WiFi Hotspot Saves Roaming Costs austrian airlines inflight

Although the roaming fee regulation has already entered into force within the EU, there are huge costs for using the mobile Internet outside the European Union, including Switzerland. In addition, domestic providers already offer national-only rates, where roaming is even blocked. Why should customers who travel on average one week a year pay more expensive tariffs including EU roaming for the whole year?

The “Flink Mobile WiFi Hotspot”, offered on board Austrian Airlines, is available for 29 euros in the on-board duty-free magazine including three 24-hour day passes (updated list of countries). All aircraft on non-EU routes have hotspots for rent.

Each additional 24-hour day pass for rented hotspots costs € 8.90. Passengers can also decide after the three-day rent to buy the hotspot for an additional 99 euros. For purchased hotspots, the future 24-hour day passes are offered for just € 5.90.

Using the Mobile WiFi Hotspot is easy: users only need the device (124 mm high, 68 mm wide and 12 mm thick) switch on, register and finally connect the desired WLAN-enabled devices to the hotspot via WLAN.

Dr. Julian Fischer, Innovation Manager at Austrian Airlines, says: “The solution offered by the Viennese start-up company in cooperation with us is another example of an innovative and customer-oriented service. Our passengers can now easily and cheaply stay connected to the Internet as they leave the plane and begin their business, business or vacation. “

“ Our commitment to leading connectivity solutions and our travel experience has led to this collaboration. Austrian Airlines is the perfect partner for us as this company, like us, constantly strives for excellence and opportunities to enrich the travel experience of its customers, “says Marc Melich, CEO of Flink GmbH.
