Perhaps unsurprisingly, inflight internet access is popular. According to a survey of 3200 high-frequency travelers commissioned by Boeing, 83% of respondents would consider online access to be a key factor in deciding which airline to fly. (Currently, ANA, Asiana, China Airlines, El Al, Etihad Airways, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Lufthansa, SAS, and Singapore Airlines offer Boeing’s Connexion service. United is rolling out a Verizon-powered service over North America in the near future.)

94% of respondents who had used the service reported that they would use it again.
