The future of in-flight entertainment!

Well... At least now house prices at Heathrow will go up.

I fly all the time and I'll miss my mp3 player and DS

I won't miss those really annoying gits who play their mp3 players really loudly and when sitting next to them I have a similar-to-tinnitus experience of listening to hiss-crackle-duff-duff-duff-hisssssssssssss.

But I won't miss those gits that use all the overhead lockers by filling them out with suitcases because they are too lazy to wait 15 minutes like everyone else.

I will miss being able to do this. You'd appreciate the joys of carry on only if you'd had a £200 brand new carpet knicked off a luggage carousel en route home from holiday.

I travel light. A small convertible wheely suitcase/rucksack in the overhead locker and a big handbag/flight bag under the seat.

Much better and safer than worrying if someone's knicked your luggage or some dozy baggage handler has sent it to Timbuktu.

What's going to happy to duty free?

Still for sale apparently. Once you go through security, the airside shops are still open as all goods for sale and the staff who work in the shops have been checked and se curity cleared.

So you can take on 200 fags but no book.

Can I have a roll eyes smilie as big as that angry smilie please.

[Pingu]

you can take a book on provided it was bought "air side"... unless travelling to the USA

Yipee

Looks like you can now take a small bag on planes with laptops etc from tomorrow.

Prefect result (for me at least) no more big cases hogging all the overhead compartments.

Phew!
