TED, United Airlines' discount subsidiary has taken off despite the usual cynicism from the press and sarcasm from other carriers. The first flight, last Thursday (12 February) was from Las Vegas to Denver, its initial hub and the home of rival discount Frontier Airlines. Ted comes with completely free overhead video ” Tedevision ” and free music on Tedtunes. United says that Ted differs from other budget carriers because it is linked to United's frequent-flier programme. It also has a two class service including a 66-seat front section with four extra inches of legroom. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was amongst the airports that welcomed TED on 12 February.
