I think the reality of allowing internet on flights is something that is long overdue. The price ($12.95) seems pretty fair for a long flight. If you just cut back and order two less vodka tonics during the flight you save up enough money to pay for it and you're more sober upon landing. I've been OK with watching movies on my laptop as an alternative (or doing work if I have to), but the idea of seeing a few flops in the air is intriguing. Would anyone actually pay for this service? Or do you enjoy the brief internet detox that air travel currently provides.

NO INTERNET/PHONE!! It is the ONE place in this universe I don't have to be working.
speaking as one who travels 150,000 miles a year in the air, i hope to get work done in the friendly skies and do less at home
plus, i plan on inventing the site virtualmilehighclub.com and become filthy rich
I've paid $10 for an hour of internet at the airport. Of course I will pay the same for 5 hours of internet on the way to Vegas. And yes, flops in the air sounds exciting.
