If I’m traveling for work, I’m traveling for an entire week. For me, that’s usually every second week. And if I’m traveling, I’m in non-stop meetings and presentations at my destinations.
Those weeks, my in-flight time is my only heads-down working time (unless I cut into my sleep and work late into the night at my hotel, or cut into my weekends at home). Since my US destinations are rarely non-stops from YYC, I easily spend 4 to 5 hours in flight on my outbound and the same coming back. That’s a lot of time out of my work week. I don’t sit there watching movies.
I need to be connected in order to work effectively.
As a business traveler, reliable and functioning in-flight Internet is important to me. For me, it works very well on DL and UA, but - the point of this thread - not well on WS.
