These Windows tablets (hopefully not the discontinued Surface 2) would be able to offer access to various media such as music, games and videos on longer-distance flights. This initiative is set to kick off from the first of next month, where the new ‘Inflight Entertainment tablets powered by Microsoft’ will be available to those who are jetting it out on long-haul flights.
Those who happen to be in First Class, in addition to top-tier frequent flyers, can enjoy the use of such tablets for free. As for the other passengers, there will be a fee of $8 and $10 in order to rent the tablet throughout the flight. There will be pre-loaded Xbox games for Windows, such as Microsoft Sudoku, Solitaire Collection and Mahjong. With so many people owning tablets these days, why not just bring your own tablet and use it in-flight? [Press Release]
