Eos offers free Sony cameras to all passengers

The transatlantic business-class-only industry has been heating up recently with the exit of Maxjet and the entrance of British Airways into the market. As the number of carriers and options increases, airlines are now resorting to other gimmicks to keep passengers booking.Eos Airlines' latest carrot? Free Sony cameras to all passengers! Fly on an expensive enough ticket and you'll get a free MiniDv Handicam, while cheaper fares net you a Cyber-shot digital camera.
Sure, you have to book a business class ticket first -- and those can run well into the multiple thousands of dollars. But if the company or the client is paying for your ticket, taking a small kickback from the airline can't hurt, right?
Tickets must be booked by the end of February, while all travel must be complete by the end of May.

Airplanes are starting to get a lot more freebies these days. Kraft was handing out breakfast boxes with a new cream cheese recently, now cameras on business class.
It could be a way for airlines to make up for all the service cuts - find sponsors to provide meals and goody bags with hefty advertising.
