It's odd that they don't offer me in-seat telly/movies, but do offer me Wifi for 20euro.

Currently at many thousands of feet over the Atlantic (heading West for a change).

Not odd. They can charge you for wifi, and you provide your own entertainment at no cost to them in the form of an iPad or equivalent.

Makes perfect business sense.

they also charge 20 euro for wifi in frankfurt business lounge, so you can pay an 800 euro premium for a ticket to get to the US but still have to pay extra to get your emails!

have a great flight, enjoy the Warsteiner!

I bet they don't have any proper flavoured crisps onboard.

Paprika anyone?

So they could have given you an in-seat telly and chance to watch free movies, but instead gave you the option of paying 20 euro for WiFi.

Genius someone in marketing and revenue generation is probably driving a top of the range BMW, Audi, Merc as I type 😉

I can stream YouTube. This is better than O2 reception in Hebden Bridge.

Bet it took off late though! :o)

I fly with Luftwaffe far too often for my own sanity. Sick of having to get the unnecessary early flight just to get to a meeting on time.

It's a slippery slope, I tells thee, a slippery slope.

Coming soon to a nice peaceful flight near you...

I'm soooo glad that I don't fly anymore with work. It was bad enough when all of those "oh so important needy arseholes" would be shouting into their phones on the transit bus. It will be ghastly when they can do it in the aircraft.

IME the flight attendants are either called Helga or Bettina and look like they were products of the GDR doping program.
