As airlines scramble to offer in-flight wireless high-speed Internet coverage, you might want to consider the most productive and least offensive ways to use it within the confines of your seat.

Jackie Yeaney, chief marketing officer for communications technology company Premiere Global Services, offers these tips:

 • Consider investing in a privacy filter to block a side view of your computer screen. They’re affordable and easy to use – just snap one on.

 • Use your computer, and your computer alone. Avoid scattering paperwork and encroaching on your neighbor’s area.

 • Wear headphones or turn the volume off so the other passengers won’t have to hear e-mail pings or Windows-themed acoustics during their flight.

 • Be sure that you’re silently reading text to yourself, and not to others on board.
