Boeing Unveils Pricing for In-Flight Web Access

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Boeing Co. on Thursday announced pricing for its Connexion high-speed Internet service that will soon enable travelers to surf the Web or send messages to friends or co-workers while cruising at 30,000 feet.
Commercial air passengers with standard wireless connections on their laptops or handheld devices would be able to use the new Boeing service to check e-mail, visit their favorite Internet sites or plug into their company's secure network.

Boeing will offer Connexion at both flat-rate and metered pricing, David Friedman, Boeing's vice president of marketing, told Reuters in a telephone interview.

The flat rate, which would give a user unlimited Internet access, will cost $29.95 for flights lasting longer than six hours. Each three- to six-hour leg will be charged at $19.95, while access on trips under three hours would cost $14.95.

The metered price will be $9.95 for long- and medium-haul flights, plus 25 cents a minute after the first 30 minutes. For short-haul flights lasting less than three hours, Connexion access will cost $7.95 for the first half-hour, plus 25 cents for every additional minute.

The Connexion service is scheduled to start around the end of April on several Lufthansa international flights originating from Germany. Boeing also has service agreements with such airlines as Scandinavia's SAS, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines.

Friedman said Ethernet connectivity will be available at a later date.
