I’m writing this from the cabin of Lufthansa flight 723 en route to Munich from Beijing. With the exception of our retun flight, I will probably not be posting from the skies much longer because Boeing is currently in the process of eliminating this service. As a small consolation, Boeing gave former customers free access until they pull the plug on Dec. 31.
I would really like to have been on the Being Connexion team (not really) to see how something with such an ambitious vision could be scrapped so quickly.
It’s very frustrating to be a customer that values this service and sees it dying off. Rather than let the idea grow through a gestation period, they killed it off because it (probably) didn’t grow fast enough. It’s a no-brainer that we will be online while flying. What gives? It makes me think that they priced it and made too complex for the average user with the intent of making it fail. Who knows for sure?
