    Some airlines now provide different levels of free wifi the entire flight. Some require a free account that can be a pain to setup, some limit the access to specific apps like Whatsapp, and some like Qatar airways give you full high-speed low latency access.

    But wifi on airplanes isn’t new, but used to be exclusively paid for slow internet access.
