New Delhi: Bored watching in-flight movies? Now, you can surf the Net, send and receive e-mails (even with large files attached) as you fly Lufthansa, to or from India.
The German airline is offering high-speed onboard internet called FlyNet, which enables passengers with a WLAN-enabled laptop or smartphone unlimited access to the Web.
Passengers can also use the iPad to connect to the internet through a hotspot, just as they would do at any public hotspot on the ground.
The airline said users will be automatically connected to the free-of-charge FlyNet portal, which provides constant updates on business, politics, sports and entertainment. A satellite links the aircraft to the Web, the airline said in a statement. It has come up with various billing options for internet usage, including €10.95 or 3,500 miles for one hour or €19.95 or 7,000 miles for 24-hour access.
