Neeranam Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible? Thai airlines to Australia. Edited March 23, 2008 by Neeranam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_r Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think the technology exists already, but pretty expensive for the airline to implement. Alternatively, if Emirates allows the use of mobile phones, in theory these could also be used for an internet connection. But the speed may be slow.

dekka007 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Boeing's Connexion company closed its doors about 2 years ago if I recall. It was actually a very good system and worked very well. I used it on lufthansa and sas a few years ago. Certainly made the time fly on 13 hour sectors. Sadly it is still to be replaced with another system and provider so your out of luck as far as I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnake Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Can be done and will be done in the near future for sure, it will be a big big PLUS on long haul flights(BKK to LA) Yeah!! Bring it Thai air ways best first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technocracy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Internet on Thai Airways . . . your lucky get movies on demand! Flown Malaysia Airlines for the first time last week on a long haul sector - there entertainment setup is basically the same as Singapore Airlines, very good! I don't think Thai has even got personal screens in Economy across the fleet yet! Edit: Oh I should just add I flew BKK-SYD last Sept in Business Class and there was no Internet available.

siam2007 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I just sent my first emails through the EMIRATES-inflight-system while in the air a few days ago..... but each email was restricted to 160 characters and costed 1 US$ each...... and one email-address I misstyped so the Dollar was lost ..... but I got a lovely "delivery failure" message.... which I did not read, as it would have costed me another Dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
