  • StigNordas, on 04/27/2009, -1/+17So, what's the porn policy on these airlines?
  • dmbftp, on 04/28/2009, -0/+11excuse me sir, why are you taking your laptop into the bathroom.
  • sodaman300, on 04/28/2009, -1/+10Internets in the sky.
    I can go twice as high.
  • strafefire, on 04/28/2009, -0/+7It appears that the lower cost air carriers are offering Wi-Fi for free, while their higher cost, possibly soon to be bailed-out brethren are charging for it...

    Things that make you go, hmmm....
  • Trickybunny, on 04/28/2009, -1/+8...and twitter finds a million more uninteresting tweets. However, this does of course open the door for the occasional (if tragic) "oh *****, plane is crashing!"
  • Klaatu14, on 04/28/2009, -0/+7I'd be happy to get on a plane that just has freakin' electrical outlets so I don't have to run everything off of battery power.
  • steger, on 04/28/2009, -0/+6take a look,
    on a netbook.
  • inigomntoya, on 04/28/2009, -0/+6That's disgusting. No one should love their iPod like that.
    Next thing you know, people will want to start marrying them.
  • pirategonzo, on 04/28/2009, -0/+6I am the fat sweaty guy and I will be surfing porn. 2 Tickets 1 Passenger.
  • allocate, on 04/27/2009, -1/+6Flying cross-country in an A320 next week. Fingers crossed for WiFi.
  • FredFredrickson, on 04/28/2009, -1/+6I guess it'd be good for entertainment, but usually when I'm getting on a plane, it means I'm going on some sort of vacation... and a vacation isn't fun without getting away from the internet and all this ***** for a while.
  • ihate2regist, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5apple fan boys take it to a new level
  • molochi, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4Hotels are like that too. The more expensive they are, the more likely they'll charge for internet.
  • ljdmd, on 04/27/2009, -1/+4Just what I need.
  • DLit, on 04/28/2009, -3/+6fap fap fap
  • inigomntoya, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3I would say that no policy exists until someone complains. At which point they will tell you to quit offending other passengers.
    But then it becomes THEIR problem for not filtering said content.
  • mikemehak, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3everything is great until someone hacks the cockpit and goes 9/11
  • shorterthanrich, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3A good point for vacationers, but a lot of people travel for work often. I actually fly twice a week for work right now, so on board internet could make a big difference in my day. Usually, though, the flight is a nice little break in between. A time by yourself, reserved for thinking, sleeping, and some good music. So your point still stands.

    Regardless, my coworkers and I find ourselves working from airports very often, as well as on the plane. Naturally we're very limited on the plane without the internet.

    When I travel during the week, a huge percentage of those I see traveling are doing so for business reasons. Some flights I am on are more than 1/2 consultants, federal employees, etc.

  • Fleagleman, on 04/28/2009, -0/+1Before you complain, just remember what Louis C,K. has to say about it.
  • spritom, on 04/28/2009, -0/+1I wonder if residents of Deadhorse, AK hop on an Alaska Airlines flight to check their Facebook.
