FlyPlex
at last, something more interesting than waiting | |
A recent study shows that connecting flight wait is the most stress inducing part of air travel. Flyplex's are multiplexes that are placed in airports across the country and serve as connecting-flight-unbelievably-long-wait relief system. Movie times are planned around air traffic for the day and duration
of wait. No doubt coordinating this would be a huge task… undoubtedly taken care of by software but if an ERP system can take care of every transaction in a billion dollar company I see not how this will fail.

You could do the what early cinemas
did which was allow people to go in the
middle of the movie and leave during
the next showing or stay as long as they
want and see many showings of the
same movie. |
|
| |
Or you could have short films and have
people pay a fixed price to see one days
worth of short films but the tickets
would be good for any flyplex in the
country in case you have more than one
layover. +++ |

Oh. I thought this was going to be some kind of multi-dimensional fly paper. |
|
| |
travel agents could book your cinema tickets for stop overs. |

[neilp] thats a terrific idea.. getting the movie pre booked. |
|
| |
When I worked as a corporate travel consultant, there were actually people who booked flights based upon what movie would be shown on the flight. Maybe this isn't so half-baked after all? [+] |

did the robots take my underpants? |

Or, much better: Just rent a DVD player and the DVD movie from one of those kiosks in the airport. This is baked in a few airports (at least the one here in San Jose) |

After hours sitting in a cramped seat on a plane, do you want to sit for another two hours in a movie theatre before you sit on another plane for hours? |
