In coach, there's no room to even open-up a laptop and on LH there's no juice either
2 batteries + lightweight laptop + wireless will give me 4-6 hours if you don't tax the laptop's processing power... getting 4 hours of e-mail done on the plane would be well worth any reasonable fee that they implement for it.
Add in the plane cell-phone usage that CNN reported is in the works, and my non-productive flights just became moderately productive.
