![]() ![]() With multiple built-in switchable inputs available in the Sabre-32 DACs which are easily implementable under software control, there is even no need for an external switching device.Ĭertainly no modding is necessary since the AE already has a Toslink output. Now, adding an additional “Airplay” input to the audio system is a desirable option, especially for an “iOS household” like mine. I have been contemplating modding the Airport Express since at least 2009, but never got around doing it. Its performance can be enhanced several notches if the I2S digital output can be tapped. “The beauty of this unassuming component,” said JA, “is its S/PDIF data output, which allows the Airport Express to assume a respectable role in a true high-end audio system.” However, its lack of an internal clock can lead to the first couple of seconds of songs being missed with DACs that are slow to lift their mutes. And always put your seat up for meal service.While the Airport Express works only with iTunes v4.6 or later (running on both PCs and Macs), is limited to 16-bit data, and functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate, the combination of iTunes and the Airport Express offered an easy way to pipe CD-quality music around the entire home. If someone needs extra space - like parent with a small child - maybe think twice before reclining. So, always look back before you gently recline your seat. If you want to end up famous on YouTube, that isn’t the way to do it. We’ve all seen those viral videos of air rage, usually fought over personal space. “My neighbour might say, ‘I paid $1,500 for the seats and I’m going to get my extra three inches.’ And totally, power to you.”īut if you do decide to recline, do so with care and consideration, the two former flight attendants note. “This is a very personal decision,” said Cameron-Epp. “I’ve always said, the seats were designed to recline,” she explained.Ĭameron-Epp, in contrast, never puts back her seat if someone is sitting behind her.īoth agree, however, that the choice is personal. To recline or to not recline? Even our two experts are on opposite sides of the debate. We’re wading into some controversial territory here. Go ahead and recline - with care and consideration If you want to be an etiquette saint, volunteer to check your carry-on luggage at the gate. In any case, neither your handbag nor designer coat is worthy of that space.Ĭameron-Epp said some passengers lose sight that an airplane is a shared space: “Airline tickets are very expensive and I think sometimes there’s almost an illusion where people who spent $1,500 on a ticket think that they’re entitled to more than the space they have purchased,” she said. That overhead space is precious - especially now that everyone is paranoid about checking in their luggage given all the lost-baggage chaos over the past year. And once you’re on board - unless the flight is empty - the larger bag goes in the overhead bin and the personal item is placed under the seat in front of you.ĭon’t be that person who places their designer coat in the overhead bin only to pretend it isn’t theirs when other passengers desperately look for a space to store their carry-on. You know the drill: cabin baggage is limited to one standard item and one personal item, only. In short: plan ahead, arrive at the airport with time to spare and be near your gate as the boarding time approaches. “Expect the unexpected, especially this summer as I think it’s going to be an extremely busy travel season.” “Most people don’t give themselves enough time to get to the airport,” said Jacqueline Whitmore, a former flight attendant turned etiquette expert who founded the The Protocol School of Palm Beach. But forgetting to grab your favourite ice cappuccino and scrambling to do so on the final boarding call is not one of them. In some cases, there are wholly justifiable reasons why you might be late. Or worse, how about those travellers, whose luggage is already in the cargo hold, but who miss the flight altogether, forcing ground crews to off-load that bag, prompting a costly delay? ![]() They’re reserved for those oblivious stragglers who hold up the flight during boarding, sauntering in without a care in the world, maybe with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, as the clock ticks on. ![]()
