technically no. but many international flights now have WiFi 802.11 service. i have tried to log on, but they use that webpage logon method.

if wireless was an issue i think this would not be possible.

A lot of international flight expressively forbade wireless devices,
i am not sure the reason.

To save ourselves from embarassment,
i suggest that we ask the crew before we turned on that DS.

@neogeocdz: playing DS in flight no problem... I does that all the time (once from KL to Siam Reap - 3hrs on TETRIS!!!  thumbup.gif )... but wireless... perhaps need to ask.  hmm.gif

Can i know what flight?
Must be careful when on those flight.....
Nowadays all airlines seems to have slightly different list of "forbidden items",
can be a headache when travel.

This was ages ago. if you look thru MAS in-flight stuff you may still see this on the list.

My say on the matter is such:
I think it more likely for a flock of geese to crash a plane than Wifi signals. That being said, if you wanna feel safe, ask the crew. If the plane has its own wifi network point , its a moot question to ask.

Yes, agree.
Just that to saves ourselves from embarassment -- ASK,

i was asked to switch off my DS on a Qantas domestic flight..... (With a smile on her face)
Man that was embarassing.... but well i assumed i was on MAS, so my bad.
