looks like angry liberals aren t the only things airlines are saying good-bye to. the tv screen of the head rest on the chair that you kick could soon be gone. aviation experts believe that technology will become obsolete at some point in the coming years as more people fly with their own devices. last month, american, american airlines announced they won t be installing the black screens on any of their new planes. and losing the little monitors will save $3,000 project, and they plan to add power outlets and provided that you pay $16 for the wi-fi. that s a bargain, right? anthony, i don t know if i like this. i put my device away or i charge it. i don t want to have tim remember to bring my own device or charge or anything like that. i kind of like it. at that point, why not take everything out? who needs windows?
business. i think their epiphany came after 9/11 and gas prices spiked and they were able to raise them. then the bag fees. how dare you change your reservation and then a reservation fee. why would you pack bags? go have fun. it s so amazing. one of the big problems i think now is there s so few of the airlines left. in 2000 there were like ten big ones. now there s four. it s tough to compete. pack everybody in and charge you for every single thing that they can think of. it s mind boggling. at the same time, american apparently going to be adding some perks. they are going to shell out $2 billion for upgrades. more seat back video screens, wifi, new seats, power outlets, more economy seats with extra leg room. and new check-in kiosks. so american they are going to
or else they could confiscate your smartphone or ipad. joining me now for his travel tips in the next 24 is jonathan capehart. this gets a little complicated. if we re traveling overseas and have not had time to power up and then if you hit that security barrier, if your laptop or whatever is not powerable, you could lose it. you could lose it. i think this is something that secretary johnson and the folks at homeland security and tsa are going to have to work out some of those kinks. i think what we re going to see is a whole lot of people in some airports overseas crowding around power outlets or sharing, you know, recharging cords to get their electronics at least over a few nuggets so that they can get through security. this is something really that isn t new. when i read this report, i thought this sounds vaguely familiar. and i remember early, early on
when, you know, they asked us to take our laptops and put them in separate bins that they would ask you to open it and turn it on to see that it boots up. so the fact that and then that stopped for a long time. the fact that that s starting again at certain airports overseas is interesting. well it was laptops right after 9/11. now it s going to be smartphones, anything, everything electronic. you have to figure out how to organize yourself and some of us who are a little more disorganized and don t always have the right outlets for different countries. we re talking about overseas flights. it gets a little more complicated in terms of sharing the power outlets. but this does indicate the concern about the threat in yemen where they have the bombmaker who has everyone scared. this is the same bombmaker who was responsible for putting the was it the fax machine that was on the flight? i remember that a while back.
people that i became close with. this is my train car doing the wave, because they knew at this point we knew that nick had beat us. many people were disappointed, but i want, c mon, guys, let s pull together. i forced maybe one of them to do it. even though the train was much slower than i expected and this was the fastest version of the train that you could take, i will say the seats were lovely. wide seeds. i had a full table, power outlets, wifi the whole time. had a club car where i could get food, drink, and the company was delightful. nick, you won on time, a little over three hours, actually, stopping to do live shots, you came in under three hours. tell us about this experience. this was coming out of new york. i thought upper west side. we seed to hit every red light.
