Airways Safe for Talking

Airways Safe for Talking 07/17/2004 07:49 PM
Qualcomm lofts media, officials to show that plane stays in air while cell phones used: Qualcomm would certainly enjoy having more people using more advanced phones more of the time, and their proof-of-concept with a commercial American Airlines aircraft--but obviously not a commercial flight--out of Dallas/Ft. Worth on Thursday was intended to gather data and allay fears. The fear of cell phones used in the air is certainly a bogeyman: there are a few known, unexplained instances of a cell phone in use that may have affected some airplane equipment, but there's no widely known, widely reproduced instances of cell phones affecting systems. The FCC and FAA are following a better safe than sorry approach. Qualcomm was testing a picocell that was onboard the aircraft. This is the third of these kinds of tests from different firms that I'm aware of from just the last few weeks. The friendly skies will be even more full of chatter soon. While the picocell was 3G, according to the press release, only voice and text messages were used over the system--no pure data. An American Airlines EVP is quoted in the article saying that in-air cell use is about two years away, which conforms with what's being said elsewhere. Industrial-grade earplugs or stereo earpieces--which can be custom-molded for your canals--will probably be a good growth industry for the flying market. Expect to see in-flight magazines half full of advertisements on reducing irritation of adjacent loud talkers....

Treat British Airways as damage and

Cory Doctorow: I was trying to buy a one-way ticket from Brussels to London in September, and I ran into the weirdest, dumbest thing: British Airways won't sell you a ticket over the Web if your credit-card isn't billed in the same country the flight originates in (Er, hello? You're an airline -- that means you deal with people who are traveling, sometimes to countries other than the one that they reside in).

So I called BA and was told that the same ticket would cost 400 percent more if bought over the phone. So I went to a BA counter in Boston and was quoted a fare that was 200 percent more than the Web-fare.

I tried booking through Expedia, but they wanted to mail me a paper ticket. Since I rarely touch down in any city for more than a couple days, intersecting with a postal-delivery system for time-sensitive materials is pretty tricky.

Then I gave up on the Web and went to SN Brussels Air, a little carrier whose website has never ever worked for me. I called the London reservations desk and booked a ticket for exactly what BA charges via its website.

That's no surprise: as it turns out, the flight is operated by British Airways. It's the same goddamned plane.

So that's the point of this post: if ever you want to book a ticket on BA from Brussels to London, book it through SN Brussels Air (by phone -- the website will probably remain busted for all eternity), and you can circumvent BA's dumbass ecommerce policies and extorionate phone/counter prices.
