Hi folks,
I was on a flight that had an onflight wifi. It was expensive though. I
paied five dollars for fifteen minutes. It was enough for me to check my
email and send a quick iMessage telling my friends that my flight is late.
In any case, it is becoming more common to have an on flight wifi in
domestic travel, because it is another way for airlines to make extra money.
Having said that, It is almost impossible to find international flights that
has on flight wifi because while flying overland, the planes would use the
current infrastructures, ie, the existing towers. While flying over oceans
and large distances of water, they need to go through a sateleite
connection and that requires a lot more modification and equipments. I
would not be surprised if international flight carriers begin to offer on
flight wifi, because it is in these long trips that people would more likely
be willing to pay expensive fees for using the internet.
Cheers,
Cris

Subject: In-flight Wi-Fi, was: Airplane Mode
I wonder just how many flights actually have in-flight WiFi at this point. I
was on 7 individual flights in the States in the last year and not a single
one of them had in-flight WiFi. If this is representative I guess this is
not all that common yet. And I really want to be on one that does have it so
I can call a friend over in Germany with Skype and say that I am calling
from inside an airplane *smile*
Regards,
Sieghard

And if the airplane has in-flight Wi-Fi, you can also turn on Wi-Fi
and listen to music that way.

True, you could listen to music stored locally on your device. You
could work with any data stored locally.

Oh, ok, I see.
You could listen to music or something like that though?

Air plane mode turns off all of the radios on your iPhone, wifi,
