Economy-Class Innovation: Improved in-seat entertainment.
It may share a name with one of the Kardashian clan, but Singapore’s KrisWorld entertainment system delivers more than just reality stars. It’s like a hybrid of Netflix and Spotify with 80 on-demand movies, 180 TV programs, a dozen radio channels with hundreds of songs, and Dolby headphones for everyone. On almost every aircraft, the airline is rolling out international Wi-Fi with OnAir for a small fee. And even in economy there are USB ports for charging—or for preparing presentations using a thumb drive and the built-in office software.
