Paying for wifi: So airlines in America is giving not giving great customer service. What else is new?
Meanwhile in Europe low-cost carriers like Norwegian offers free wifi on most flights.
- mirithekiwi 11y agoMeanwhile in Europe low-cost carries like Ryanair charge fees for not checking in online or not printing your boarding pass at home. I really don't think this is a Europe-vs-America issue.
- sleepyhead 11y ago1) I don't think anyone else than Ryanair does that. I do agree they suck though. 2) It is an American issue. Have you been on any airline from Europe, Middle East or Asia? If you generalise the offerings and compare the level of service then you will find that American airlines offers much lower service. Most European airlines are quite good, and most big carriers from Asia and Middle East are much better.
- idlewords 11y agoNorwegian makes you pay for water.
- icebraining 11y agoSeems fine by me, since I can bring my own water but not my own WiFi :)
- nwhybrid 11y agoThe TSA would have a field day with all your cavities if you try to even so much as bring more than an ounce over three through airport security. Good old USA!
- jrockway 11y agoYou bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at the airport. I've never seen an airport that charges for tap water.
- icebraining 11y agoYeah, either fill it up or buy in the shops after security, which (in my experience) is still cheaper than in the plane.
- adrianb 11y agoIt's the same situation on both sides of the Atlantic. Both JetBlue and Norwegian are low-cost carriers and offer free Wifi while the big flag carriers charge for it, if it's even available.
