Bit of blog adim between Delta trying to take over the world and the Dubai airshow, it’s time to congratulate Gray at Wing and a Prayer as he has migrates from WordPress to Boarding Area Business Travellers Blogs
His blog competes with mine in dry humor and sarcasm, but has some very good adventures including a great East European and Iraq adventure, as well as news and views with an Anerican slant (including a close watch on United Airlines… which no one does at all)
Congrats again Gray – Enjoy the cookies at Boarding Area

The real world is keeping me a bit too busy at the moment due to the joy of the return to work and my friend’s graduation.
There should be a post a bit later on – I’ll be rounding off the ERJ-170 post a bit later today.

Greetings to those in my office who are reading this if you read to the bottom of my byebye email! For those of you who are joining Ghettoife.com the first time, or are semi regular readers of this blog – it’s time for the Sydney run!
Update from the flat – Yes – I’ve almost packed now… next stop is the train … (although packing is STILL a royal pain!)

Let travel commence!

So I can’t spell ghetto.
I’ve re-registered the Domain, and it’s should all be pointing in the right place. Meanwhile new readers… Welcome!
Here are a few classics you’ve missed so far:
As well as a few regular features:
I’ll also be covering airline news, and anything that grabs my eyes (like the crew of Air New Zealand)
All the posts have a slightly twisted and humours bent, and of course comments are open. Please feel free to drop your thoughts in.
Thank you for choosing Kevin’s Ghetto IFE. We know you have a choice in blogs.

After some attempts at starting a blog (some of which were complete failures, and some of which are still going), I’ve decided to focus my energies on a new blog that hopefully 1) I’ll keep up to date and 2) people might read
So what is the point of this blog? I’m still not sure, but I’m covering a few keywords here to start with:
- Getto IFE (In-Flight Entertainment )
- Flying>
- Trip reports
- Photography
- Some random IT Geekiness
- and anything else that I can think of
There will be of course, very bad humour on this blog – but those who know me know this already
Some content will of course be mirrored from my existing photoblog, I’ll try and keep away from the the so called Bloggers philosophy. Honest
There will be signs of dust here until I’ve got this ready to go… so please excuse my mess…

Welcome to GhettoIFE.com!
I’m your host – Kevin – and I’ll be here to guide you through the maze of modern travel, and hopefully add some insightful comment and humour.
With GhettoIFE getting on for 2 years old, I’ve had a bit of a design refresh, and tidied up, so for older viewers who make it here – yes, it’s the same content will all the usual sarcasm as always.
As well as random posts on the days events, my trip reports and a few other bits, there will be a few “regular” slots including:
- The News – Commercial aviation news in a bite size ripped to bits segments.
- Trip Reports – When I actually go swanning off to explore the world.
- The Soapbox – Where I get to rant and moan about things – Signed Annoyed of Birmingham.
- Airplane p0rn – Yes it’s my photography lovefest of air planes All clean for work. Published every Sunday.
- How to save money … so far on telephone calls and how to get money on flights back via cashback
- And analysis on IFE and what’s happening in the world of IFE
GhettoIFE.com is updated once or twice a day depending on what’s going on in the world when I’m at my base, and a lot less frequently when I’m away travelling.
All the posts have a slightly twisted and humours bent, and of course comments are open. Please feel free to drop your thoughts in.
I don’t Twitter, nor do Facebook – so it’s traditional email through the comment boxes or direct at blog@ghettoife.com
Thank you for choosing Kevin’s Ghetto IFE. We know you have a choice in blogs.
