It seems to me that would take a lot of space.

That’s a huge fleet. With an average of 150 seats per plane, that’s over 115,000 iPads. Incredible.

However, it is reported that this year they will start to be phased out, replaced with Boeing 787 aircraft.

Also, you can get their inflight magazine as an iPad download.

Given this information and a choice, I’m not sure I’d trust flying with Virgin…just sayin’.

Qantas to provide all BOEING 767 passengers with iPads.

Obviously, Qantas has more than 767 passengers :)

It makes me happy to think that not only will the entertainment be better, but bigger screen, and more legroom! Win win!

How do they make any money?!”-andintroducing

The first line of the article says: Qantas passengers on the airline’s 767 planes will be provided with iPads for their inflight entertainment…”

It’s not a good idea to write a comment after only having read the headline.

Looking forward to all air lines doing he same.

Dogfight over Oz!

The original article has it correctly as “tonnes”. (Anyone who thinks THAT’S a typo also should look it up-metric English)

I really love how the weight translates to musical tones! :-)
