Atlanta — Delta Air Lines plans to block inappropriate Web sites from its in-flight Wi-Fi service to be launched later this year.

But after feedback from customers and attendants, the airline changed its policy and is working with Wi-Fi provider Aircell to use a system to block inappropriate content. Personally I think they missed an opportunity for revenue by selling 'porno tents' or renting blankets to hide such passenger activity. |

So far this year, nearly 65,000 flights so have been canceled, almost as many as in all of 2007, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Travelers should be ready to be even more flexible as airlines carve chunks out of their schedules later this year. |
