We have had 'in-flight phoning' for a while now on a number of airlines. I have to admit I haven't seen any reports (good, bad, indifferent) on real experiences.
I have, however, continue to see lots of posts that paint this as 'a pretty bad thing', and 'hope I never have to experience it'.
It wasn't that long ago when most airlines had (very expensive) seat back phones. I recall even using one (Swissair flight into LHR diverting to LGW due to T1 Burger King fire. 12 December 1997). However they were so poorly taken up that the airlines ripped them out to save weight.
So, who out there has been on a flight with calling enabled and what were your experiences?
Thanks
