Posting from 30,000 Ft.

[marcski]

We've had the "posting from the throne" threads...have ever had one of these? Gotta love AirTran and the free Wi-Fi. We are taking the girls down to Florida to visit my Mom for a few days. Also I LOVE Westchester County Airport. We were literally out of my door, checked in, through security and onto the plane with the plane locked and taxiing (sp??) in literally 60 mins.

I love working on a plane....

I was watching baseball on a plane the other day... I can make quick and quiet SKYPE calls...

That's pretty slick. We were down in Orlando two weeks ago. I checked the wifi on the plane via the BlackBerry. $17 for a just under two hour flight seemed a bit steep. Luckily, I had downloaded a few podcasts to pass the time.

Ick. $17 for 2 hours? Don't need the internet that badly while flying.

Have fun, marcski!

My work pays for it.. I go to the west coast a couple times a month... So coming home.. It's a good use of time in an otherwise wasted day..

You should go into the bathroom and post.

Thanks, should be fun...beach, take the girls to some butterfly exhibit, strawberry picking, the pool of course. Plus, whenever I come down here, I rent a road bike and take a nice bike ride along AIA usually up through Palm Beach to the Singer Island Inlet.

Now that would be impressive...posting from the throne at 30,000 feet!

Depends on the people and you'll need a smart phone. Take some pics while you are at it ...

I was about to add the obligatory: "this thread is worthless without photos." :lol:

 

[marcski]

Yes, and my 4 and 7 y.o.'s will do just fine leaving them in their airplane seats while mommy and daddy go to the bathroom together! We wouldn't arouse too much suspicion...

You typed all of that with an iTouch? You're my hero! I'll use it for short emails/messages, but it's too little to comfortably type much more than that, IMHO. At least, for me. But you scored free wi-fi? So, seasoned travelers, what's the difference? When do you get free and when do you have to pay? I know that in the airport in Minneapolis and Denver 2 years ago, I was able to use free wi-fi, but I'm seeing places like Miami charge for their wi-fi. :-? Or maybe that was 2 years ago, and now they all try to capitalize on it now?

Denver does not have free WiFi.
