More and more planes are offering wifi these days! I usually don't pay for wifi though... unless I have something urgent going on at work, and need to be online for that.
Do you pay for wifi when you're traveling on a plane?

No, I'm online all day so I like the opportunity to unplug and read a book or magazine.

sometimes they offer a free hour if you take a survey or sign up for an email

Nope, I'm too cheap. Then again, I've haven't been on a long plane ride. If I were stuck on a plane for over 8 hours... maybe.

No; we preload lO's iPad with games and movies/content we don't need wifi for. I don't have enough free time on a plane to use wifi - I'd rather sleep if possible!!!

No, before LO, I enjoyed the unplugged time and read. Now, I'm typically taking care/entertaining her.

Yup, I've done it a few times, but only because I was on a work trip and could expense it.
If I'm flying a lot that month, I'll pay for the unlimited monthly pass.
Note to anyone who uses it. It's not the best idea if you don't have access to an outlet. Using wifi on your phone or laptop uses a lot of battery life! I paid for daily unlimited use for work one time and my laptop battery died within an hour. Plane wifi FAIL!! And work productivity fail! One day we'll have outlets at our seats! I think Virgin Air has USB ports which is nice!

No I wouldn't. I make sure I fill my phone full of TV shows and bring my 3DS and Kindle.

@bluestriped bee: If someone else was paying for it, I would do it too!
Otherwise I'm too cheap, it's only a few hours!

No. I can manage a few hours without Internet. I love to read on planes.

No, also too cheap! Plus, lately I have to wrangle a crazy baby, so no time for leisurely internet browsing

Nope. We never purchase anything from the airlines-- they charge way too much!

Nope! I like being off the grid for a bit while riding planes. It gives me a chance to catch up on my reading! I'm also great about sleeping on planes... !

Nope! Unless DH has a monthly pass from work which he usually does.

No. I just take a nap if possible. I rarely fly though, but if I did for business, I'd probably pay for wifi.
