MOSCOW, November 15 (Sputnik) – A Canadian entrepreneur has been charged $1,200 for checking his emails during a flight from London to Singapore, The Independent reported.
Jeremy Gutsche decided to check his work emails while flying via ‘Singapore Airlines’.
“I wish I could blame an addiction to Netflix or some intellectual documentary that made me $1,200 smarter. However, the Singapore Airlines internet was painfully slow, so videos would be impossible and that means I didn’t get any smarter,” said Gutsche, as quoted by Daily Mail.

Various wi-fi packages are offered on the company’s website. Prices are based on the amount of data or the length of time online, but the use of internet over the package limit is charged additionally.
“The pricing per megabyte was disclosed on sign-up. But I bought the $30 package, slept through most the flight, and really didn’t think I’d end up a thousand bucks past the limit,” Gutsche said, as quoted by The Independent.
