    Not yet, a few airlines like Singapore and Lufthansa offered internet a couple of years ago, it was called Conexxion by Boeing but was discontinued at the end of 2006. Some time in 2008, Alaska and American Airlines will introduce wi-fi on many of their flights and it's predicted that by the end of the year many more airlines will be offering internet access.

    Well, you CAN...if you're on an aircraft equipped with inflight wireless internet.

    JetBlue in the USA is testing the system right now on select flights and I believe German airline Lufthansa offers inflight Wi-Fi.

    Southwest and American Airlines in the USA have expressed interest in the system and are looking to install it in their aircraft soon.

    If you are relying on a connection from a card supplied by your wireless company, you will likely not get a connection at altitude.

    My coverage is to easily no longer deliver a workstation with me. in any different case customs would grab or seek the laptop. In uncommon circumstances this would take place even on kin flights. looking porn on the laptop is the least of your concerns. id robbery is a plenty extra beneficial concern, alongside with robbery of application and exclusive suggestion. the only thank you to be thoroughly risk-free is to no longer have a working laptop or laptop with you in any respect. an determination is to have a workstation which you utilize in simple terms for shuttle, with no longer something exclusive on it in the 1st place. no remember if it is seized, searched, or copied, although, you nevertheless would desire to rigidity approximately viruses, keyloggers, etc., once you get the laptop lower back, so it is relatively useful to wipe it and reinstall if any of those issues take place.

    No. By law, all wireless capabilities of your laptop must be turned off while on the aircraft. No wireless, no bluetooth.

    You can use your laptop for anything else.

    No.

    You can use outlook or another email client and compose and "send" the email but it will sit in your outbox until you are connected.
