Travel Goes Tech: In-Flight Social Networks and Google Glass Check-In

"Flying is less glamorous than it used to be," Virgin Atlantic discovered in a survey of 10,000 passengers — though, uh, we could've told you that! To bring a "glamorous" addition traveling, starting this week Virgin Atlantic staff at Heathrow Airport will meet upper class passengers at the curb wearing Google Glass to begin check-in. The staff will also use the wearable technology to update guests on flight information, weather, and breaking news from their destination.
