Internet access on the plane will become free for all passengers.

Swiss International Air Lines will make internet access on board its aircraft free for all passengers.

According to Avianews, this service will be provided on the airline’s long-haul aircraft. During the flight, passengers will be able to receive and send test and graphic messages through messaging apps.

To do this, you need to connect to the on-board Wi-Fi network through which the connection is provided. Traffic in the free package is unlimited. Messages can be exchanged from any platform — a mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

Passengers who want to open websites and watch videos during their journey can choose an unrestricted package. For 25 Swiss francs (approximately $29), they will get 4 hours of unlimited access, or they can choose a package for the entire flight for 35 Swiss francs (approximately $40) and enjoy an unlimited connection throughout the flight. It should be noted that paid packages will have a restriction only on video streaming. This practice has been introduced to ensure an adequate internet connection speed for all passengers on board.
