A new initiative launched by Oneworld airline alliance is to allow travellers to download free audio books, no matter which airline they have flown with.
So far only those lucky enough to fly into either Milan Malpensa or Brussels Zaventem Airports will be able to benefit from this new programme, although there are plans to include Rome Fiumicino soon.
The way the books are accessed is through the airport´s wireless network system from a laptop, smartphone or other internet-enabled device. As many as three audio books can be downloaded at any one time for free.
Among the approximately 4o titles on offer are bestsellers like Angels and Demons by Dan Brown and Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama.
