| Scott board the plane last. As he gets on the plane his device interfaces with the planes on board system. The device tells him where there is still room in an overhead bin and he puts his carry on there. The device remembers that location, along with confirming that his checked baggage in now on the same plane as him.
Scott sits in his the seat and extends the device's roll up screen. Now the device shows In-flight services instead of the airport system.
He starts to plan for the 11 hours that he will spend on the airplane. He checks mealtimes and the menu first. He sees that the flight attendance can prepare vegetarian food with black coffee and apple juice for him and that he can order that through the device in advance.
While there is a display for his coach seat, he prefers the hi-res one built into his device. He is able to access the same entertainment content as others on the plane and doesn't have to pay for it because that content won't work outside of the plane. In this entertainment mode he uses the devices standard interface controls, so he doesn't have to learn anything new.
After watching a movie, he tries to learns Japanese through the device, a feature the plane enables. But he gets bored trying to learn a language from a computer.
He posts to the planes internal message board that he would like a Japanese tutor. After a few minutes, he contacted by a Japanese man and they agree to meet in the planes lounge.
The device alarms 1 hours before their arrival at Narita airport.
He uses the device to access the planes system and check what paperwork he will need to disembark. He is missing a form and uses an onboard printer to print it out and sign it.
While circling the airport Scott uses the device to find ground transportation and plan out where he is going in the airport.
As he leaves the plane the device reminds him where his carry on is.
As it did in LAX the device leads him through the airport, this time interfacing with the Narita system.
While going to the baggage claim, the device notifies him that his bags will be delayed for 15 minutes so he slows down to take in the sight of a busy Japanese airport.
He gets to baggage claim with perfect timing and uses the device to check he has the right bags.
Scott's friend is waiting outside and he is ready to experience Japan. |
