Other ideas in the contest sponsored by European plane maker AIRBUS include floating luggage on a bed of air for easy access and a jet running on passengers body heat.

I'd want my flight to be powered by pig-sourced methane. Might be a little safer, if you catch my drift.

Oh drat, my flight has been cancelled.
