Angry Birds in an Airplane! Kinda Sorta.

February 9, 2012 at 11:40 AM | by | Comments (0)

We're not going to lie, but Angry Birds might still be our favorite game to play on a plane. It can be played when in airplane mode (ahem, Alec Baldwin) and is the only game that makes us occasionally laugh aloud, all while flinging birds towards mean little pigs. Well, the creators of the game have already announced opening up theme parks designed around the game, but there's more (of course).

If you're huge fan and you've already got Angry Birds flip flops, hoodies, keychains and all those little tchotchkes, our recommendation for your next layover in Helskini is to stop pulling the slingshot and hit the new shop for your favorite characters.

We're going to tell you something you already know: the iPhone game Angry Birds is big. Huge. Ginormous. It's so big that, the other day during a stroll through a night market in Thailand, we spotted many stalls with bootleg Angry Birds T-shirts, tank tops and even flip-flops for sale. Thus it's probably no surprise that of course the airlines are trying to capitalize on the Angry Birds fervor, though not in the way you'd expect.

You know what would be cool? Adding the Angry Birds game to in-flight entertainment. You know what would be kinda weird? Themeing an entire flight after the game, and offering Angry Birds' biggest fans to fly it. According to The Independent, that's what Finnair is doing with their "Angry Birds Asian Challenge" flight:
