even on a 15 hour flight??

Who offers internet on planes? Obviously we travel with the wrong people. JAL doesn't have it in first class. We're leaving for Internext tomorrow and we'll be decidedly unconnected.

Anyone tried Emirates? I've heard they are quite upmarket.

browsing the web when your flying looks nice. better then just looking at all the clouds coming by

Enjoying your flight??? WTF are you talking about. Flying is a pain its crowded and there is nothing to do other than watch television .

I kill myself for 2 days before long haul....by the time i get on the flight im exhausted and can now sleep all the way to bangkok almost -11 hour flight! Just read a bit first then wake for the 2 meals.

and you know how those Yahoo users love ImLive.com?

live webcam on planes

**adamneve** · 07-30-2005, 07:53 AM

it's a matter of time, soon most of the airlines will have surfing from your seat for like an extra $50 a flight and then people will be queit on the planes

**Doctor Dre** · 07-30-2005, 08:13 AM

I think it's a good idea that they provide internet access in the planes ... business mans would loveeeee that (webmasters too)

**BRISK** · 07-30-2005, 08:37 AM

Sounds like bad news to me

Why the fuck do I want anyone else to choose an exclusive search engine for me?

People just want internet access on planes, they don't want to be forced to do all their searches through yahoo or through the "Boeing air portal"

Sounds like they're trying to make it a dumbed down version of the internet like AOL

I just want to plug in my computer and have normal net access.

Well no offense but all long distance flights I've been on has closed the shutters so people could rest without getting blinded by the sun. So that leaves you pretty much with the tv and those sweaty folks sitting next to you.

And yeah I'm a cheapo so I don't fly first class.

Spoken like someone who has only ever flown coach

They do have first/business classes you know, you might want to try it, you'll probably like it, i know we do

Regards,

Lee

well i've only flown within the US and hawaii, and i've never seen internet on a plane i've been on, but i'd use it, if it was in-seat (EDIT) and I was flying first class so some nosy fuck couldnt see what I was doing

**Maureenoz** · 07-31-2005, 09:01 PM

I LIED! JAL has wireless broadband and here I am!! This is so cool. I've got a 13 hour flight from Tokyo to New York and I'm icq'ing and surfing and it's very good.

I don't know if it's all over the plane, I would assume so, but it's definitely in first class. It's $30 for the entire flight.

Time for lunch!

See you all at Internext.
