NW gives free WiFi to CRC members, Plats/SkyTeam E+, Plat Amex members, guests, etc. The only restriction in place is weekly passcodes to deter outside leeching. CO offers similar free connectivity. It should not be below or beyond DL to be on par with its partners.
But they don't even give the passes to their international business-class passengers unless the BE passenger also happens to be a CRC member. What makes you special?
