$5 a Pop
In Sept'07,headed to US with Lufthansa/US Airways from Hyderabad,India.
Service and Food in Lufthansa were good.
I took the US Airways flight from Frankfurt to Cleveland,OH, the flight service was not too bad but what boggled me was the attendant handed me over the headset and said $5 with a BIG MOUTH, I seriously thought she was kidding until I was forced to pay her $5. Considering the 8 hour flight, I cared more for the in-flight entertainment. I got the headset only to realize the inferior quality of it and just before the wheels went down, the headset went down too.I watched two movies(Wild Hogs, Blades of Glory) and felt $5 was a great deal rather than boredom to death ( 6 footer cramped up in coach class) at an altitude of 40,000 feet.
Next time you guys have a ticket on US Airways, you might consider taking a good headset with you.
On my return flight to India( a month later), I got my broken headphones exchanged and watched two more "Live Free or Die Hard, Next" and enjoyed the movies and had to force eat the raw leaves and half baked potato, US Airways called "Special Asian Veg. Meal"
Later, when I googled I found it very explicitly mentioned on the US Airways website, thanks guys-you have the disclaimer clear there. "You may use your own headsets or purchase headsets for $5 USD that can be used on future US Airways flights".
