American Airlines adopts Wi-Fi provider
In-flight Wi-Fi is all the rage these days, with everyone from Lufthansa to Qantas jumping on the bandwagon. The problem is that American carriers have been slow to adopt the technology, leaving us suspended in mid-air with nary a Wi-Fi signal to be found. Never fear, though, as American Airlines has stepped up to the plate. The iconic American airline has partnered with AirCell to bring Wi-Fi to its passengers. AirCell will be equipping AA’s fleet of 767-200s sometime next year, most of which are destined for transcontinental travel, with domestic aircraft following suit shortly thereafter. Prices, as expected, will not be announced until the service formally launches, but don’t expect this relative luxury to come cheaply.
First!!!!! Can’t wait for wifi in usa airplanes
cours they won’t tell you that al the eropean/ estern compays have this in an attemt to asume your stupid and gauge you. heck i supised it’s no standerd on domestice helps out air marshals an inteligence opratives
man gal you just went back to second grade level typing again.
I would be up for it if its like $30 for int’l flight. I would love to be able to read BG while flying to Paris.
How about Voip? that would be good too i guess.
@ Galv – What happened bro? Where you at a Apple store using a iPhone the past couple of days now your back to your Blackberry? That typing is just unbelievable…
no the laptop touch pad is a bit sensitive and for som reson postions the cursor @ the beginging of the promt instead of wraping.
another reson why touch screens are bad lol
btw i do 17 wpm too an reaer ringsize 15 IE i have really big fingers
Will be good when we need voip, if allowed? Now for data this will be useful for only a select few so might not be too excited.
course it wil be wer thers IP thers VoIP
This is going to be awesome! Happy to see Lufthansa is going to have wi-fi, when I fly to Europe, I am going to love it! My next trip is hopefully going to be soon because I want to take advantage of their fare sale pricing right now, wish the wi-fi was going to be there, but it will still be a great flight!!!
It should be Qantas not Quantas
are we still going have to shut everything off?? cause I guess it is really bad for the…instruments. right??
I find it hard to believe that airborne WiFi is “all the rage” since Boeing shut down their Connexion service last year.
Also, the carrier’s name is Qantas.
Except for the fact that they are charging insane (or will be) amounts of money to use this it’s pretty freaking sweet.
exacly jeff b as for the insturments issue that has already been proven on mythbusters and has been BUSTED
I know… that’s why I said it like that…
