Wi-fi in the Sky
I once touted wireless high-speed Internet on trains as a great differentiator between trains and planes, especially for routes like the DC-NYC-Boston corridor. Airlines are no dummies, however, and see a great opportunity when it arrives. SAS, Lufthansa, and JAL are beginning to offer high-speed wireless internet to passengers and, by 2006, U.S. domestic airlines are expected to do the same.

For the common passenger, it makes a lot more sense on Amtrak. I'd love to surf the web while travelling to Europe, but I never have enough room in my seat for it.
I would shell out the extra $50 or for a roundtrip Lufthansa ticket if it came with free/non-exorbitant WiFi. Munich/Frankfurt to DC/Dallas is a long, long flight.
