Delta Airlines launching free in-flight Wi-Fi

Domestic flights only for now; international flights by the end of 2024.

also a reminder that certain credit cards (like Amex) give you an annual airline credit, that you can use towards things like inflight wifi and booze. you need to tell the card which airline to assign it to.

Nice. I hope it forces more airlines to improve their WiFi service and prices. I’ve been flying JetBlue and their WiFi is free and works well.

Do be advised this is for Sky Miles members only.

You can can easily sign up for an account....no need to have an elite status.

The airline announced all Delta SkyMiles members, including folks who don’t have elite status, will have access to free Wi-Fi on most of its flights as of Feb. 1, 2023. Passengers will even be able to sign up for Delta SkyMiles onboard if they don’t already have an account.

Does this mean it will actually start working?

This oughtta be interesting with 200 passengers, all at once, looking for the fast - free - onboard WiFi.
