- Great seat back entertainment travel hack (American, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines passengers feel free to skip this).

- Officials in Gaya, India want to change their airport code GAY because, well…
- American Airlines ‘travel with a toddler’ life.
I’ve been stuck at @INDairport for nearly 8 hours, half of which was spent trapped ON THE PLANE with my 1 y/o. Back at the gate waiting for a shred of info more enlightening than “we’re waiting on the mechanics to arrive, then we’ll have an update for you.” @AmericanAir pic.twitter.com/970MXLxqNR

- Vietnam re-opening to vaccinated tourists with predeparture testing and health insurance requirement.
- Some people are just happy to be in first class.
When ur celebrating in 1stclass on @AmericanAir & the stewardess comes to only me & says I’m rowdy & was the leader of everyone celebrating I started this when everyone participated. Is this racial profiling? Most flights are fighting & we were happy. Shame on u #AmericanAirlines pic.twitter.com/YpAW6w9t9y

How does the hack work please?
I don’t do Twitter.
It’s not much of a hack, it’s a product that you can buy. Here’s the article https://www.johnnyjet.com/travel-hack-how-to-use-your-wireless-headphones-to-watch-in-flight-movies/
Thanks Arthur!
@ Gary — Yeah, not a hack. These have been around for a while.
Racial profiling?
What’s the over/under on how many comments we’ll need until Jackshit Waterson and his crew come telling us about some nonsense 13% / 51% stat?
It’s incredible how many supposedly well-traveled (open minded) people HATE blacks. To the extent that every. Single. Post. that Gary Leff ever makes referencing black people gets a flood of vile comments.
Let’s not forget that AmeriKKKa was built by the SLAVERY of blacks and even well into the 20th century blacks were EXPLICITLY discriminated. There is a gated neighborhood — not in the deep south, but in San Fran-fucking-cisco — where it was written that white skin color was REQUIRED for homeownership. This clause was not removed until the late 1940s.
Think about these FACTS before any commenters below me start some RACIST crap.
Back to the AirFly- I was shocked these things cost $50. Like someone says above, this technology has been around a long time. Search for Multipoint Bluetooth 5.0 Audio Transmitter on any cheap electronic site- I got one from AliExpress for $10 and it works fine.
@Big Booty – “It’s incredible how many supposedly well-traveled (open minded) people HATE blacks. To the extent that every. Single. Post. that Gary Leff ever makes referencing black people gets a flood of vile comments.”
No one mentioned race until you did, genius.
Why would you need this adapter on United when you can connect your wireless headphones to the IFE directly?
Instead of spending unnecessary money on entertainment, how about spending a few dollars to earn a social media marketing certificate from the University of Delaware?
There are lots of headphone jack to Bluetooth adapters that are cheaper than the one in the article – go to Amazon and search “headphone jack to Bluetooth transmitter”. Many under $20.
