Inflight Wi-Fi is a feature I value greatly. It's how I'm able to spend most of the week above the Atlantic while pumping out nearly a dozen blog posts per day. 😉 It's amazing how far inflight Wi-Fi has come -- first inflight Wi-Fi was really slow, then it got faster, and now we're seeing…

France is not in the coverage so I don't know if the gate-to-gate Wi-Fi is available.
The very brief gaps happen when the plane crosses to another band since one satellite could only cover a certain portion.
Air New Zealand does the same. Full speed (10mbit+) wifi that's free for everyone on the plane. In fact I'm writing this from SFO-AKL. They advertised it heavily and the speeds don't really suffer even with nearly 300 pax onboard.

Back to La Compagnie's Wifi, it seems to me obvious that its cost is embeeded in your $1,600 roundtrip ticket... Providing connectivity at 36000ft is not free, in any case somebody needs to pay for it (airline, sponsor or end user), but it looks like la Compagnie did it well in packaging its Business Class product. I'll try it as soon as possible! Best, Christian
