JAL, Japan Airlines, is offering a in-flight DS Lite campaign during their international flights between June 1st and August 31st 2006. Granted this is only for First Class and Executive passengers but it is still a rather cool idea. So all you need to do is check whether your flight has this service during those dates and then ask the flight attendent for one, nicely though! Interestingly under the Terms and Conditions, one of the points states that the DS Lites have been specially manufactured without WiFi, so you can’t even test out the gameplay with your angry neighbour. I think there have been a few reports of people’s laptops being hacked on flights using WiFi (so it’s not that dangerous), but I guess they don’t even want to risk it. Some other funny T&C’s include;
- “The Civil Aviation Law prohibits the use of these consoles during takeoff and landing. Flight attendants will collect distributed Nintendo DS Lite consoles and earphones during takeoff and landing.” – Good luck trying to get it out of a kid’s (or adult’s) hands, they’ll be like ‘I’m so close to the end, can you just wait a minute’
- “The number of consoles on each plane is limited, and one may not be available upon request. The service is also limited to one console per passenger. We ask for your understanding in this matter.” – Because we can all use three DS Lites at once can’t we. Trying to beat ourselves through the non-existant WiFi.
