  2. “When Paul Astin, a British executive of a big construction company here on the Persian Gulf, travels by air, he no longer drives to the airport. His favorite airlines, Emirates Airlines, sends a car to pick him up, as it does with all its business and first-class passengers in London, Paris, Hong Kong, and 12 other cities. In business class he has a choice of 48 movie cassettes he can load when he wants, and a couple of dozen music and talk programs. Even in economy, passengers may choose from 17 movies and 18 video games available on personal screens. Mr. Astin dines on meals set on pink linen and sips fine wines.”New York Times - January 5, 2003
