Actually, American Eagle (and possibly others) have these.. they're built into the tray table latch.

One of the few items Skybus got right - their pockets were in the top of the seat, behind the headrest.

- Confusing signage on where to find shuttles. Nothing better than bouncing between arrival and departure levels to find the bus you need.

- Hotels that still insist on charging for internet.

- Airports that have small "pods" of gates beyond security, so that once you've cleared security you only have a couple (if any) food options.

- PA systems that can't be heard outside the immediate boarding area. If it's standing-room only at my gate, and I want to have a seat at the next gate over, it would be nice if the announcements were loud enough to hear from just a few feet away.

One of the BEST items I've come across was at a MIA airport hotel that had in-room TV channels for the arrival/departure screens. If I know my flight is delayed a couple of hours, I can just relax in the hotel room.
