Forget duty-free perfume: Airlines to start selling cars onboard

Spring Airlines, the Shanghai-based budget carrier, is poised to include passenger cars in its in-flight shopping catalogue alongside the perfumes and watches, as it cashes in on well-paid frequent travellers. However, selling cars at 38,000 feet is another thing altogether. The toughest problem being encountered by Spring is how to train its 500-plus cabin crew to become familiar with the different models so that they can promote and sell the cars in a professional manner.
