Has anyone tried this service? Does it work well? --T
******************** Looking for a Wi-Fi hot spot? Try 10,000 feet up (CNN) -- The days of being cut off from the Internet while you're on a plane are quickly disappearing. A number of domestic airlines have recently begun offering Wi-Fi Internet access aboard planes, and other airlines say they are working toward making it happen. "This is the year" for Wi-Fi on planes, said Jack Blumenstein, president and CEO of Aircell, whose Gogo® Inflight Internet service provides access on Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Virgin America flights, and will begin testing on United flights later this year. Gogo is installed on more than 190 commercial planes, and Blumenstein said he expected 1,200 aircraft to have Gogo capability by the end of 2009. For now, Wi-Fi on domestic carriers' planes is limited to flights within North America. Gogo, which operates by transmitting signals from ground-level towers, functions across the United States and up to about 300 miles offshore. The company's access will cover the entire continent within a year or two, Blumenstein said. Full Article |

With some airlines talking about charging to use the restroom, I wonder what that will cost? :-P

pay toilets are hard to crawl under.

I've heard of it, never used it. I'd have to wonder the same question Brad posed.

My... this thread has gone to hell in a handbasket.
As an aside, the dollars I have been hearing are about $12.95 for a LA-NYC flight. |
