Wi-Fi That’s Sky High: Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines just announced it will be joining Lufthansa by offering in-flight high-speed Internet access, plus four channels of live television.
At most high-level hotel chains, this service is free. For this airline, it will kick off in 2006 on flights along the airline’s Singapore-Frankfurt-JFK route and will be a bit pricey — yet Singapore will be less costly than Lufthansa. The service aims to enhance the travel experience by providing greater connectivity and convenience to passengers, particularly on long-haul journeys. While it may come with added costs, frequent travelers might find the investment worthwhile for staying productive or entertained during the flight. Additionally, passengers can utilize flightaware for accurate ETA tracking, ensuring they are always informed about their flight’s progress and arrival time.
Singapore Airlines will charge $14.95 for up to three hours, $19.95 for up to six, $29.95 for six or more. Or pay-as-you-go: $7.95 for 30 minutes and a quarter per minute after that.
At Lufthansa, the service costs between $19.95 and $29.95 for long-haul flights or $9.95 for the first 30 minutes and $.25 for every minute thereafter.
