I must admit that I’m not particularly bothered by this, it’s not as if people currently sit in absolute silence on planes at the moment.
Whilst that is true to a certain extent Ren Frew, surely the noise of calls, text messages/e-mails would surely get annoying…?
I think the costing of these calls will make it a case of “only when required” rarther than a scenario of people idly chatting away to pass the time…
Precisely…its the ‘when required’ that gets to me. What exactly do you need to tell someone in the air that you cant tell them just before you board the aircraft?:confused:
“Hello darling, I’m at 37,000ft above the Earth, flying at XYZmph, just crossing over the Bay of Biscay…what’s for dinner?”
I am amazed that we are we so relient on mobile phones these days that it has had to come to this?!
Also, it will be interesting to see exactly how much of the fees for using the service actually goes Ryanair’s way…I see this as nothing more than yet another way to fleece pax with exhorbitant charges for a service that people can live without for the relatively short duration of a flight!
Does anyone know if there are plans to roll this technology out on all aircraft, inc. long-haul flights?
