Something you didn’t know you missed? Airline music

The World

The World’s studio director, Jonathan Dyer, misses traveling so much, he decided that all the music he played on the show Monday would be airline boarding music. Several airlines around the world commission tunes to accompany you to your seat and stowing your bags during the boarding process. And now the big reveal: We’ve actually been sneaking airline boarding music in the program all week. This week, we have virtually boarded aircraft from All Nippon Air, Etihad, LAT-AM, Oman, Royal Jordanian, Turkish, Emirates, Qantas and Qatar.
