Good grief: cellphones, double beds on planes?

Airlines have given us a lot to complain about, slashing just about everything to save money.

Now it's time for long-suffering travelers to complain about what the airlines may give us next: cellphones and double beds (a Branson idea for Virgin Airlines), reports The Seattle Times.

"Airlines should listen up.

-- They could limit when cellphones can be used or allow only text-messaging.

-- They could designate quiet zones on planes where phones are banned.

-- Or they could create walled-off areas where cell-phone users could talk and not bug everyone else, like the crying rooms for parents and squealing toddlers in movie theaters.

- Better yet, the airlines should just say no to cellphones. Let passengers talk — face-to-face.
