Airline seat as personalized in-flight office

by Christina Mackenzie
LE BOURGET, France, June 19 (AFP) - Chatting on a cell phone, surfing the Net from a laptop and watching video-on-demand will soon all become part of the standard flying experience, even in economy class, say exhibitors at the weeklong 46th Paris Air Show, which ends Sunday.
Technology that transforms airline seats into personalized in-flight offices will be available within months on some airlines, and within a year or two on others, the exhibitors said.
