This is increasingly common in domestic US full-price airlines. It makes sense, in a way - most folks have their own devices, and the airlines save money and weight and don't have to worry about future tech obsolescence - but still makes me a bit sad.
- jen20 9mo agoThe thing I really wish domestic airlines would take away is reclining seats in economy. Nothing good comes from having them.
- 15155 9mo agoMost budget carriers are going this way.
- jen20 9mo agoIndeed - I don't generally fly on US low cost carriers, but regularly used to fly on EasyJet in Europe, and the non-reclining seats were just more pleasant for everyone.
- silisili 9mo agoSame. I most recently flew Frontier and despite looking really spartan, it was actually super comfortable. And no reclining to fret over the whole flight.

- kazinator 9mo agoRight? That's why I don't want a car with any system for entertainment, beyond generics like speakers. The car is ideally going to last 25+ years, by which time that shit will be obsolete. The software won't be upgradable, etc.
