Airline Apps

Five apps the airlines dont want you to use:

B4 You Board: No more charging $10 for a desperation in-flight meal of food. The B4 You Board app lets you order food from nearby restaurants to be delivered directly to you at your gate. Order up healthy (or just delicious) food that wasn't reheated in the airplane galley, often for cheaper than an in-flight meal

You're going to get a meal delivered to your gate for less than $10? And, if it's a hot meal, it's going to be in better shape by the time you reach cruise altitude and eat it than one heated on board?

From iTunes, looks like it's available at "Chicago O’Hare, JFK and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airports."

A bunch more airports are on the way!

App is free, delivery is free. If you try it, please let me know what you think!

Safe travels,

I think the OPTION is fantastic. How many times do you run between gates? Transfer to other terminals and you're running late. A simple moment on your blackberry and you're not stuck, starving or screwed if the airline runs out of food at your row.

B4YouBoard seems like a pretty cool app. I just downloaded it and saw that HMSHost. Pretty smart idea for them to make extra sales to people in a rush.

I think so, too. Cant tell you how many times I deplane, have to "run" for my next flight, see the long lines at most concession stands, and realize I wont be eating anything substantial until I get home or to my layover.
You could do this while taxiing in, I guess. Bypass the long lines too.
