In-flight wi-fi

[TripletDaddy]

If you are ever posting online using in-flight wi-fi connectivity, please stop by this thread and say hello. Also, please tell us the following about your flight:

departure city
arrival city
type of airplane (conveniently located in the emergency procedures pamphlet) wi-fi provider
Wireless Device
Meal and snack
Movie (if applicable)

You may check in with us more than once if your flight contains multiple segments.

My info:

Depart: Washington DC
Arrive: Salt Lake City
Airplane: Airbus 320
Provider: GoGo in-flight wi-fi.
Device: iPad
Meal: smoked turkey sandwich and cheese plate.
Snack: bottled water and Biscoff cinnamon cookies. These cookies are delish.
Movie: Crazy, Stupid, Love

I am sitting next to a very fidgety but kind older woman that is blowing her nose quite frequently. To give you an idea of her age, she opened her purse and took out what appeared to be those Brachs butterscotch candies that you can only buy at random grocery stores. Also, she offered me one, referring to it as a piece of "sucking candy." generally, I think I would be in favor of women approaching me offering me "sucking candy" but this time I politely passed. Her husband across the aisle took off his shoes and when I sat down in my seat I noticed some long strands of hair on the seat in front of me so basically I'm trying really hard not to throw up right now.

I need to know the airplane model. Just lean forward in your huge, cushy first class seat, grab the aircraft safety card and then let us know the model of the plane on which you are currently lounging.

You have 5 minutes to respond.

I'm too busy enjoying my grilled fish to be bothered w/ your demands and declarations.

That said - the lovely lady who keeps bringing everyone but me sinful beverages did just inform me that it's a 757 200. For whatever that's worth.

Winning.

Sheesh... you couldn't even get on a widebody for a transcontinental flight? Enjoy your grilled fish on that tiny bird!

My seat is all the widebody I need.


I'm just glad they keep middle class people like you in the back so I can enjoy my fine food and fine cookies in peace w/o inane banter about the type of plane we're flying in.

thanks for telling us you were coming. BWI or Dulles?

Does Triple not fly to National Reagan?

[pellegrino]

Does Triple not fly to National Reagan?

ah, yes. the airport everyone forgets about.

ah, yes. the airport everyone forgets about.

I forget about it unless I don't want a direct flight from L.A. There's only one direct flight from LAX to Reagan National, daily at 8:30 a.m. on Alaska Airlines.

I take Virgin America from L.A. to D.C. or N.Y., every time. It's a very pleasant way to fly. There's always in-flight wi-fi and a pleasant atmosphere, decent food options, lots of movies and TV. For $30 more you can get a Main Cabin Select seat, which gives plenty of extra legroom. The bulkhead seat also means plenty of laptop room. I love in-flight wi-fi.

I have been boycotting United for several years (surliest employees of any airline) but lately had a fairly decent experience. I took the redeye from San Diego to Dulles and it was not a horrible experience (I also had a first class seat, which helped). Still, United has inflight wi-fi on only a few of its planes (why am I not surprised?) and their planes are ooooold.

A friendly reminder....this thread is for people posting while using in flight wi-fi. It is not for people to share with us banalities about their previous flights. A bit of terrestrial-based repartee back and forth with the person that is in flight is acceptable, but I'm not interested in your war stories about previous flights you have taken than may or may not have offered in flight wi-fi.

Be advised.

Mods: Could we get an ip check on this posting?

I know Delta has in-flight wi-fi, and even Southwest is adding it to more and more flights. A partner of mine told me American has some now. Only Virgin has it on every flight, as far as I know.

EDIT: I won't be using in-flight wi-fi until next month, but my posts made during that flight will incorporate this one by reference. In the meantime, this is only a provisional post. I think that will bring me within the rules of this thread.
