Travelers in economy class flying Singapore Airlines can hook up their own iPods or iPhones to the inflight entertainment system.
Starting in March, A330-300 aircraft with these new hookups will replace older planes flying medium haul routes to Australian and Japanese cities.
The re-designed Economy seats sport adjustable leather headrests and larger monitors.
In addition to iPod and iPhone connectivity (plus a plug if you to power your device) the multi-port panel has a USB port, enabling passengers to listen to their own music, view photos or read PDFs.
United Airlines was the first US carrier to offer a similar service back in June 2008, but it is only available in business and first classes.
Love the idea of being able to catch up on 30 Rock instead of being reduced almost to tears because the only thing left to watch on a long-haul flight was “Legally Blonde 2.”
