One practical use is talking to people you're on a flight with but not say next to. I can't say I'd be a regular user of that feature, but I do find myself on flights like that from time to time.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoIf you're all online anyway, wouldn't you already know how to reach those people?
- untog 9y ago"If you're all online anyway" is a reasonably sized caveat. I often don't bother buying in flight WiFi because you can't do all that much with it.

Satellite linking is only available on newer planes.) Whereas seat-to-seat chat is free and relatively reliable.
