KAMPALA December 15– Qatar Airways has announced complimentary Wi-Fi access to passengers across its fleet. The airline says starting December 17, passengers on enables aircraft will be allowed 15 minutes of free access to the onboard Wi-Fi network. Those that wish to remain connected will buy data in bundles starting at $5 for one hour, $10 for three hours and $20 for unlimited access for those that may wish to stay connected for the entire duration of the flight.

Guests in Qatar Airways First Class cabin on board the airline’s A380 will enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi for the duration of their trip.
