Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways has found a new answer to beating the boredom on long flights.its planned to introduce the world's first in-flight texting service, which will allow passengers to have questions answered on any topic at 35,000 feet.
Passengers will be able to text questions from their seat-back television screens to an existing land-based text answer service which promises to answer any question within minutes.

Qantas have had inflight texting for ages now and I'd much prefer to text a friend for info than some arbitrary service.

Speaking of Quantas, Did you know that
Qantas was formerly an acronym for the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.
I found that out yesterday during a heated discussion about the pros and cons of "fly by wire"
Anyway, back to topic....
