Chances of someone not having a screen with them on a plane these days are slim. I'd rather they used whatever budget they have for this into better in-flight internet speeds with lower prices. Then there's almost zero need for screens behind seats as everyone can just use whatever they prefer to consume whatever media they normally would.
- AmericanChopper 4y agoI mostly agree, but I still use the in-seat screen for the flight map.
- iso1631 4y agoYou could have that available on the inflight wifi would work fine, local image/tile server to a certain level globally, cache the area under the projected flightpath before departure, then update the cache as time goes on. Some planes have external cameras too which can be interesting - you could have those on the inflight wifi too.
- AmericanChopper 4y agoI’m sure that’s exactly the sort of complicated technology product that airlines would excel at delivering.
- vasco 4y agoFor the first part you can also just go on flightradar on your phone on the flight wifi.
