They also encourage you to provide info on yourself (create an account, provide birthday) to even use the screen on the seat back…

    Flights have amenities. Some give you free food, some free wifi.

    None of it is actually free of course. It's just that the cost is included in the ticket price.

    I don't want food or WiFi. I want legroom so I can sleep. I don't want seatback entertainment. I don't want a complimentary tea towel, blanket, and neck pillow. I don't want your stupid cheapo earbuds. I don't want Tim Tams and that little sachet of Vegemite with my toast. I don't want your gross instant coffee. I don't even want a flat white. I don't care that you have soymilk. And thay muffin you gave me has egg in it. I told you I can't have egg. I don't want your little tiny tube of toothpaste with that miniature toothbrush. I don't want to watch Adam Sandler's Wedding Singer on that screen you have on the wall in front of the aisle. I want legroom. I want to watch the insides of my eyelids. I hate having to lay my legs sideways for hours and being unable to relax or sleep because I am knees-pressed against the seat in front of me. And that camera on the seat back freaks me out. Why why why. Just let me sleep.

    Sorry. I got a bit agitated there.

    I mean if the price of wifi is offset by showing a single ad, it seems preeeetty stingy after you already paid for a seat.

    Other airlines make you pay $6-$10 for the wifi. Wouldn't you rather watch one ad and get it for free?
