In-flight internet access, is still quite the luxury. In most cases, you'll have to pay between $5 and $10 for an hour's worth of all-you-can-eat data – enough to tweet about how expensive the service is, but insufficient to keep you entertained on a length trip.

Yet the following airlines still provide their passengers with free internet access for the duration of their flights:
- Norwegian Airlines has high-speed broadband on flights within Europe. The service is available on the company's Boeing 737-800 aircrafts.
- JetBlue has all of its Airbus 321s and most of its A320 planes equipped with Wi-Fi gear. There's a catch, however. The free access option imposes restrictions on your connection. To go online at full speed, you'll have to buy a pass.
- Hongkong Airlines has free Wi-Fi on its Airbus A330-200 aircraft operating from London to Hong Kong. The connection speed, however, is limited for those using a free pass.
- Air China's free Wi-Fi service comes with a catch. Passengers cannot connect to it from their smartphones as these are not allowed to be on during flights. Tablets and laptops, on the other hand, are A-OK.
- Nok Air provides free Wi-Fi internet access on domestic flights throughout Thailand. The service is only available on two aircrafts, however.
