In-flight Wi-Fi launching in South Africa soon

Great, now we'll have to watch people Facebook all the way. So far we've been watching other peoples movies (without sounds).

sorry? are you invading other people's privacy?

A one day pass was USD 12 (R94), so I think R100 in SA would be exceptionally good pricing - especially considering the demand for it in SA will be significantly less than in the US, so it would take longer for them to pay off the equipment costs.

If it is a one day pass for R100, i think it is good. It should include the airports and all flights in that 24 hour period. R50 is more reasonable for a single flight pass. But some people fly in and out on the same day, and having to pay R100 for 2 flights is a bit insane. So R100 DAY pass, go for it!

I also had a Skype chat to my folks back in SA

Just what we all want, someone having a telephone conversation in the seat next to us

This is a really good thing to do, in flight wi-fi is a really good idea.

R100 per flight is not a bad price, in fact it would be a good price provided we get a good speed (384kbps for each user at least).
