For more than a decade, I have traveled with an extra monitor. It is a life-saver for productivity on the go. Plus, if you keep an HDMI cable, you can use
I disagree that its an obvious fail state. Surely with all of these airlines flying thousands of passengers, where users watch infotainment on their own devices, mostly with bluetooth, we’d have at least a handful or reports of spotty bluetooth on flights, right? Where are they, then?
People do run into problems. It’s well known that too many Bluetooth devices in a small area can jam each other. It’s not an on/off switch, it’s increasing amounts of interference in the signal. So it appears as interruptions in audio/video or unintended noise.
The budget airline handed out wireless headphones?
No, you bring your own.
So… I’m pretty sure the entire plane wasn’t on Bluetooth headphones then.
And the entire plane wouldn’t be on Bluetooth headphones if the in-flight infotainment systems supported it as an option so what’s your point?
You don’t engineer a system with such an obvious fail state.
