    Probably the same thing that happened to the Malaysian plane.

    Have you seen this episode?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,151 ✭✭✭Ben D Bus


    Do they let you watch pr0n on the wifi or is it all blocked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Whats CAT?

    Clear air turbulence.

    Unpleasant stuff over the mid-atlantic. Tie everything down!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo

    You wanna keep it crispy while keeping the breast medium, I would suggest hitting it with about 250C for 20 mins then lowering for 180 for about 45 mins

    It's capped at 1Mbps. Although haven't done speedtest, haven't tried youtube yet. Will try now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 67 ✭✭kinklee7

    With the consent use of Wi-Fi surely the battery in your selected device is not long for this world?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭digitalninja

    I would rather iron my nutsack whilst pouring sulphuric acid on my eyeballs than fly 11 hours.

    I am actually shocked at the price myself for the Wifi - Very reasonable

    Tickets for that route are fierce expensive.

    Work trip?

    haha yeah, i meant 20 and then 25 for total of 45. Thought you'd pick up on that, love a bit of duck, cheap at lidl too!

    Why aren't Aer Lingus marketing the **** out of this? Relatively cheap WiFi and power to keep you juiced. Would sway me if I was caught between two airlines, (unless of course they are all doing it)
