According to a recent report from USA Today, passengers on select JetBlue flights will be able to purchase food and drinks using their iPhone. Even more, iPhone customers will be able to use ApplePay to upgrade to any open premium seat once the flight has started.
The payments will be handled by airline employees using iPad minis with NFC-equipped cases. Apple internet services chief Eddy Cue said more airlines will soon follow with the Apple Pay implementation:
"Somebody else doing it always puts pressure on the other guy."
Marty St. George, a senior vice president at JetBlue, also said the following:
"The sky is definitely not the limit when it comes to mobile payments with Apple Pay."
Once the Apple Watch launches in April, users will be able to take advantage of in-flight Apple Pay payments on the device and certain older iPhone models, as well.
