PaxEx: Qatar Airways Offers Free Laptops On US Flights

Qatar Airways has come up with a unique solution to the recently imposed Electronics Ban by offering passengers a laptop loan service that takes their award-winning five-star reputation to new heights.
Showing true commitment to travellers affected by the ban, the airline has purchased laptops available for loan on all of their US flights; meaning uninterrupted productivity and service throughout their journey.
The complimentary laptops will be available to Business Class passengers travelling on all US-bound flights from next week and and can be collected from the Gate just before boarding.
Customers will be able to download their work on to a USB before stepping on board to pick up where they left-off.
Qatar Airways is offering a special service at the gate for all passengers, whereby prohibited devices will be collected and securely packaged. These will be tagged, loaded as check-in baggage and returned safely to the customer on arrival to the US.
In another move, Qatar Airways is providing all passengers on board US-bound flights one hour of free Wi-Fi and a special Wi-Fi package of US$5 to stay connected for the duration of the flight.
