    Free to elites would be good! Interesting they like ANA are not putting this on the 787s yet.

    I thought they would be more creative with the naming too like JAL Wifi de Sky

    I was hoping they would but instead they offered it free for C and F which i guess is better than nothing.

    Looks like Boeing has solved the 787 wi-fi problem and it will come to 787 soon
