Worth knowing before you pay
- Passes cannot be pre-purchased — Turkish states internet passes can only be bought in the air.
- Free allowances are data caps, not time: once your 250 MB or 1 GB is gone you are back to buying.
- Internet packages vary by aircraft type, so the rate card is not guaranteed on every airframe.
- Some countries' regulations block connectivity in their airspace, or restrict it to above 10,000 feet.
