Just came across this in today's Sunday Telegraph, Virgin Atlantic came second :)

There's also an interesting article about Air France becoming the first airline to use OnAir, an inflight system that allows mobile phones to be used on board during flights.

Has AF actually implemented OnAir yet? I do remember hearing that they were going to test it. Does anyone know the status of that?

I know LH offers WiFi on some of their long haul services, and I believe they're one of the only ones to do that, correct?

C'Mon VS... time to re-innovate the market again... put both in ;)

Singapore airlines has inflight online web connection via Wifi. Approx US$30 for the entire flight I believe or you can pay for smaller set hours. Believe you can use this to access web voice phone.

The average time for most people is probably a lot less than an hour a week - it's just us that keeps the average so high!;)

Cheers,

WiFi yes, phones resolutely not!
