American launches in-flight Internet on 3 routes

Posted on | August 20, 2008 |

This is cool, I just hope that it wouldn’t cost a leg and an arm. I would prefer surfing the web rather than reading mags in the plane plus when the fight is 3 to 12 hours, geezz, for sure you will try to look for alternative than can keep you busy.

One of the few remaining Internet-free havens vanished Wednesday as American Airlines launched airborne e-mail, Web and other online services on some of its longer, nonstop flights.

The move could create a new stream of revenue for an aviation industry facing high fuel prices and other challenges. But it also could create new headaches as passengers retrieve sensitive e-mails and Web sites in confined quarters.

It also could end a common excuse people have to avoid checking “urgent” e-mail requests from their bosses. Unread magazines and books could now pile up as passengers devote their time aloft to electronic browsing.
