These five airlines give you free in-flight Internet

-
In-flight Internet is virtually ubiquitous these days with most major airlines offering some form of sky-high WiFi – and while this has traditionally attracted sky-high prices to match, the cost of connecting mid-flight is on the decline, with some airlines now even offering the service for free.
Among them: Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Finnair, Qantas and Virgin Australia: and if the trend continues, the prospect of paying for in-flight Internet could soon mirror the same concept at hotels, where Internet access once cost a small fortune but now comes at no charge for most guests.
Australian Business Traveller highlights five airlines that provide some form of free inflight Internet, including how you can take advantage on your next domestic or international flight.

Emirates: free Airbus A380, Boeing 777 in-flight Internet:

A business or first class ticket with Emirates now buys unlimited free Wi-Fi with the Gulf carrier.
Passengers booked in economy aren’t forgotten either, with the previous allowance of 10MB now boosted to 20MB for use within two hours of first connecting: although further browsing now costs US$9.99 for 150MB or US$15.99 for 500MB if you’re stuck down the back.

Finnair: free Airbus A330, A350 in-flight Internet:

Complimentary for the entire flight for Finnair Platinum and Oneworld Emerald frequent flyers travelling in any cabin, including Qantas Platinum, Platinum One and Chairman’s Lounge.
Business class passengers, Finnair Gold and Oneworld Sapphire frequent flyers (such as Qantas Gold) instead receive one hour of complimentary connectivity and can purchase further access at standard rates, being €7.95 for one hour, €11.95 for three hours or €19.95 for the entire flight.

Qantas: free Boeing 737 in-flight Wi-Fi

Your next Qantas domestic flight may provide sky-high WiFi if you chance upon the airline’s current Boeing 737 test aircraft (registration VH-XZB)
There are no time or download limits to get in your way, and access is completely free for all travellers: not just those seated in business class or with a shiny frequent flyer card.

Virgin Australia: free Boeing 737 in-flight Wi-Fi

Qantas challenger Virgin Australia is also trialing sky-high Wi-Fi aboard a single Boeing 737, and during that trial period, access is free for all passengers – again with no time or download limits.
The prospect of keeping the internet fee-free is still on the table; however, as is the idea of offering the first 30 minutes free and charging for further access, so until a final decision is made, make the most of the complimentary access!

Cathay Pacific: free Airbus A350 in-flight Internet


Cathay Pacific charges for its in-flight Internet – either US$9.95 for one hour or US$19.95 for the entire flight on journeys over six hours – but by completing a few quick questions, you can get the first hour free.

Why Malaysia?

Why Malaysia? The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).   Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot b...

March 27, 2014 - Why would   Israel   have a   plane   identical to the missing   Malaysia Airlines   plane in storage in Tel Aviv? The plane in this photo is   Boeing 777   2H6(ER) - 28416/155, an identical twin of the missing plane, which has been in   Israel   since November 2013. What are the Israelis doing with this plane in a hanger in Tel Aviv?   Could it be part of a false-flag terror plot in the making?  Where is this plane today? According to reports from plane-spotters,   Israel   has an identical   Malaysia Airlines   Boeing 777-200 in storage in   Tel Aviv   since November 2013. The only visible difference between the missing plane and the one in   Tel Aviv   would be its serial number. What do the Israelis have planned with the twin   Malaysia Airlines   plane? By using the twin aircraft they have in storage, the terror masterminds may have a...

SriLankan Airlines Flight Attendants & Ground Staff Used As Mules to Smuggle Gold

Gold smuggling racketeers have once again commenced using Flight Attendants of   SriLankan Airlines   as mules to smuggle gold into the country. A 27 year old former Mihin Lanka Flight Steward Meewala Arachchige Chanuka, who recently joined SriLankan Airlines after the airlines merged, confessed to Custom Officers when he was apprehended a few days ago, that he was promised a sum of Rs 40, 000 for carrying the 6.5 kilo grams of gold valued at Rs 35 million. This reported apprehension is now been taken very seriously by Customs Officers as in the past certain Flight Attendants of the national carrier were used as mules to assist gold smugglers in various ways to traffic gold into the country. The smuggling syndicates had previously roped in many staff by offering then hefty sums as rewards, especially those that had access to the aircraft. Several staff including Flight Attendants, Catering staff, Cleaning staff and the ramp Bus Drivers were all part of a mafia sty...
