From what we've seen so far, before SpaceX will agree to enter into a contract with an airline to supply it with inflight ultra-fast WiFi, the airline has to agree to offer that WiFi free of change to all of its customers. On the face of things, that can seem great (from a customer standpoint), but it does leave us with the question which asks who's shouldering the costs? I think we should know.

The proliferation of aircraft equipped with ultra-fast inflight WiFi courtesy of SpaceX and Starlink is getting a lot of positive press right now, but at the risk of sounding like a Luddite, I'm yet to be convinced that access to speedy inflight WiFi is going to be a net-positive for air travel and for customers.

Right now, ExpressVPN (the service that I use) is offering new customers up to four months free when they take out a new subscription and if you use the referral link that I've included in this article, that should give you one more free month giving you up to five free months of service.

Safety and security are always the key reasons given when people talk about why it's a good idea to have and use a VPN when traveling but while that's clearly the correct thing to focus on, there's also another reason why it's a good idea to have access to a VPN when you're abroad.
