One less reason to be bored on your flight...

Being a constant traveler and spending a lot of time on airplanes flying to and from Europe, I found this news very interesting.

The next couple of months, airlines will be testing internet service on their planes. That means that you can log onto the internet on your phone, lap top, or any other device that can be used to connect to the web.

"JetBlue Airways will begin offering a free e-mail and instant messaging service on one of its planes, while American Airlines, Virgin America and Alaska Airlines plan to offer broader Web access in coming months, probably at a cost around $10 a flight."

Apparently, you can log on when you are in the air but can't during takeoff or landing.

Something that was brought up as an issue on the news the other day was if the person next you is searching some "racy" sites...or if they are on their phone and talking on and on and on. I am guessing that connection could be pretty slow but I guess it can just give you another thing to do while in the air.
