Travellers are not interested in in-flight
Wi-Fi if it comes at a cost, a survey has confirmed.
The research shows
that 84 per cent of air passengers would actually rather go without internet
access than pay for the privilege.
This is despite the fact that many travellers
supported the idea of Wi-Fi during their flight, with more than a quarter of
men and over a fifth of women saying that they would be more productive if they
could work on the plane.
A quarter even suggested that they should not
have to pay, because web access is on its way to being a human right.
But others were worried that staying plugged
into their emails and social networks while travelling would damage the holiday
atmosphere on their journey. Another tenth admitted that they would be unable
to relax if they knew they could access work en route.
