I’ve always loved flying because it used to be one of the last mobile-free bastions. No cell service, no WiFi on the plane. Being forced to go without internet for hours on long-haul flights and just relax without constantly staring at my phone \u2013 that was incredibly slowing. However: When is it better to comfortably write (and send) emails or read blogs in peace than when you’re lounging around in your seat for 10 hours? <\/p>\n\n
Not all airlines offer WiFi on board, and not on all aircraft. And sometimes it’s quite expensive, but sometimes it’s free. So to shed some light, I’ve put together a list of airlines where you can get online on board. <\/p>\n\n
