More ways to see movies at the airport

Posted on August 15th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas

Not only has redbox (see below) begun serving airports, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that Atlanta-based Flexplay Entertainment has teamed up with Hudson News Co. to offer “time-limited” DVD rentals at airports throughout North America.

Beginning in September, Hudson news stands and Hudson Booksellers at many airports will begin selling DVDs that, once removed from their packaging, become un-viewable after 48 hours.

Airport movie rentals go red

Posted on August 15th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas

For a while now, the folks at InMotion Entertainment have been renting DVDs and portable DVD players at about 30 airports around the country. Travelers can pick up a player and a movie in one city and drop everything off at their destination. If there’s no InMotion outlet where they’re going, everything can be dropped in the mail.

Now comes word that redbox - an outfit that rents DVDs for $1 a night out of automated red boxes in 9,000 grocery stores, McDonalds, and other locations around the country – is expanding to airports.

The first redbox airport location is at Nashville International Airport (BNA). There’s one kiosk pre-security and another located past security screening.

Bonus: Join the redbox mailing list and you’ll get one free redbox DVD rental.

Films, fashion and flying

Posted on May 16th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas

The Cannes Film Festival runs through May 25th and Air France, the festival’s official air carrier, has posted intriguing new film-related material on a special site.

Poke around and you’ll find excerpts from films “starring” Air France as well as a gallery of photos showing actors and actresses such as Audrey Hepburn, Buster Keaton and Sean Connery posing on Air France planes.

My favorite section of the site: the virtual paper flight attendant doll with mix-and-match designer outfits. (You’ll need to click through a bit; stay to the right.)
