Stay in contact with your family or office on Scandinavian Airlines
long-haul flights

Effective March 2005, Scandinavian Airlines will be the first airline in
the world to be able to offer its passengers the possibility to connect
to the Internet onboard using wireless broadband on all of the airline's
long-haul aircraft.

This possibility is already available on two Airbus 340 aircraft that
serve Scandinavian Airlines intercontinental destinations and as of
mid-February it will be available on all flights to Asia and Seattle.

The service, SAS Net Access, is available throughout the cabin and is
provided by the company Connexion by Boeing. The cost is USD 29.95 for
an entire flight or USD 9.95 for 30 minutes plus 25 cents for each
additional minute. Members of SAS EuroBonus can pay for the service
using points, but it is also possible to use most credit cards.

Since the connection is wireless, it requires that the computer being
connected has a network card that enables wireless connections (WLAN)
and which supports as a minimum the standards 802.11a, b or g.

Those who connect to their company's internal networks using VPN
(Virtual Private Network) will be able to do so onboard.
PC power outlets are already available for passengers traveling in
Business Class and Economy Flex.

"We want to be able to offer our customers choices for their journeys.
The customer must have the possibility to use the time on board for such
activities as working, stay in contact with friends and family or
relaxing. When new technology enables it, it is our ambition to be one
of the first to meet the customer's needs," says Lars Lindgren, Head of
Scandinavian Airlines International.

Nice! 30 dollar er ingen dårlig pris når man tenker på hvor lange og kjedelige de flightene er, og hvor mye nyttig man kan få gjort når man er oppkoblet på nettet....det gjelder bare å ha med seg et par ekstra batterier til laptopen

Ikke lenge før dem kaster ut stuerne fra cocpit og flyr hele greia. Det hadde vært forsidestoff i VG

Må ikke glemme ZX 81 (eller var det Spectrum, eller begge deler)...Gode, fine gummitaster, mye internminne og godt med lagringskapasitet....

Når vi første er inne på gamle maskiner ombord, jeg har en gammel Atari STFM stående... Eller så kanskje jeg skal skaffe meg en laptop.

Nå kommer det vel en haug med motsvar... Men SAS har vært tidlig ute med mye opp igjennom historien. Nå fortsetter de i riktig retning. De var jo først med mat på økonomiklasse blant annet...og blant de første til å fjerne den...ikke fullt så bra!

SAS har vært først med mange produkter, og dette føyer seg fint i deres rekke i så måte.
