tablet instead.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

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 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.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

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.

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

Most people will be too busy with their laptops, tablets, and phones to pay any attention to whatever ads they put on those screens.
