I've found that the best way to fly is with earplugs. No crying babies, drunk assholes or loud headphones bug me, plus I don't have to have conversations with people. It makes it a bit hard when ordering drinks, but I highly recommend them. Airplanes are completely full of noise pollution, causing irritability.
Basically, I don't have a problem with airlines offering services such as the one described. I doubt I would ever take advantage, though, unless flying to Japan. I generally try to avoid my computer when not having to actually work on it. It always seems odd to me when people pull out their computers on airplanes...isn't a little forced downtime nice? It's not like your boss can tell you are working, and will approve.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I was on a flight recently where someone actually smoked in the restroom! I honestly couldn't believe someone could be that stupid.
