Big Deal! Southwest Now Shows Free Movies In Flight


How many flying seniors remember 30 or so years back when movies were projected on small screens up front of the passenger cabin?

Now, as with some competing airlines, SW has ended the $5 charge for watching in-flight movies on seat back screens. The programs can always be prerecorded at home and seen on personal devices, such as smartphones. Also, SW passengers can now watch live TV broadcasts and some first-time entertainment videos on seat back screens.
Singapore And France Ban Scooters From Sidewalks PDF Print E-mail

Scooters are no longer allowed on sidewalks in France, but with more moderate fines for violators at just $150 (135 euros).
