Is It Worth It?

  • Worth it: 2+ hour flights where you need to send emails/messages
  • Not worth it: 1-hour hops — you'll barely connect before landing
  • 💡 Free alternative: Download Netflix/Spotify content offline before flight

What Works on Flight WiFi

  • ✅ WhatsApp messages, emails, browsing
  • ⚠️ Social media — slow but works
  • ❌ Video calls, streaming, large downloads — too slow
