As we've been doing every Thursday for the past few weeks, today brings another update to our our airport WiFi mashup, thanks to our well-traveled tipsters.
But there's trouble in Ohio, says one Jaunted reader:
DAY [Dayton International] does censor some pretty bland websites.
Uh-oh: Three is a trend!

It sounds like a dangerous thing for most airlines: a website that proudly publishes the punctuality data for flights across the UK. Now, if you're friendly ol' bmi Regional, that's no big deal, because the airline just won the award as the most punctual from January to September 2007. (Number-crunchers are obviously still on vacation so haven't caught up to year-end yet).
Being punctual means that 91 percent of bmi Regional flights took off within 15 minutes of the planned departure time, and in fact their average delays across all their flights was just 6 minutes. We just wish they flew on the routes we wanted to take, like, all across the world.
If you're flying in and out of Britain you can check the Flightontime.info website which collates all the Civil Aviation Authority statistics on delays and punctuality. You can also find out which airports will give you an easier run, and you might be surprised to learn that Heathrow Airport wasn't the one with the biggest delays. It was narrowly beaten by Gatwick where you can bank on your flight departing, on average, 20.23 minutes late. At Heathrow, it's around 19 minutes, but to make up for it, they'll probably lose your luggage.

We're in disbelief: two celebs, running through two airports this weekend, and it's not Lindsay Lohan who's getting in trouble. Instead, Irish heartthrob Jonathan Rhys Meyers had the run-in with cops, being charged with public drunkenness at Dublin International Airport.
The Tudors star was visiting Dublin for a TV appearance and was scheduled to fly to London on BMI before police detained him. Apparently telling gate agents "I will get on this flight, no matter what" doesn't always work--even if you've co-starred with Scarlett Johansson.
