The one I stayed at was Great Huts. What a cool place. I recommend the tree-houses. When was the last time you did that? Definitely unique jamaica lodging.... Portland Jamaica hotels beachside…

Does anyone know if seat power will be supplied at every seat for laptops to use as part of the roll out for this plan? In-Flight broadband is a great offering for Delta.

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:30:20 +0000 http://blog.delta.com/?p=1188#comment-2177 Just wanted to address the filtering issue... As part of our planning to launch Wi-Fi product on our fleet this year we made the decision to block content that few – if any – of our customers would question is appropriate to be viewed on our aircraft. Our focus is to achieve a balanced approach to providing information and entertainment onboard while blocking content that most, if not all, of our customers would find inappropriate. Delta continuously listens to our customers and employees as part of the process for testing any new product. The launch of Wi-Fi is no different in that it has been, and will be, subjected to ongoing customer and employee feedback so that we can offer a product that matches the needs of our customers and employees. Delta's flight attendants are consummate professionals in managing situations onboard our aircraft. Our preference, however, is to enable our crews to focus on their primary roles of safety and providing excellent service to our customers. By filtering content that few – if any – of our customers would question is appropriate to be viewed on our aircraft, we allow our flight attendants to remain focused on the work that is most important to our customers. Finally, our friends at AA also announced this evening that they will filter pornographic content as well. Chris- Just wanted to address the filtering issue…

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:12:46 +0000 http://blog.delta.com/?p=1188#comment-2167 Walkabout...bite your tongue! I am a bit biased on the subject, but I'd argue that Sky is one of the best inflight pubs out there...and it's the most widely-read inflight magazine in the industry. We currently already offer <a href="http://www.delta-sky.com/2008_10/" rel="nofollow">Sky via the Web</a>. Look out for a few of our favorite Delta Sky columnists blogging right here Under the Wing later this week as well. Something to think about...not everyone will bring a laptop onboard and a big chunk of the short-haul fleet (MD88s and the regional jets) don't have IFE. With that in mind, Sky does provide a diversion if a passenger doesn't have their iPod or a magazine. Also...there's a lot of info in Sky that's of real benefit to our customers...route maps, terminal maps, entertainment pages and (my favorite) the Delta fleet page. Love the suggestion on ways to be greener and I definitely appreciate the feedback. Walkabout…bite your tongue!

May be the best thing for Delta is to quit the mag and instead offer a limited web surfing for each passenger. In which the passenger will be limited to some selected sites or some streaming music and would have to watch ads on the way. This would attract customers to pay for Wi-Fi too. Definitely this is profitable than the mag for Delta. Totally agreed with Walkabout. May be the best thing for Delta is to quit the mag and instead offer a limited web surfing for each passenger.
