You may have to pay more for your United Airlines flight these days, but starting today, some international passengers will be able to connect their iPod or iPhone into their seat's entertainment system.
Travelers in first and business class will be able to plug in their iPod or iPhone, charge it and watch their videos on their 15.4-inch personal screen. The first aircraft to offer the service leaves tonight from Washignton, D.C. to Zurich, and will primarily fly on trans-Atlantic routes.
United is the first but not the only airline planning to offer iPod and iPhone connectivity for its passengers. About two years ago, Apple said it was working with six airlines, including Delta and Continental, to offer the service.
