I loathe the idea of WiFi on planes because I still like that it is one place left in the world I cannot be expected to be reached.
However, I'm flying JFK-NRT in a few days and NRT-ORD mid-month so I can report back. Sitting window side facing north would be neat to post at least one Facebook photo of the snow and ice.

ANA has finally announced the start of their inflight wi-fi service on 777-300ER and 767-300ER aircraft with the relevant logo. Service will be provided by OnAir.

However, prices will not be cheap:

Might as well make that 5mb spread to as many places as possible (and I'll be doing NRT - IAD in 6 weeks so we'll see if they have it (though unlikely since it's switching back to a 772 by the time I fly)

5mb for $6 is what one picture? For maximum benefit you should make it an instagram that is shared simultaneously on Twitter and FB Might as well make that 5mb spread to as many places as possible (and I'll be doing NRT - IAD in 6 weeks so we'll see if they have it (though unlikely since it's switching back to a 772 by the time I fly)

They have got to be joking on the prices. Look at bit at their alliances partners, TK free of charge. My last flight on UA (SFO MEX) flat rate USD8.99 for the entire flight. Unless there is a work "emergency", they should not expect to find me among their customers for WiFi...

Is the OnAir service generally considered superior to the cheaper options such as that which is available on international UA flights?

My experience on UA (and on TK) is quite positive, good speed and good stability. So I would not be willing to pay extra for a "better" connection.

Also what are the wifi status of the 787's? Flew JA801A recently on a domestic (loved it, even more so for the first 787 in service) and there was a protected wifi network with the aircraft registration on it... Did see some sort of satcom/wifi logo on the outside, so wondering what that is all about...
I still don't see any mention of in-flight wifi on 787's...

I imagine that the approval process for the 767s/777s was underway with MLIT and the JAA before NH took delivery of their 787s.

Boeing didn't have a solution to add antenna for the 788 since the fuselage was made with composite. That's why it wasn't on the plan initially. Boeing only solved the problem last year if I recall correctly.
