Airlines get all figgidy about having electronics or cell phones because it interferes with the plane's electronics (or something like that). Now, they are willing to throw in wifi? Is this safe? Because, you know, we need safety to be first. I don't think we want to update our Facebook status or Twitter with, "we are going down, something about some interruption with the plane's electronic system -- love you mom, oh and you too Pebbles (dog)" I don’t get it.

It's a tiered pricing plan starting at $7.95 and going up to $12.95. It sounded like it depends on if it's a mobile device and the length of the flight.
