Lufthansa to put Wi-Fi in the sky

"Lufthansa plans to unveil Wi-Fi on May 17 on non-stop flights between Munich and Los Angeles. It becomes the first commercial user of a Boeing broadband system that's been four years in the making," reports USA Today.

"The satellite-based system will be installed on the airline's entire 74-plane wide-body fleet over the next year. Passengers with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops will be able to buy access with credit cards. Cost to passengers: $30 for the full flight, or $10 for 30 minutes."
