Airline Playlists Go Patriotic
Quick--name your three favorite New Zealand bands or singers. Can't think of that many? We can't either, so it's probably a good thing that Air New Zealand is implementing an all-Kiwi-music scheme.
From now on, passengers on all the domestic flights across New Zealand will be entertained by a playlist consisting purely of local music (including names like Dave Dobbyn, Goldenhorse and Tiki, if they ring any bells). Departure lounges and air bridges operating Air New Zealand flights will also have tunes by local artists piped in.
It seems like a lovely idea, but we're not sure how transferable it is. All-Australian rock on Qantas is something we can imagine. But we're not sure if we could survive an Iceland Express flight which played 100% Björk, no matter how cheap the flight might be.
