We’re already allowed to wirelessly surf the Internet while flying towards our next destination and it looks like in-flight cell phone use will be the next big thing. British Airways has announced that customers flying from London to JFK will be allowed to send text messages and go online from their cell phones. Actual phone calls aren’t allowed yet but that’s the direction we’re heading. The trial will start this fall on business-class only flights.

Other airlines also offer similar services. bmi and Quantas allow cell phone usage for domestic flights while the Emirates allow mobile voice calls on domestic flights.
