Airline Passengers Passing On Wi-Fi

It seems air travelers want their Wi-Fi like they still want their peanuts...for free!

Airlines have been spending millions of dollars to add Wi-Fi capability to their aircraft...but it's estimated that only a small percentage of travelers are using it.

Airlines an in-flight Wi-Fi providers won't disclose how much the service is used, but what analysts will tell you is the chief reason usage is obviously low is the price.

Wi-Fi can cost up to $14.95 per flight.
