At home, you can still read the in-flight magazine

Air Travel, Photos, Travel tips, ,

Do you read the airline magazine tucked into the seatback pocket?

A lot of these publications are getting awfully thin and awfully boring.  A few have disappeared altogether.

And some have popped up on-line.

Take a look at the latest issue of KLM’s iFly magazine.

The theme is “Light” and there are loads of great images, stories, videos, music, and audio clips and interviews.

There’s an interview with an astronaut, tips on visiting Berlin, a variety of other great multi-media features and an incredible slide-show of photographs by Censi Goepel and Jens Warnecke, who create images with amazing light effects.

 

The story includes videos showing how the duo make some of the images.

Souvenir Sunday: Get tiled

It’s Souvenir Sunday here at StuckatTheAirport.com – a day to look at fun, inexpensive and, ideally, offbeat souvenirs from airports.

This week’s souvenir isn’t something you can take home from the airport, but something you might be able to put on an airplane: your face.

 

As part of KLM’s Facebook-based “Tile and Inspire” campaign, you have until May 25, 2011 to upload your portrait and a short message onto a themed, traditional Delft Blue tile. The airline will then choose about 4,000 of the tiles and apply them to the body of a KLM Boeing 777-200 that will begin flying in June.

Ready to tile yourself? You can create a personal Delft Blue Tile on KLM’s Facebook page or at www.tileyourself.com. The airline is inviting inspirational messages in Chinese, Dutch, English, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, French and Spanish.
