I'll be flying at the time of the game. My flight has WiFi but will they have the NFL network to watch on my laptop?

I've tried and failed at this before. I was on a delta flight and was able to view it on JustinTV, but as soon as everyone else hopped on the wifi I couldn't get a picture.

Interesting....they're advertising "free" wifi. I just don't want to bring my laptop if it won't work. One less thing to carry.

Every flight I've been on has always had that "GoGo" (or whatever the hell it's called) service. If your flight is really light the service is decent. If you have a full flight, pulling up ESPN may take 5 minutes. Ole dialup days.

That was as of this summer though on a flight to Vegas. Maybe some airlines are better than others?

On southwest, the free TV is FREE. Of you want to access the web, you have to pay, but the live tv is free. And as of yesterday southwest offers gate to gate tv and Internet, meaning if you have a tablet or iPhone you don't need to turn it off at all. Your laptop will need to be stowed for takeoff and landing though.

I paid $8 and watched Bama kicks LSU's arse on my Ipad. I watched it through my Dish network account but they do offer NFL Network so you should be able to do it.

ETA: is was a Southwest flight.
