    i know how to spell, it's an american laptop which makes everything americanised. You really shouldn't be a pedant if you're educated to the extent that you're correcting internationally accepted spellings of different words.

    No no, not being pedantic at all. Just making sure being in 'murica doesn't change you

    This article is from Feb 2011

    http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/norwegian-offers-free-in-flight-wifi
    Norwegian Air Shuttle has launched its first plane equipped with wifi internet, and the service will initially be available to all passengers free of charge.
    The carrier says it is the first airline to offer high-speed broadband on flights within Europe, although SAS will be hot on its heels with its own service due to launch in April

    Fly with them regularly, still free within Europe, not sure about transatlantic. Emirates have had WiFi on their long haul Fleet since 2011

    Have you taken or do you expect to be taking a shít on your flight. If so how do you feel about this ? If not what preparations did you take to avoid such a situation ?

    i flew aer lingus to new york 3 week ago and a couple of things i observed

    we got the same sugary stuff on the salad going over as op but plain salad coming back. dinner was fine both ways (i have flown transatlantic economy with numerous carriers and its the usual fare)

    the ondemand movie service is really good, i watched "the guard" (funny as hell) and the documentary on dublin vs meath in 1991

    no wifi on our plane as the flights from shannon are being leased from air contractors. i did pay for wifi on a southwest flight from newark to new orleans though. $8 for the trip (2.5 hours) and it worked well.

    I've never used the toilet on a plane. And I've taken around 30 flights in my lifetime. Always wee before and after landing.

    The turbulence always starts as soon as I go to the toilet.
