You Can Get Free Wi-Fi on Delta Flights Starting in February
Starting next month, if you board a Delta flight, you may no longer have to choose between exorbitant Wi-Fi fees or sheer boredom: the company has announced that passengers will be able to get free Wi-Fi on hundreds of Delta domestic aircraft, starting from February.
Delta said in a press release that free Wi-Fi will be “aboard most domestic flights.” The service will be launched on over 500 aircraft starting next month and will be available on over 700 aircraft (out of their 1,280 aircraft) by the end of the year, so don’t expect the service to be available on every flight right away.
How to get free Wi-Fi on a Delta flight
Once on board the aircraft, select the “Deltawifi.com” network in your device’s settings. You will then need to enter your SkyMiles number and password. (If you don’t have a SkyMiles account, you can create one for free right from the login page while flying.) You can log in to multiple devices with your account.
How to find out if your flight will have free Wi-Fi
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know in advance if the flight you’re booking will be one of the lucky ones with free Wi-Fi: you won’t know for sure until you’re ready to board and see the blue sticker at the boarding door. with the inscription “Fast, free Wi-Fi” – then you will realize that you are lucky.
While Delta claims to be “the first major U.S. airline to offer free Wi-Fi,” JetBlue has been offering free Wi-Fi throughout the U.S. continental fleet since 2017 , according to CNN. You can check Delta’s FAQ if you need more information about the free Wi-Fi program.
