United Airlines’ personal device entertainment options being available on all Wi-Fi equipped aircraft for long-haul flights, travelers don’t need to load their devices with lots of entertainment media content, visual or audio. They just need to carry a laptop or Android or Apple IOS device to access United Airlines’ free inflight entertainment library during their flights from US to India.

Onboard complimentary cardboard phone stands will make United Airlines’ personal device entertainment a hassle-free experience. The cardboard phone stands that uphold devices for travelers to enjoy hands-free viewing will be available in all travel cabins by late May or early in June. Most of the planes in United Airlines’ fleet will have more in-seat power outlets this summer travel season so that travelers’ personal devices remain charged throughout the flight.

United Airlines’ Entertainment Options for the Differently-abled

British Airways flights are more relaxing than before! Neither the seat width nor legroom is increased. Neither upholstery is changed nor seat pitch is raised. British Airways has taken a step forward to make its flights immensely comfortable by introducing in-flight meditation classes on long-haul routes.

The airline has added the Headspace video channel to its inflight entertainment system. The new channel is full of audio-visual content related to meditation techniques and mindfulness exercises, which travelers can watch and practice in the air. Meditation is one of the best ways to avoid jetlag and release stress during long-haul flights.

British Airways inflight entertainment system’s new channel airs nine guided meditation programs. Each program is meant for a particular group of travelers having specific needs. Neither of the programs runs more than 10 minutes. The content of the programs is deliberately designed to make passengers feel relaxed during and after the flight.

Andy Puddicombe, the Headspace video channel co-founder and former monk, plays a guide himself in the meditation programs for British Airways flights on long-haul routes. Each program addresses a different need. If one program helps stressed elderly passengers to unwind themselves, the other program helps agitated travelers feel clam. The new initiative makes travelers enjoy the journey to their destinations, irrespective of their individual problems and needs.

“Our partnership with Headspace is one of the newest initiatives to make our customers feel at home on board by making long-haul flights more fulfilling. With the meticulously guided programs of the Headspace video channel, customers can do meditation and mindfulness yoga to de-stress themselves while sitting on board, at 35,000 feet,” says Troy Warfield, British Airways’ Director of customer experience.

The existing audio-visual content of British Airways’ High Life Inflight entertainment system includes such programs as ‘Flying with Confidence’ and ‘Dawn Chorus: Sounds of Spring’ for the wellbeing of travelers. The new meditation channel adds to the wellbeing content in sync with the airline’s customer service excellence and in response to travelers’ need.

Passengers can choose to watch all Harry Potter films, 10 James Bond films including the latest one Spectre and a complete set of Marvel movies from the updated version on international Qatar Airways flights.

One of the best Middle East airlines, Qatar Airways had updated its inflight entertainment content last in the beginning of 2015. Some of the most popular films from the previous editions like A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Good Lie, Very Bad Day, Horrible, No Good, The Search for Happiness, The Book of Life, and Alexander and the Terrible are still aired on the airline’s Oryx Entertainment Screen.

Passengers can choose to watch the episodes of “New Girl”, one of the popular American television series, which were added to the 2015 version of the inflight entertainment content for Qatar Airways flights. I am Ali and Now: In the Wings of a World Stage, two of the documentaries from the 2015 edition are still available among the programs in the new version. I am Ali is a biopic on Muhammad Ali, a legendary boxer.

We strive to offer something new to make passengers feel relaxed over fresh entertainment content on board. The updated and increased content does not let them get bored whenever they travel on Qatar Airways flights. Be it a business trip or leisure tour, our flights are entertaining and relaxing. – Qatar Airways’ CEO Akbar Al Baker.

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class challenges the norms of the aviation industry and defies the usual conception that economy flights have little to do with comfort and sophistication. To say in Etihad’s words, the Economy Class is “simply smarter.” Let’s justify it.

Economy Class seats on Etihad Airways’ long-haul flights let you sit back and relax on adjustable headrests. The cradle seats are wide and accessorized with comfy pillows. The reclining feature of the seats facilitates the natural posture that your back rests in. Even very small things from blankets to amenity kits are meticulously taken care of to offer high-level inflight comfort that the airline promises.

On longer Economic flights by Etihad Airways, passengers are provided full-sized fleece blankets and unique pillows which can be converted into neck pillows. Passengers are also given blanket bags which can double up in size to let them store their personal belongings. Adding oodles of warm hospitality to the Economy Class experience is provision of amenity kits containing a pair of socks, toothbrush, a pair of earplugs, a cotton drawstring bag, and a reversible “Do not disturb/Wake me for meals” eye mask.

Onboard hospitality is extended to Etihad Airways’ Economy Class food served in a more personal style. Passengers are served hot meals of their choice from three main courses. Onboard café serving light snacks, coffee, tea and hot chocolates is an add-on to long-haul travel experience in the Economy cabin of the airline’s select aircraft. Etihad is one of the few airlines that treat Economy passengers as premium customers by offering complimentary bar service to them on select long-haul routes.

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class food menu is designed by the airline’s award-winning chefs from world-class restaurants. They are extensively trained to blend different flavors to create fulfilling meals in keeping with the airline’s brand hospitality. – Indian Eagle

Etihad Airways’ Economy Class offers signature inflight entertainment that consists of 750 hours of on-demand content on long-haul international flights. The Economy seats are equipped with 10.6-inch touch-screen TV monitors which passengers can tune to their personal entertainment needs. 11-inch touch-screen TV monitors are installed on Economy Smart seats. Etihad’s inflight entertainment programs include over 100 movies, 300 popular TV shows and 60 interactive games.

The inflight entertainment system on Economy flights comprises 7 live news and sports channels, and 16 radio channels. Passengers are provided noise-canceling headsets to enjoy their preferred programs contentedly. On Etihad’s Economy flights, inflight entertainment programs include both timeless classics and latest blockbusters from Hollywood, Bollywood, European, Arabic and Asian cinemas.

Travelers with kids can get access to Etihad’s special Kids Club movies and cool cartoons. Etihad’s inflight entertainment systems integrate a parental lock feature that lets travelers block unsuitable content to their kids. – Indian Eagle

Etihad Airways’ Flying Nanny is one of the best inflight services, which no other airline has yet come up with. Introduced by the end of 2013 and unique to Etihad’s onboard hospitality, Flying Nannies help travelers with children on long-haul flights so that travelers can have some “me time” with books or movies of their choice or the inflight magazine.

One of our customers had a pleasant experience of Etihad’s Flying Nanny service while flying from Chicago to Delhi with the cheapest economy flight ticket from us in June 2015. She traveled with two kids including one 2-year old infant. The Flying Nanny was a great support to her. – Indian Eagle

To conclude, Etihad Airways’ Economy Class is synonymous with comfort that ensues from the airline’s best inflight services on Economy flights, surpassing passengers’ expectations and giving them a memorable travel experience at the lowest airfare from Indian Eagle.

Qantas has spiced up its inflight entertainment for international passengers by having partnered with HBO, one of the most renowned TV services in the world.

Each seat in the First Class and the Business Class has large dining space, which is no less than a 5-star setting. The meals are cooked with fresh ingredients to ensure tantalizing taste at a height of 30,000 feet. The meals are complemented with signature drinks including both hot and cold beverages.
