Every time I returned home, I thought of a plane that would take so long, and it was a bit of a breakdown in my heart.
After more than a dozen hours of travel, either listening to the old man talk about the past story of resisting the United States and helping the DPRK, or talking to the aunt about how much the son and daughter had been doing.
This kind of time to see from the moment on the plane to sleep to the dark next to the seat, the heart is really jealous ah.
God knows what I should do if I can`t sleep for the next ten hours!
I wish I could have Wifi at this time. The good news is that Qantas, Virgin two airlines, are really very good ah!
The two airlines are adding Wifi, to domestic flights, which means that half of the passengers already have access to the Internet while on domestic flights.
At the start of this year, Qantas`s high-speed network, already installed on 75 Boeing 737 aircraft, has 42, and the rest will be upgraded by 2019.
In addition, Qantas has installed an in-plane Internet on the Airbus A330, which usually only flies east-west coastal routes.
Qantas will be able to provide free Wifi services with speeds up to 10-15Mbps upon completion of the upgrade
Virgin Airlines also announced that of its 80-plus Boeing 737, 42 have installed the aircraft Wifi, and the rest of the upgrade will be completed within the year.
In other words, by 2020, all Virgin Boeing 737 will be equipped with Wifi.
Virgin will also install the Wifi for the Airbus A330 starting in February, which is expected to be completed this year.
Virgin`s domestic route Wifi speeds up to 1 Mbps. high-speed connectivity to 12Mbps on paid terms
The on-board Wifi charge for the international line will be AUS $7 per hour.

Finally, Xiao Wei again to teach you a few tricks, how to judge your flight, there is no on-board Wifi?
1. When buying tickets online
If you buy a ticket through the airline`s own App, and you find a "Wifi" sign behind the flight number, it means that the flight has a Wifi on board.
For example.
2. Observe the top of the fuselage
Before boarding, you might as well take a look at the appearance of the plane and see if there is a small protuberance at the top of the fuselage.
If any, this is the satellite antenna of the Wifi on board:
3. Observation of aircraft hatch
When you board the plane, you might want to pay close attention to the plane hatch and see if there is a "Wifi-on Board" sign.
4. Observe the back of the luggage rack or seat in the cabin
General airlines will mark the Wifi coverage on the luggage rack seat, or on the back of the seat.
