Cost of Inflight Access: Skyhigh
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Boeing announced pricing last week for its Connexion inflight wireless internet service. Its going to cost you more than those Wolfgang Puck sandwiches that airlines are selling these days.
Connexion will be offered at both flat-rate and metered pricing:
- The flat rate?
- Flights lasting longer than six hours will cost $29.95.
- Three- to six-hour legs will cost $19.95 each.
- Trips under three hours will cost $14.95.
- The metered price?
- $9.95 for long- and medium-haul flights, plus 25 cents a minute after the first 30 minutes.
- $7.95 for the first half-hour, plus 25 cents for every additional minute, on short haul flights (under three hours).
Makes hotel access look cheap. And note that there is no mention of a monthly flat rate for frequent flyers.
