International WiFi on KLM flight
Hi all,
I am very frustrated that WiFi is not working at all. I was on my flight. I went on my iPhone. It's say no Internet Connection. I'm keep trying! I used WiFi on my flight from AMS-ATL on this last Monday. But, I used free WiFi during my flight. I texts to my sister-in-law and it's not working at all. They needs to fixed WiFi connection on all B787-9 Dreamliner. They have make sure WiFi is working okay. I don't want loses WiFi connection again. Any suggestions??

Hi all,
I am very frustrated that WiFi was working fine. I was on my flight. Wanted to sleep. I went on my iPhone. It's say Internet Connection. I'm keep trying to sleep! I used WiFi on my flight from AMS-CUN on this last Thursday. But, I used free WiFi during my flight. I kept on receiving texts. They needs to break WiFi connection on all B787-9 Dreamliner. They have make sure WiFi is not working okay so people can sleep. I don't want loses sleep again. Any suggestions??

I read about 60 minutes free WiFi/internet on intercontinental flights.
Someone can tell me, when I open for the first time, I have 60 minutes? Or can I switch off to spread my 60 minuten over my 10 hours during flight?
I'm not sure if I should buy a bundle. a flight without range is of course a real holiday
but a little messaging with family and friends is also relaxation, a little insta, Facebook .. I think 18 euros is quite a fair amount

but it’s only text message apps. Not foto or other apps.

the free pass works for everything, such as email. There's no blocking in place to prevent you from using it for things which are not messaging. Even sending photos works.
however, a single picture can take 10~ minutes to upload, as the speed is so limited I wouldn't recommend it for anything else than messaging.
