Hmm. Way back when, what was it? 2006? I visited Japan the first time on a KAL flight on an old Boeing 777, which still had CRT monitors hanging from the ceiling. But 16 years ago on thisnold airplane I found I could access the internet using Boeing wifi. It cost me $13 for fast internet for the duration of my flight. Why was it so easy and non-dramatic to get in-flight internet in those days, while today it is being marketed as something new and cutting-edge? JAL and ANA have had internet for a few years at least, though it is more complicated and less reliable than back in 2006.

sangetsu03, how fast was the "fast internet" that you had on KAL in 2006? I suspect the internet service to be offered on Hawaiian Airlines is orders of magnitude faster, as well as cheaper.

That free internet will be useful for figuring out what you've forgotten to upload onto mysos. Takes at least 8 hours to figure out.
