British Airways announces limited in-flight cell use, let the parties commence

Posted in: london, Today's Chili

British Airways has announced they’ll start offering limited in-flight cell phone use on flights from London to JFK. Passengers will be allowed to send text messages and use data, but not to make actual calls (thankfully — because we all know how annoying that would be). Several other airlines have launched similar trials, including bmi and Qantas — which has announced they will allow usage for all passengers on domestic flights –while Dubai’s Emirates airline actually allows mobile voice calls on its domestic flights. The British Airways trials are set to start sometime this fall on its business-class only flights. Seriously, guys — can you make it any more clear that you can’t stand the sight of us proles?
