I spent this past week in California and found myself, like usual, hanging out at the airport. Even worse, I found myself really bored and disconnected during the actual flight. American Airlines tested its in-flight wi-fi this past Wednesday and plans to make it available in the next few weeks. Ridiculously good news for business travelers, I think. I just imagine being able to connect to a meeting while en route to the meeting when your flight is delayed, instead of missing it altogether. I don’t know all the logistics, and I’m guessing there are bandwidth limits, but just having that possibility is pretty awesome at this point. Can’t wait to see this on international flights – believe me, 20 hours over the ocean without email access can drive some people crazy.

I heard about American’s rolling this out soon on another blog. I can’t wait. Time flies while on the internet and can make those otherwise dreary flights literally fly by. Fly the friendly skies, or visit http://www.bentpage.worpdress.com, either one is a trip.
