Dave -

I don;t now if this cheap trick qualifies for IP, but just in  
case.... I have been spending a long, time-zone-expanded day working  
happily 34,000 feet above ground on flight LH452 (Munich to LAX).   
The service I'm using is Connexion by Boeing, and after a frustrating  
time trying to sign up (but with help from LiveChat that *was*  
working), I ended up really liking it.  For an 11-hour flight, the  
$29.95 is well worth it.  But no, I hope people don't start using  
Skype in the air.....!

And in addition to working, resolving crises and making last-minute  
appointments, I have been posting some fairly stunning photos (she  
says modestly) of the views over Greenland: http://www.flickr.com/
