iPods For Rent On The Plane

You do need to travel from your home in one state and then fly up to yet another state all across the country. It would certainly take you more than just a couple of hours so that you can reach your destination and then later on get settled in your hotel. So what do you do during your long and very boring travel all across the United States?

If you are from Mexico, then you may be quite familiar with Volaris. Volaris is actually an airplane based on that state and it is one of those airlines that do offer to fly you from one place to another for a really low cost. And as part of their effort to actually bring in more sales and keep the customers coming to their airlines and their business, Volaris is now offering their passengers the chance to enjoy and entertain themselves with music. How? They are offering iPods for rent and each would cost you $5. And $5 to rent an iPod for the whole trip is an okay amount in fact.

Sure, the iPods that are going to be for rent on the Volaris fleet of airplanes and airbuses are going to have their own set of headsets and accessories. Of course, iPod Accessories are going to be quite different from those that you are going to use when you are flying over the country.

Volaris also did mention that they are going to offer their passengers the option of renting out an iPod for their flights and travels. After all, the company does say that the iPod is very much a popular treat to music and video lovers and by offering such a gadget on their flights, Volaris is going to have a really great advantage over all other grand airlines. The truth is, the world of airlines has been bombarded with rumors that carriers like Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and even Continental Airlines would be offering their passengers to plug in and dock their iPods on the seats of the airplanes. However, it does look like Volaris has gone on ahead and took the scoop on the popular gadgets.

So what kinds of files are already stored on the iPods that have been sent out for rent for Volaris passengers? According to those who have tried the gadgets out, they have been entertained through the whole flight with popular pieces of music as well as television shows from Mexico. However, because not all are coming from Mexico, Volaris is saying that they are soon going to also add in sitcoms from the US as well as other different types of music for those who are looking for alternative choices.

The whole scheme started out last February 8.
