Want to be the first to be allowed to use
your phone in flight? Then you will want to fly Air France.
Breaking Travel News reports that they will take
delivery in early 2007 of the first Airbus A318 with the On Air GSM equipment which lets you use your cell phone or
BlackBerry during flight. Air France will use the aircraft during a six-month trial of the new service testing it out
on short flights within Europe and North Africa. As much as it will be convenient, I think I will mourn the days of the
phone-free flight.
