GULLIVER shudders to learn that in-flight mobile-phone services are now available on 20 Ryanair planes. Other European airlines such as bmi and Air France-KLM have trialled the technology on single craft, but Ryanair is the first to provide mobile connections on so wide a scale. Within six months 50 planes will be kitted out. If it proves popular, the service will be rolled out across the whole 170-strong fleet.

Apart from the most annoying behaviour of people shouting into their phones aside, as a side point there is a nice little gadget that i found here although I guess using that on a plane would defiantly cause some issues. I digress yes the annoying behaviour part aside this does solve an problem in i-Travel of what to do when people are not connected when say flying, at least now they will be able to opt into having information pushed to them while flying.
So when you are stuck in the air flying around in circle because of snow, rain and wind below i-Travel will be able to rebook your flights with out any problems!
