Intl wifi JFK-NRT?
Hey guys, im booking a flight JFK-NRT-SIN and i have the option of doing the direct JFK-NRT, or breaking it up via MSP. I know DL said they were adding wifi to the JFK-NRT flight but the booking engine does not show wifi on that flight, tho we all know how unreliable that is. Can anyone confirm that the 747 from JFK-NRT has wifi? is it all of them or only select times?

This wiki says that 15 of the 16 747s in the fleet have satelite wifi. No sure when the last one will be done. Presumably you're flying before 10/25, after which date DTW and HNL are the only US airports with scheduled 747s.

As far as I'm aware all of the 747s in operation have Gogo satellite wifi. There was one ship, N661US, that hasn't been confirmed if wifi was installed but I thought I saw some reports that it was on there as well.

Perfect 
Is there a page with any pricing info for the international? I have the standard monthly pass, but as i havent flown any of the wifi equipped intl routes yet, not sure if they require a special one?

I recently went from NRT to TPE and vice versa on the 747 and my monthly pass worked just fine for logging into the wifi so you should be good if your plane has wifi.

WiFi worked from JFK-NRT pretty much the whole flight (with some gaps over Russian airspace) a few weeks ago. Flying back NRT-JFK, I couldn't get a login until US airspace and then only sporadically.

Flew SAN MSP NRT HKG this past Monday. Paid $12.95 for the one day mobile pass on my SAN MSP flight and gogo worked through my landing at NRT.
My sister flew LAX NRT on Sunday and it was $39.95 for gogo. Our NRT LAX flight yesterday was $29.95.

What metal was the MSP-NRT leg on? My alternate route with a layover via MSP is on a 777, wouldnt mind breaking it up a bit and tacking on a few more MQM for the same price (if theres wifi!)

Your standard monthly subscription works, for now. I would expect GoGo/Delta to add an "International" option once the entire fleet is outfitted.
