    Idle curiosity. Always wished theyd put them on the airlines I fly with. But then again, i havent flown any decent airlines.

    Be thankful you're not flying BA - they've only just embraced hot drinks on the 747s. A cup of tea at altitude? Luxury! In all seriousness, the 747s that BA operate on LHR-CPT are LITERALLY falling apart. The crew were so embarassed about it last time I flew but what can they do?

    You will never get really hot water on an aircraft. They are pressured to an altitude of about 7000ft
    So the boiling point is a lot lower.

    Forgot the plane but I flew across the Atlantic a few months ago and it had wifi, using the app I was able to watch in flight entertainment through the app on my phone, which is a much better screen than on the plane which makes it nicer.  Online wasn't that expensive either, I think it was like £7/$10 for the duration of the flight.

    Many people have parted Sambo's curtains. Very few do it twice.

    Not being funny or anything, shouldn't you be concentrating on flying the fucking thing rather than dicking about on here?

    It's very clever, but I really don't want wifi on planes as all it will mean is work will get extended into travel time even more than it already is.

    BA are fucking terrible but management still think they're great. It's not a good combination.
