“Customers on our all-business class Airbus A340-500 flights now have an incredible way to enjoy their own iPod and iPhone music and video on the KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system,” said Yap Kim Wah, Senior Vice-President Product & Services, for Singapore Airlines. “This is yet another example of our philosophy of creating customer satisfaction by providing an enhanced sense of choice and control.”

“The iPod is the world’s most popular digital music player and iPhone is a revolutionary mobile device, and they have become essential for millions of travelers,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod & iPhone Product Marketing. “Singapore Airlines’ customers can now enjoy their music, TV shows and movies on their iPod and iPhone through the in-flight entertainment system.”

All you have to do is connect your iPod via 9 pin or iPhone via 30 pin connector which is integrated into the seats. They even have power supply for your devices, which will make sure that the battery won’t run dry on a long flight.

iPod and iPhone integration commenced with Singapore Airlines’ A345 non-stop flights from Newark – Singapore on 15 May, and on the carrier’s Los Angeles – Singapore nonstops from August
