I decided to try out Lufthansa’s in-flight internet access at a cost of \u00e2\u201a\u00ac17\/24 hours. This was good as I got to write emails, do some work, etc while on a pretty long HND-FRA-EZE flight (yes, it works on connections too). <\/p>\n
The connectivity isn’t that reliable. Yes, your VPN barely works. Sure they say you shouldn’t make voice calls (but use of the in-flight phone is fine – so it’s not to prevent annoying passengers, it’s to protect a revenue stream). FaceTime (audio & video work). Streaming Netflix doesn’t. <\/p>\n
Many times the connectivity would drop, sometimes for hours on end. <\/p>\n
But the ability to be able to Whatsapp, iMessage, or FaceTime (with headphones) your loved ones from mid-air? Priceless. <\/p>\n
