Air France, KLM testing WiFi on long-haul flights
Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have introduced WiFi on two Boeing 777-300s and will test the service for the rest of 2013.
During the test phase, passengers can pay for inflight WiFi by the hour or for the entire flight, regardless of class of service.
The service costs about $14 per hour and about $25 for the entire flight.
Passengers can connect to the Internet using their WiFi enabled smartphones, laptops or tablets, and use their mobile phones for text messages or email.
The two WiFi equipped aircraft will operate on several long-haul destinations during the trial.
During the test phase, customers will be asked to share comments and suggestions.
Air France and KLM are working with Panasonic Avionics on the initiative.
