Meh, I always sleep during the entire duration of the flight. Even the 18 hour flight I made, although that one was drug assisted.

I'm glad cell phones are banned. I'd go postal and kill everyone and then myself if I had to listen to some 16 year old girl in the seat next to me talking on her phone for 6 hours.

beat me to it.


FYI AirTran's in flight is provided by GoGo (http://www.gogoinflight.com/)
not sure if AT&T owns them though (likely I'd guess)

Edit: Yeap... division/product of AirCell

I'm not aware of any US carrier that have power outlets for economy class seats.

If anyone is looking for flights to Asia though, Cathay Pacific has this. But, as far as I know, they do not provide Wifi yet.
