VIRGIN ATLANTIC is always innovative. First there were individual
movies, then masseurs and now meditation, but Richard Branson's
airline is still at it regarding ideas. It now plans to introduce the
world's first in-flight texting service, which will allow passengers
to have questions answered on any topic at 35,000 feet. They will be
able to text questions from their seat-back television screens to an
existing land-based text answer service which promises to answer any
question within minutes. On the way to New York you can ask for a
recommended bar or the best way to your final destination. Maybe the
latest cricket or football score. However, texting mates over the
North Atlantic is still not with us although Air France is running a
trial of technology that will enable passengers to use their mobile
phones whilst flying in early 2007. Each question costs one pound to
63336.
