Selected Airlines Operate Flights With No Movies
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
As travelers are well aware, airlines typically screen movies that must be carefully avoided by the religious public. On most flights to Europe the films are shown on central screens, whereas on flights to the US every passenger has a personal screen, which also pose a problem for passengers striving to maintain reasonable standards of modesty.
To deal with the problem Vaad HaRabbonim LeInyonei Tachbura has created mini-barriers (curtains) that can be attached to the seat, enabling passengers to pray and learn in accordance with halacha. To receive a mechitza and guidance, call 02-537-7793 or 057-315-5613 or 057-311-9088.
The following airlines operate flights with no movies at all and therefore should be preferred since they would be considered "iko darko achrino" (see Bovo Basra 57b with Rambam): EasyJet, Austria Airlines, Alitalia, KLM, Iberia, Lot, Aerosvit, MALEV, Czech Airlines, JetAir and Brussels Airlines.
