Internet on airplanes.

Post by acidgambit »

Saw this news on global. Apparently AC is going to start putting internet on airplanes. Just following in on the footsteps of other airlines that already have wireless internet.

Currently only available on FIN 280 and 282 which are A319s. Just did a YYZ-LAX on one of the planes with it but the service was not available.

Great video. Coincidentally I was just told about Louis C.K. on my last pairing by the guy I was flying with. Funny stuff.
