Re: that sucks

I have never seen free Wi-Fi in any airport I've been to - and I've been to quite a few. Flying to Las Vegas tomorrow, actually!

Let me rephrase: by "business customers" I didn't mean "customers in business class". I meant customers traveling in economy, who would benefit from doing business aboard a plane.

I think the point I'm trying to make is that personally I don't care what the cost is as long as it's affordable - if it's available I'll use it - just make it available on all flights!

You flying out of Po-Dunk (Back water) airports and not major hubs? Most Major Airports I've visited have free wifi, at least in and around the flights I've taken. Maybe it's the local starbucks offering a signal or the airport itself. I don't know. All I know is I get the free public wifi and I get the net. Maybe you are using smaller airports (which tend to be cheaper), but lack such amenities? You ever been to ATL (Atlanta), HOU( Hobby), IAH (Intercontinental), DWI among others? Those all had wifi when I visited. Lately, I've flown more times in the past year, then in my entire life. The tally stands at 4 trips in a year so far. Flown several times in the past, but never this much in one given period. I'm not a business traveler, just had stuff to get done I guess this year.

I've been to all of those in the past. My most frequented airports lately have been ATL, LGA, EWR, JFK, DFW. I haven't counted exactly, but last year I must have taken more than 20 flights. I have never encountered free Wi-Fi in any of those airports, sorry.

Odd. I've gotten it with no trouble. Maybe you flights are in a different area. Everytime I've flown out of these guys, I got a signal to use.
