Innovation at its Best at British Airways: 'Happiness Blanket'

                   British Airways Showcases its 'Happiness Blanket'

Taking the experience to a whole new level, British Airways recently showcased its ‘Happiness Blanket’ during a celebratory event in New Delhi to celebrate 90 years in India.

‘Happiness Blanket’ is a revolutionary device that visually shows the well being of a passenger in real time by changing colour to reflect their mood while on-board. The blanket is woven with fibre optics, uses neuro-sensors to measure a person’s brainwaves and changes colour, from red to blue, to show when they’re at their most relaxed and meditative.

The airline hopes monitoring a person’s sleep and relaxation patterns during a flight will inform decisions made to improve aspects of the in-flight service; from changing the timing of meals, what food is served and even the types of films shown – to make flying and sleeping on British Airways flights even more relaxing.

This is the first time this technology has been used by any airline to help shape how service is delivered on board an aircraft.
