It allows me to ignore the person sitting next to me, known or stranger by pretending to do serious work 🙂
Wi-fi makes coach slightly more tolerable. Some drinks would help with that too!
It is really nice to be able to communicate with others while you are in flight if you are meeting up with them at a midpoint or final destination and they are starting from a different location than you are. Thanks MJ
I haven’t had the opportunity to try inflight GoGo. I’d love to have the opportunit!
inflight Wifi lets me check my emails so that I would not miss any information while MR
I’m so much more productive when I’m able to get online while flying.
It makes the last segment, of long day’s travel, shorter.
Thanks.
Wifi in the air let’s me hack into other devices on the same network. j/k. 😉
Gogo reduces my ability to escape work.
I think that the ability to stay on top of work while flying is the best part of in flight wifi.
In flight wifi would allow me to do some inflight blogging! 😀
Gives me oppoturnity to post all my pictures online from travels
Gogo allows me to research restaurants/activities/hotels at the destination city when I take spur of the moment trips.
Would save me $14 so fingers crossed!
Great to not have all the emails all piled up when you land and nice for IFE.
Gogo keeps me in touch when I need to be and entertained when I want to be.
I love being able to use my iPad in the air!

Keeping in touch – for work and for pleasure
What wifi? I fly United.
Keep on top of the news.
Wifi….the only way to fly! Love staying connected with no interruptions.
No more resting, keep on working!
Allows me to not be forced to talk with my girlfriend the entire trip.
Having wifi allows me to post to Facebook about the smelly guy in 7b.
Wifi allows me to rest on the weekends and do more work on the way to my meeting.
Allowed me to find one of the few seats left on a connecting flight and notify the person picking me up of my new arrival time when a storm delayed our departure even though we left the gate on time. Really reduced the stress factor for me.
It allows me to either work or read blogs (like yours)
Work normally only on legs >1 1/2 hours airtime otherwise I’ll don’t get out my laptop
I’m not slammed with e-mail when I land.
Makes cramped in coach flights a little more tolerable.

In-flight Wi-Fi sure makes time fly!
Wifi totally keeps me in contact for work. Things change hour by hour. I don’t have to worry about missing out.
In-flight WiFi has totally changed my productivity. Flights are no longer blackholes, but in fact some of the most productive work time I have. Plus, it lets me keep better track of my current flight, and any connection I’m making.
Less boredom on long flights
It allows my kids to “stay connected” ensuring a pleasant flight!
As an online professor, healthcare consultant and self-professed miles and points junkie (else I wouldn’t be posting to this blog), I live and die by the Internet and on transcontinental flights (read “mileage runs”), having access to GoGo is an absolute lifesaver.
Instead of looking at the non-cloud work content I used to distract myself with (spreadsheets, powerpoints, downloaded e-mails), I can kick back and relax a little – read blogs, check out facebook/instagram, and of course check any late-breaking e-mails from my colleagues.
In flight wifi makes it incredibly easy to be productive while flying!
Email all the time.
Having Internet access while flying is a blessing and a curse. Flying was formerly the only place where I could disconnect and catch up on reading, watching a movie, or some other neglected relaxation.
Being able to get work done in the air helps free up time when I get on the ground, so depending on the circumstances I will use GoGo from time to time.
Being stuck on a plane finally affords me a chance to not feel guilty for spending hours aimlessly surfing the net!
It would be so cool to be able to Google and solve the argument between my husband and I, while in the air, instead if waiting until we land 🙂
Allows me to at least pretend t be productive inflight…..
I’m inflight right now & WiFi is allowing me to comment here to enter your contest.

Haven’t used it yet as I have always fallen asleep before takeoff but would love to be able to catch up the news on the ground while I’m in the air!
Free in flight wifi would let me better track the last minute cruise prices to see if my last minute cruise has any chance of becoming a B2B cruise.
Being able to keep up with email and other work in the air gives me more free time on the ground.
I use it to feed my Pinterest addiction.

Because how else could i Post Instagram pics from 30,000 feet, and be the envy of everyone 😉
I can stream nfl games. Life is good!
Since I fly mostly on Delta, I’ve almost come to expect WiFI on all of my flights. I use it to catch up on the news, as well as to IM friends.
Inflight wifi has allowed me to go for connections for more EQM rather than direct. More time in the air, but more enjoyable. Thank you for the contest.
I enjoy that I can access some things but I really miss the days of being disconnected.
With the inflight wifi I stay focused on my cell phone but not annoy my companion or play around with my seat.
In flight wifi seems to make the plane go twice as fast
Infinite IFE!

I like inflight Wi-Fi because it allows me to track the progress of the flight.
No more inflight boredom.
I can keep tabs on remainder of my travel plans and kep in touch with my family to make sure they’re aware if I’m delayed.
It allows me to see if there are any last minutes changes going on at my destination.
I generally don’t have the focus of attention span to do lots of work on my laptop in flight (especially since there is no room to spread out in coach). I do, however, really like using GoGo to connect to my work email and clean out and move messages within my inbox – it makes me much more productive and organized after an hour or two of on board maintenance.

Helps me look up things to do while in route when I run out of time to research before my trip.
It keeps my fingers sore even when flying now. Previously they had a rest. It’s worth it though.
Even with so many entertainment options on board now, I still prefer connecting with friends & family over internet chatting. That’s only achievable with Wi Fi!
I can stay in touch with the office and not have hours of pure unproductiveness.
Gogo helps me stay in touch and catch up on work during flights.
they do make long flights seem significantly shorter… as long as you have the battery life or power on your seat 🙂
No more inflight boredom!
In-flight Wi-Fi has made it possible for me to keep reacting and responding to e-mail from customers and colleagues while on the plane. I no longer face a huge inbox upon landing from hours disconnected.
It hasn’t changed the way I fly, but it might if I win this prize. Next flight scheduled 31st October out of TPA.
In-flight wifi lets me track my flights progress on FlightAware, even on planes without personal IFE screens, which helps dissolve a lot of the anxiety about flying for me.
Inflight wifi has changed the way I fly because now I don’t have to read a book.

I no longer need to sleep on flights as I have something to keep me busy
In-flight wifi had made it so that I can work while I am on the plane with no interruptions!
Because you want to check out your arrival gate, departure gate,next flight, etc. to ensure you know where you are going and if things are on time.
In flight WI-FI allows me to read boarding area blogs on the plane.
