I know it doesn't answer you question, but I know JL published an FCIF saying we could expense hotel internet access ...

Assuming you're referring to wifi that you purchase either at the airport or on an aircraft?

It's been 5-6 years but I remember expensing some airport wifi in Frankfurt without a problem. Never tried it on an aircraft. What would it hurt to try? Worst case it gets denied.

I think you could make a pretty strong argument if you needed it to bid, work on LMS, etc. and it was a long int'l DH. A few hours on an aircraft domestically might not pass but who knows. Maybe it was a same duty period domestic DH and the bid was about to close.

Short answer is Yes.

You must present a receipt, even if under $25 receipt requiement

There is also a daily limit to wifi. I think it is $25 as well

Kipper,
If you are talking about wifi on a dh flight, I had an RFO about 6 months ago that submitted it and it was rejected. Receipt and all. I personally haven't tried.

Yep,

That's what I was talking about - inflight Internet.

Thanks for letting me know about the rejections on the expenses.

It's about an 8 hour deadhead and I thought if covered, I would make use of the Internet. I'm too cheap to pay for it myself.

Thanks again.
