American Airlines To Offer Wi-Fi In Planes
Firmafest writes "In USA Today there's a scoop that American Airlines will offer Wi-Fi on domestic flights. Price is approx. $10 to get connected. Being a frequent international flyer I hope this will catch on. The LA Times reports that the cost is about $100,000 to equip a plane. While that number seems high, it will probably be worth it. If I had a choice between two flights both equally good, I'd pick the Wi-Fi enabled one." The article also says that JetBlue and Southwest Airlines are at least experimenting with Wi-Fi access aboard, while Delta already offers it.
...we need the cash.
International waters/airspace, here I come!
if they'll call it "Wi-Fli"?
Sacred cows make the best burgers.
Yeah and thankfully they can't just store porn on their hard drives and look at it on the plane anyways without the internet. ...oh wait.
It's a good thing that the guy in 4a has absolutely no chance of having any porn on his laptop already, or one of the Playboy's they sell at the airport newsstand.
I read the internet for the articles.
because all the porn they sell at the airport news stand is so tastefully done...

Oh it doesn't stop there. Clearly you haven't taken a moment to browse the great selection they have.
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
You're a far more brave man than me if you attempt to get through US customs with your laptop.
There, fixed that for you.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave ze DDR?
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
No one on /. is American? I thought I was, but...
SIG FAULT: Post index out of bounds.
That's a hell of a long flight! Maybe you should take the train next time.
If I go up front and the pilot is a ham I'll be running for the parachutes not setting up electronics.
