I mean they paid for the flight

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago (3 children)

And they’re getting a flight.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Flights have amenities. Some give you free food, some free wifi.

None of it is actually free of course. It's just that the cost is included in the ticket price.

I don't want food or WiFi. I want legroom so I can sleep. I don't want seatback entertainment. I don't want a complimentary tea towel, blanket, and neck pillow. I don't want your stupid cheapo earbuds. I don't want Tim Tams and that little sachet of Vegemite with my toast. I don't want your gross instant coffee. I don't even want a flat white. I don't care that you have soymilk. And thay muffin you gave me has egg in it. I told you I can't have egg. I don't want your little tiny tube of toothpaste with that miniature toothbrush. I don't want to watch Adam Sandler's Wedding Singer on that screen you have on the wall in front of the aisle. I want legroom. I want to watch the insides of my eyelids. I hate having to lay my legs sideways for hours and being unable to relax or sleep because I am knees-pressed against the seat in front of me. And that camera on the seat back freaks me out. Why why why. Just let me sleep.

Sorry. I got a bit agitated there.

Camera on the back of the seat? I haven't seen that one yet, will have to bring tape on my next flight

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

2019:

no plans

Advertisers could be charged more depending on whether their ads are played while the flyer appears awake or not. Yayyy

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Watch out for United. That was the seatback camera airline. Qantas was the better of the ones I have been on. At least I could put the iPad with a camera in the seat pocket on Qantas.

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Legroom is probably the most expensive thing to give on a plane, so if you want legroom, pay for the privilege and fly business class. Otherwise, at least try to enjoy the few concessions you get from the airline

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh I'll enjoy the little mini spy camera on the back of the seat alright.

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean if the price of wifi is offset by showing a single ad, it seems preeeetty stingy after you already paid for a seat.

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Other airlines make you pay $6-$10 for the wifi. Wouldn't you rather watch one ad and get it for free?

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

You're talking about what is, and I'm talking about what could be.

[–] coffeejoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. No I wouldn’t. I never want to be forced to watch an ad.

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 3 months ago

You're not forced to though... You could just not use the wifi.

Not all flights include Wi-Fi, even if the plane is equipped with it
