US Airways announced that it will no longer be offering in-flight movies on domestic US flights starting in November. The move was announced as a fuel saving measure…at 500 pounds per plane, the in-flight entertainment systems weighed too much for the carrier to justify leaving them on board. The carrier said it will save $10 million per year in fuel costs by getting rid of the movies. Given the fuel crunch its hard to argue the move but unless all the other carriers follow suit why would you choose to fly US Airways? Unless of course you usually bring your own entertainment (BYOE) via iPod/iPhone when flying.
