DL/NW Flight 253 Terror Incident. Merry Christmas...
It seems that Delta/Northwest Flight 253 Amsterdam to Detroit had a little "fun" on it, with an attempted terrorism attempt on it.
A 23-year-old Nigerian man was trying to ignite an explosive device as the A330 begun it's 20 minute approach to Detroit. He was overpowered by some of the 278 passengers and 11 crew.
Reports say he burnt his leg. No-one else was hurt. The suspect was in a database indicating "a significant terrorist connection" although it did not appear on a "no-fly" list (so much for intelligence eh?)
President Obama, has ordered increased security for air travel. Reports are indicating that security is being increased at all ports heading to America especially at LHR.

A useful list from Delta!
Shock and horror from the airline that brought us a finger waggle that "Smoking is not allowed on any Delta flight"
For some time people have had to guess what IFE is installed onboard an aircraft. Well Delta has taken some of the pain out of the guesswork (and wasting hours on SeatGuru) and published a list on their blog (http://blog.delta.com/2009/05/20/in-flight-entertainment-survey/)
List of what has what installed (from the list, its the combined DL+NW fleet)
(32) A330s
(7) 737-700s
(28) 737-800s
(65) 757-200s
(15) 767-300s (domestic aircraft)
(15) 767-400ERs
(8) 777-200ERs
(8) 777-200LRs
With no AVOD/IFE installed in Economy class, but installed in Business class
(16) 747-400s
(57) 767-300ERs (international aircraft BusinessElite only)
Lets do a take-apart here. Delta have done a fair bit with WiFi on planes, and improving the product, but the mid/long haul traveller is... stuffed as the 747/767 International birds are deployed on TATL, South America, Australia and Asia routes. Also the DC9/MD8x/MD9x seem to be missing from that list (which isn't surprising - although the MD birds seem to have WiFi appearing on them...)
As usual this is a good case of check what sort of aircraft you're flying on - it'll give you an indicator of what to expect. If you're flying from Europe and need to be entertained, personally, I'd target the A330 routes first...
But thumbs up to Delta for getting the list out there.
