Flybe Passenger Lounges to be Blessed with BT Openzone Wi-Fi

Six of the UK lounges of Flybe Airlines would be allowing its customers who used laptop while taking a flight, wireless broadband access materialised by BT Openzone. Traveller-internet users can enjoy the new facility this summer onwards. This would obviously enable holidaymakers to browse internet through Wi-Fi, while they wait with the carrier, for their flights from Birmingham, Belfast, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Glasgow and Exeter.

4.8 million customers of UK ISP, BT Broadband can enjoy free wireless internet access with inclusive minutes for Wi-Fi usage. The free service can also be enjoyed by BT Openzone customers and certain customers of O2 Mobile Broadband. The fresh service will be rolled out initially at half of the total lounges of Flybe. Travellers using the service of other broadband providers as well, can gain access to the new service by buying a Wi-Fi usage voucher of BT Openzone.

BT Openzone had also opened a new Wi-Fi hotspot in the Heathrow’s Terminal 4 building, in June. That then had been in the Sky Team launch of the airport building. Chris Bruce, BT Openzone’s General Manager noted that holiday makers were armed with wireless devices, as business travellers wanted to be productive even while waiting for their flights. He also claimed that they were providing an increased number of Wi-Fi spots, where travellers wanted them most, with their UK access spots as well as overseas hotspots, allowing the flyers to keep in touch on the move.
