Just rode regional Air China flight, they were kind enough to announce at the start of the flight “Please notice, we consider airplanes to be a public space, and for security purposes we may record audio and video during the flight.”
Interestingly enough, that same announcement wasn’t made on the China -> USA leg of the flight. I don’t know about airplanes being a public space, but it’s definitely private property and companies can and do record on their property for all manner of reasons, marketing will be the primary driver I awesome.
What would audio analysis tell an airline about additional products / services they could be selling customers that are currently untapped?
I for one tend to complain about my seat, mainly mumbling to myself, but if I had a offer to move to any open seat for a $20 fee. I’d take it in heart beat.

- jedberg 8y agoThey generally frown upon you upgrading to a better class. Also, if I had a window and an empty row, I'd be pretty upset if you grabbed the aisle. I couldn't do much about it, but I'd still be pretty upset that you ruined my good thing.
- EliRivers 8y agoNo worries; you can bid to keep that seat free. If you bid more than him, it stays empty.
- raverbashing 8y agoAs long as it's in the same class as you bought and not a "premium seat" But yes, it's usually not a problem
- chii 8y agoit's a problem if it affects another passenger (such as moving to an aisle seat that blocked the "free" access to the aisle from a window seat). Otherwise, of course there's no issue.
